Long term sustainable societal benefits result from innovative solutions that are scalable and resilient over time. The Agency for Inclusive Insurance Development (AIID) gets involved only in projects that combine innovation, scale, sustainability, and resilience. Every project AIID chooses to undertake is based on and is measured against these four pillars.

Their focus is concentrated around mitigating climate risk and preparing society to deal better and sustainably with the adverse effects of climate risk. AIID achieves this by designing, piloting, implementing and scaling insurance products that provide measurable value to society. Limited access to service provider markets and lack of consumer understanding of insurance services among pastoralists and small-holder farmers in Africa's arid and semi-arid regions are major issues. Thus, AIID enables pastoralists to mitigate and deal sustainably with the adverse effects of climate risk through their insurance services based on 11 years of experience.
