February 2017
In 2016, we started eleven innovation projects in sub-Saharan Africa – projects that are pushing the frontier by testing new ways for insurance to live up to its development potential. These projects are supported by a batch of Impact Insurance Fellows who are responsible for assisting their host companies in project implementation and documenting the emerging lessons and experiences. In 2016, we also stepped up our sustainable capacity building activities. Through these efforts, we reached more than 250,000 beneficiaries, shared cutting-edge solutions with 56,000 stakeholders and encouraged business practice improvements in 43 organizations.

In 2015 we put in practice our new impact insurance strategy. We undertook activities to develop inclusive insurance across 14 countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa. Reputable insurance institutes in emerging markets joined us to build capacity of the insurance industry through the joint delivery of a dozen of training sessions last year. We established new partnerships to spur innovation in Africa. Building on our technical leadership with consumer-centric solutions, we focused on catalysing public-private partnerships to bring comprehensive coverage to the masses. Our thriving communities of practice, high-quality publications and interactive knowledge events solidified our position as the largest resource centre on inclusive insurance. |

In 2014, we rebranded our activities to adopt a broader approach to enable insurance to fulfil its potential to achieve social and economic development objectives. How are we achieving this? Through three main initiatives: a) facilitating market development in select countries, b) supporting and learning from innovative insurance approaches, and c) by building the capacity of insurers and other stakeholders to be more impactful. As you will see, our Annual Report 2014 shows that we are putting into practice the knowledge we've accumulated over the past six years. |

It also outlines the Facility’s new 5-year (2014-2018) Quality at Scale programme that aims to reduce the vulnerability of an additional 100 million low-income persons |
