Regional Learning Sessions: Inclusive Insurance Business Models for Africa
The participants in Kigali discussed inclusive insurance business models serving low-income market segments in Africa.
As an introduction to the topic, Munich Re gave an overview of microinsurance in Africa; the A2ii presented on inclusive insurance regulatory frameworks in Sub-Saharan Africa, and Access to Finance Rwanda provided insights into the microinsurance market in Rwanda.
The A2ii moderated a panel on inclusive insurance regulation where insurance supervisors from Kenya and Zimbabwe shared their experiences around supporting the development of inclusive insurance markets. Cenfri presented an overview of different regulatory approaches to supporting responsible innovation.
The event was organised and hosted by Access to Finance Rwanda, Munich Re Foundation and Rwanda Insurers Association (ASSAR) with support from ILO’s Impact Insurance Facility, Centre for Financial Regulation and Inclusion (Cenfri) and Financial Sector Deepening Africa (FSDA), Microinsurance Network and Access to Insurance Initiative (A2ii).
Around 80 representatives from the insurance industry, insurance supervisors and development agencies from Eastern and Southern Africa and further afield gathered in Kigali.
