Microinsurance Innovation Facility: Annual Report 2013

In this annual report, we review the dramatic shift in microinsurance that has taken place over the last 6 years, from the beginning of 2008 to the end of 2013. The ILO’s Microinsurance Innovation Facility has both contributed to these changes, and adapted to them. Part 1 provides an overview of the last 6 years. Parts 2 and 3 respond to the two key questions currently facing the industry: how and whether microinsurance can be viable (Part 2), and offer value to clients (Part 3). Achieving viability and client value are not just questions for individual organizations. In Part 4 we explore the need to develop countries’ microinsurance markets, and outline our plans for the next 5 years. The annexes list our innovation grants and strategic partners (Annex I), knowledge products (Annex II), and capacity-building activities (Annex III). Annex IV gives details of the Facility’s team.
