Index Based Livestock Insurance (IBLI) Marsabit Household Survey

The first (baseline) round of socio-economic household survey to evaluate the impact of Index Based Livestock Insurance (IBLI) in Marsabit, Northern Kenya. International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Cornell University, University of California-Davis, and Syracuse University in collaboration with implementing partners, UAP Insurance Company and Equity Bank piloted in January 2010 a market-mediated index-based insurance product, designed to protect pastoralists from drought-related livestock mortality, in Marsabit district. To better understand and monitor the success of IBLI, there is the need for continuous impact evaluation and assessment, tracking the changes in well-being of individual households that can be attributed to the program and product. To that end, the IBLI team carried out a pre-intervention baseline survey (October-November 2009) and complemented it with annual follow-up rounds from 2010 to 2015. The details of the survey and the data are described in the data codebook.
