00:26 This is what the,
00:27 the,
00:27 the,
00:27 the drive project envisaged.
00:28 That is,
00:29 if there's quick payout,
00:30 then you encourage the next group of people to know that,
00:33 wow,
00:33 this thing works actually.
00:34 And the idea is that you're able to give them money to buy pasture,
00:37 to buy fodder,
00:39 so that the animals don't die.

01:35 The project is designed as a package,
01:38 a provision for pastoralists in the country
01:42 to have this integrated package for financial
01:45 services including the road index insurance,
01:49 savings account,
01:50 and digital payment network.

02:38 Livestock insurance is also a new product in Somalia
02:42 and it is the first time it is implemented in Somalia.
02:46 It was really very successful.
02:49 A lot of pastoralists have participated
02:52 and we are hoping in the next season
02:55 that we will reach
02:57 most of the Somali
02:59 and regions.
03:01 That model of having that combination of.
03:03 The bank and the insurance companies working together,
03:06 I think it added value to the project where the bank was creating a bridge of trust
03:12 between the insurance companies and the beneficiaries.
03:16 Whenever the beneficiaries seeing that they will be having
03:20 bank savings accounts and their money is safe,
03:23 then accepting and buying the products became easier.
03:27 The government as a whole.
03:29 Promotes
03:30 the private sector investment
03:33 to the different sectors of the productive sector,
03:35 and livestock is one of the productive sectors and one of the success.
03:40 This project indeed is a demonstration of the government effort
03:43 to build resilience and increase income of the pastoralists,
03:46 reducing their vulnerability
03:48 to poverty and expenditure required during droughts.

With Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia suffering the impacts of drought, help is coming from the DRIVE Project. The De-risking, Inclusion, and Value Enhancement of Pastoral Economies in the Horn of Africa (DRIVE) Project is working to enable the region to adapt to the impacts of climate change, commercialize livestock production in pastoralist communities, and ensure inclusion of the marginalized and vulnerable groups such as women in the sector.
250,000 households are expected to benefit from the project representing 1.6 million pastoralists and their dependents. The project will enable $572 million in private capital to help pastoralists tap into drought insurance and savings, get access to digital accounts, and attract more private investment in pastoral areas. About 2,500 pastoralist groups will be connected to markets so that they get better value from their livestock-rearing activities, as currently, they are at the bottom of the value chain.
