Case Details

Building herders’ resilience to shocks through social insurance scheme

Social insurance schemes assist Mongolian herders in times of distress. UN’s joint programme on extending social protection to herders sees that enrolling herders in the social insurance scheme is a way to prevent herders from further vulnerabilities to poverty and climate-related shocks. Therefore, the programme sees the importance of informing the herders about the benefits of social and health insurance schemes
