We joined BRS for its 17th Microfinance lunch break, which focused on the challenging work of microinsurance and microfinance for development in emerging markets 

Most countries in sub-Saharan Africa are unable to grow insurance markets beyond group or bundled microinsurance products. This presentation looks at why this is the case and how it undermines the contribution of insurance markets for households, businesses and governments. It explores how the latest wave of technological innovation is helping to overcome this challenge and how it can be best applied to support the voluntary take-up of microinsurance products.
