Date of Release:

The ILO’s Impact Insurance Facility celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2018. We are proud of our decade-long journey to enable the insurance sector, governments and their partners to reduce households’ vulnerability, promote stronger enterprises and facilitate better public policies. Join us as we take stock of where we are, what we’ve learnt and how we plan to continue forward. Through the year, we shared lessons and experiences from the past, examine the current trends, and present ideas for the future.
