ILO Microinsurance Innovation Facility calls for grant proposals

Microfinance Focus, Dec. 10, 2009: The ILO’s Microinsurance Innovation Facility launches a new call for grant proposals to encourage insurance providers to experiment with new products and develop strategic partnerships that will bring effective and affordable products to working poor in developing countries.

This call has a special emphasis on health microinsurance, but also welcomes applications for projects focusing on high-impact products and innovative distribution channels. Micro-insurers that have the potential to provide better insurance products to many low-income people but need their capacity to be to strengthened can also receive support. The deadline for submission is 2 March 2010.

Application forms and guidelines are available on the Facility’s website: www.ilo.org/microinsurance
