The objectives of this project were to map the experience in a sample of five developing countries (Colombia, India, the Philippines, South Africa and Uganda) where microinsurance products have evolved and to consider the influence that policy, regulation and supervision have had on the development of these markets. This evidence was used to extract crosscountry lessons that seek to offer guidance to policymakers, regulators and supervisors who are looking to support the development of microinsurance in their jurisdiction. It must be emphasised that these findings do not provide an easy recipe for developing microinsurance but only identify some of the key issues that need to be considered. In fact, the findings emphasise the need for a comprehensive approach that is informed by, and tailored to, domestic conditions and adjusted continuously as the environment evolves.2 digital filesapplication/pdfenMICROINSURANCEMICROFINANCEPOVERTYSTATE INTERVENTIONINSURANCE COMPANIESHEALTH LEGISLATIONCOLOMBIAINDIAPHILIPPINESSOUTH AFRICAUGANDACase Study
