Increasing the Resiliency of Vulnerable Populations through Index-Insurance Products

Webinar

This webinar is part of a series of learning events hosted by The SEEP Network's Disaster Risk Reduction Program. It aims to focus on the use of index insurance programs as an innovative tool for building resiliency. Also known as parametric insurance, these programs enable governments, microfinance institutions and other organizations pooling risks of a vulnerable population to transfer some of their natural catastrophe exposure to the international insurance and capital markets. This webinar will explore index insurance approaches used by MiCRO and Catholic Relief Services, in partnership with public and private sector partners, to promote the use of micro insurance products that have the ability to increase the resiliency of low income populations.
