| Learning from
insuring the poor: Microinsurance has emerged over the last decade on a
global scale. First seen as a poverty alleviation strategy, it was
embraced by donors and NGOs as a compliment to the burgeoning micro
credit field. More recently commercial insurers and reinsurers have been
more significantly involved. Many see microinsurance as more than a corporate social responsibility effort but rather as an extraordinary business opportunity to access a virtually untapped market of 3 billion people. Interesting and innovative distribution, product design and technology based solutions have been undertaken to take on the challenge of providing value to the poor at a price they can afford- while allowing for a sustainable business model. Some experts think that microinsurance is a field that will grow and become a permanent fixture on the industry landscape. They also believe that there are lessons learned in insuring the poor that are valuable to those working in more traditional environments. Join Michael McCord, President of the MicroInsurance Centre and Rick Koven, an independent consultant working with the Centre, as they provide an understanding of the market and its implications for the emerging microinsurance opportunity. |
