Inclusive Insurance Training

Event report:

The Inclusive Insurance Training programme was organised by A2ii in partnership with the Toronto Centre, AITRI, and IAIS. The main sessions took place over 4 days from 7-16 November 2023. There were 24 supervisors from 14 jurisdictions in Asia-Pacific participating in interactive case studies and sharing their experiences and ideas on inclusive insurance.

Lawrie Savage was the program me leader, and we welcomed special guests Manoj Pandey, A2ii, for an interactive session on gender, Atty. Gideon Joseph Operiano, Insurance Commission of the Philippines, on their experience with microinsurance, Pujan Dhungel Adhikari, Nepal Insurance Authority, on their experience with index insurance, and Tyson Grootjans, Reserve Bank of New Zealand, on the Central Bank Network for Indigenous Inclusion.

At the end of the training, participants completed and presented action plans to address an issue in their jurisdiction. Their priorities included increasing access to insurance products for low-income or underserved populations, inclusive insurance regulatory frameworks, insurance education and awareness, internal capacity building programmes, data collection on women’s access to insurance, mobile insurance, index insurance, and addressing disaster and climate risks.
