“The work USAID is funding at IRI has enabled us this year to expand our index insurance project, to 37,000 additional farmers in Rwanda.

Insurance will allow these smallholder farmers to withstand the impacts of bad years, and to risk making productive investments.

A major challenge to index insurance is the paucity of local historical weather data. In Rwanda this is greatly exacerbated by the impacts of the civil war and genocide, which left the last 19 years with virtually no record.

The IRI has worked to validate and make available US-NOAA’s ARC2 satellite data for this purpose.”

Fritz Brugger - Syngenta Foundation Head Agricultural Support Services, May 2013.

How do we sustain the global public goods we produce?

What is the right balance of work at IRI?

Is outreach critical to our survival – non project events – COFs, COPs, Boards, travel – how do we sustain it?

Administrative, IT, communications, mgt. imbalance – how do we balance it?

How do we become more robust?
