Descripción
CCFs are a risk protection and financial transfer mechanism that provide a form of agriculture risk insurance for those vulnerable households who do not have access to conventional financing systems. The CCFs resources are managed by producers’ associations with the purpose of funding income-generating activities and providing assistance to its members in case of unexpected extreme events, such as drought, hurricanes, floods, or other extreme events.
