The event aims to bring together experts in agricultural index insurance to share innovative solutions and best practices in addressing climate risks in Africa.
During the symposium, Leadway will contribute to a panel discussion on scaling agricultural index insurance for resilient food systems, highlighting its WeatherGuard product and sharing insights on public-private partnerships for climate adaptation.

The model also offers bundled services, such as agronomic advisory services and digital enrollment, to enhance accessibility and impact for smallholder farmers.
The Africa Climate Insurance Symposium is a crucial platform for driving cross-country collaboration and knowledge exchange among insurers, regulators, governments, and development partners. By sharing successful models and best practices, participants aim to enhance regional cooperation and bolster African climate resilience.
