For the last decade, Cenfri has been exploring the role of the financial sector, and specifically insurance, as a tool for sustainable development. We talked to Doubell Chamberlain, Cenfri’s Managing Director and Chair of the MiN Board, about his vision for an inclusive, multi-stakeholder insurance industry that supports poverty relief and economic development.

MiN: Looking back over the past decade, what do you think are the MiN’s biggest achievements?

FSD Uganda have launched the Microinsurance Challenge Fund (MCF), aimed at increasing the availability and usage of appropriate insurance solutions to the underserved in Uganda. The MCF is a response to nudge the market towards more innovative solutions to address the mismatch between the demand and supply of inclusive insurance services.

Cenfri have partnered with FSD Uganda to provide technical support and guidance on the design and delivery of the challenge fund.
