STEP 3: Identifying Gaps

The risk assessment and the results of the DRM performance analysis provide the basis for identifying protection gaps that need to be filled by appropriate DRM mechanisms. Insurance solutions can add value to close these gaps. The following would be available at the end of the assessment and gap identification:

  • Inventory of all identified agricultural-related DRM mechanisms and strategies.
  • Description of the scope and characteristics of each mechanism.
  • Analysis of the performance and matching of existing risks.
