The microinsurance toolkit currently consists of three complementary parts:

People: Agrotosh Mookerjee, Dermot Grenham, Martha Cecilia Gomez Orozco, Purvi Shah, James Sharpe

Part B: Educational spreadsheets

Description: Build theoretically sound spreadsheets for educational use.

People: Daniel Clarke, Eamon Kelly, Nigel Bowman, Sawsan Eskander, Douglas Lacoss, Lisa Morgan, Jabran Noor, Prince Rajbhandari

For a more complete description of Part B see PartBToolkitNotes011110.pdf.

Part C: Case studies

Description: Collate case studies and any other comments from actual microinsurance work experience. Collate actual models used in microinsurance.

People: Yi-Ding Jiang, Renata De Leers, Abhishek Bose, Vicki Zhang

The type of questions we’ll need to answer through the case studies are:

  1. What’s the socioeconomic context in the region?
  2. What’s the extent of microinsurance in the region?
  3. What type of products are sold by the microinsurance organization and how well are they performing?
  4. To what extent is actuarial practice utilized in the process?
