In our discussions and explorations with various people, we keep coming across examples worth emulating and replicating all the time. This one’s truly one worth sharing.
“Our locally managed (at the village level) insurance programme was designed not only to offset economic losses due to livestock depredation, but to also reduce the extent of depredation by providing financial rewards to herders for better anti-predatory herding.”
Imagine - a remote village learned the value of a collective action - insurance, underwriting shared risks and costs for the same, and solved a “conflict” through lowering the severity of the risk for any individual.
This fundamental idea could be reapplied and adapted in many different contexts.
