19
6 November 2018 Morning sessions
Pre-conference: Impact Insurance Forum
Pre conference: Research development workshop
Hosted by the ILO´s Impact Insurance Facility
Hosted by IPA and CGIAR
The ILO’s Impact Insurance Facility celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2018. Over the last ten years, the organisation has grown and changed with the industry. This year’s forum was an opportunity to take stock of where we are, what we have learnt over the past ten years and how these lessons will shape coming years of impact insurance.
IPA and CGIAR convened a half-day research development workshop to explore opportunities for innovation with our network of researchers. The goal of the workshop was to generate dialogue between researchers and microinsurance providers to learn how they can work together to design, implement and evaluate innovative, evidence-driven insurance products that have business potential and show promise for social impacts. This was also using the launch of a CGIAR learning platform on agricultural insurance, but they explored research questions for all types of insurance products, including those covering health, funeral and weather events.
