Summary: | This paper proposes and illustrates a
methodology to assess the economic cost of the sovereign
risk finance instruments available to the Government of
Ethiopia and its development partners for financing the
shock-responsive scalability component of the Productive
Safety Net Programme. The methodology involves: (i)
specifying rules for when additional expenditures would be
triggered in each woreda; (ii) specifying alternative risk
finance strategies; and (iii) analyzing the costs of each
risk financing strategy, including sensitivity and scenario
testing of the results. The methodology is applied to a
hypothetical set of rules for drought-responsive
scalability, and a range of potential risk finance strategies. |
