The study was directed by the following specific objectives: (i) to examine the impact of the result-based approach on the performance of the National Agriculture Insurance Scheme, and (ii) to analyze the effect of the participatory approach on the performance of the scheme, and (iii) to investigate the role of the reflexive approach in enhancing the program’s outcomes. The theoretical framework drew on decision-making theory, agricultural insurance theory, and contingency theory. The target group for this study comprises roughly 1,463 people. From this group, a stratified sampling technique was been employed to select 313 respondents. Information for the research obtained via questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis, including monthly district reports. The instruments were pilot-tested, resulting in a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.94, which confirms strong reliability. Data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics, specifically correlation and regression at a 0.05 significance level, with the assistance of SPSS Version 28.
