Gatsby Africa
Access to Finance
Quad Tee was engaged by Gatsby Africa to conduct a comprehensive study on the livestock finance landscape in Kenya, focusing on mapping commercial banks’ financial products and identifying key barriers to livestock sector financing. Our team performed an in-depth supply-side analysis to map available livestock finance products offered by major commercial banks. This included assessing product specifics such as collateral requirements, interest rates, and payment terms, alongside understanding the constraints banks face in deploying capital to the livestock sector.
The study also explored whether government policies influence bank investments in specific geographies or product types. To complement the supply-side insights, we collaborated with Gatsby Africa to conduct a targeted demand-side assessment. Engaging key players in the beef value chain, we analyzed their experiences in accessing bank products and identified barriers that limit financial flows to livestock businesses. These insights were synthesized to propose actionable solutions for lowering barriers to finance and fostering greater alignment between banks and livestock enterprises.
In addition, our discussions with banks and businesses identified immediate opportunities for pilot projects. These pilots are providing investment facilitation support to businesses, enabling tangible financial deals and generating insights on how to shift commercial banks toward offering more accessible and affordable finance to the livestock sector.
FAO
Feasibility Study of Index Based Livestock Insurance (IBLI) in South Sudan
We conducted a feasibility study on Index-Based Livestock Insurance (IBLI) in Greater Kapoeta, South Sudan. The study aimed to assess the viability of IBLI as a solution for mitigating pastoral risks in the region. Our team evaluated pastoralists' willingness to participate in an IBLI scheme, assessed the capacity of local institutions to implement the model, and explored its integration with South Sudan’s existing frameworks.
The study focused on addressing the environmental shocks that lead to livestock losses, which are critical to the food security, social status, and economic well-being of pastoral communities. By analyzing the potential of IBLI to protect against drought, disease, and market volatility, this initiative highlights the promise of innovative insurance mechanisms in strengthening resilience in South Sudan's livestock economy.
