Webinar on Bundling agriculture index insurance with financial and non financ...Impact Insurance Facility
The WBG's Global Index Insurance Facility, the USAID and BASIS/I4-sponsored Global Action Network (GAN) and the ILO's Impact Insurance Facility organised a webinar to look into the question "How can index insurance be bundled with other financial and non financial services". This webinar featured speakers from global organizations who shared experiences and discussed which services and activities in the agriculture value chain are most aligned for bundling. It explored mechanisms and issues in bundling, and also looked into the possible impact of bundling on pricing & off-take of index insurance and measures of tracking it.
Speakers: François-Xavier Albouy (Vice President PlaNet Guarantee), Michael R. Carter (Professor and Director BASIS Research Program, University of California, Davis), Shadreck Mapfumo (Senior Financial Specialist World Bank Group) and David Muigai (Actuarial Officer ACRE).
Nigel J. Robinson - ZooBank and Zoological Record - a partnership for successICZN
Since its origin in 1864, ZR has had a close association with the taxonomic community, particularly with the Zoological Society of London. ZR was founded in 1864 by a group of scientists associated with the British Museum. It continued, supported by Society until 1980 when a partner was sought and BIOSIS took over production activities. In 2004, BIOSIS realised that with limited resources we could not achieve our aims and put our ideas into practice without further partnerships, so in January 2004, BIOSIS (including ZR) was acquired by the Thomson Corporation, and the new ownership is now starting to pay dividends. Over that 150 years or so, there have been difficult times, but ZR is still here and still has the same purpose it had in 1864 - to serve the community and disseminate taxonomic, biodiversity and zoological information for the benefit of scientific research.
This presentation discusses ZR, and the new free Index to Organism Names service which serves to demonstrate our commitment as Thomson to this initiative. I will also discuss how the partnership between ZR and ICZN might work from the ZR perspective.
