For the final Expert Forum of 2019, our panel of experienced professionals revisited the 2014 Microinsurance Learning and Knowledge (MILK) Project which concluded: “Microinsurance is a business of doing good, and if done well, it is also good for the company’s bottom line.”

The challenges of climate change and the opportunities for financial inclusion, and particularly insurance, came under the spotlight at the recent European Microfinance Week, organised annually by the European Microfinance Platform (e-MFP), culminating in the European Microfinance Award.

One of the highlights of this year’s International Conference on Inclusive Insurance was undoubtedly the launch of the Landscape of Microinsurance in Africa: focus on selected countries - a study commissioned by the MiN and supported by the Government of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Aid & Development, Munich Re Foundation, the Center for the Economic Analysis of Risk (CEAR) at Georgia State University and AXA.
