The Landscape Studies and the data they generate provide a unique benchmark for tracking the uptake of inclusive insurance and microinsurance by low-income people around the world. Access to data generates market knowledge and development, furthers best practice and leads to better products and services.
To support the development of the sector, viable and accessible data is needed. The Landscape Studies address this need by supporting regional studies and an online database. The 2021 Landscape of Microinsurance Study will cover at least 30 countries in Africa, Emerging Asia and Latin America (including the Caribbean).
