*2 years of MIA - Editorial *
Dear Friends,
We are glad to share with you our latest issue of Micro Insurance
/Voices /issues on the occasion of the 2nd anniversary of the Micro
Insurance Academy!
In just two years the MIA has become a leading actor in the field of
microinsurance. We are now known internationally for the unique
combination of action-oriented quality research on micro health
insurance and our broad effort to roll out implementation projects with
local partners at grassroots level in South Asia, with the vision to
reach beyond the sub-continent in the near future.
7 months have passed since our last issue of Voices and as a result we
have a packed edition which will provide you with an overview of our
recent work and progresses.
*
The issue begins with a *message from our Chief Trustee*
<http://tracking.microinsuranceacademy.org/tracking/?u=iddo@mia.org.in&msg=BFFEB13C.B8D7.4DCC.834C.BE74511AD48C.0002.20090821.SCGURFABGHFOKUTK@mia.org.in&url=http://mia.org.in/voices%2Daugust09%232>,
on the occasion of our 2nd anniversary.
*
Our *lead article*
<http://tracking.microinsuranceacademy.org/tracking/?u=iddo@mia.org.in&msg=BFFEB13C.B8D7.4DCC.834C.BE74511AD48C.0002.20090821.SCGURFABGHFOKUTK@mia.org.in&url=http://mia.org.in/voices%2Daugust09%233>
concerns a recently launched EU-funded project in which MIA and
its consortium partners will implement community-based health
insurance and measure its impact. Over the next 5 years, the
project will bring community based health insurance (CBHI) to
dozens of villages across three deprived states in India, and help
the sector as a whole reduce some of the knowledge gaps about the
impact of microinsurance.
*
This adds to a already diverse portfolio of research and
implementation projects in India and Nepal. In this issue, we
bring you *Updates From the Field*, this time from Orissa (India)
<http://tracking.microinsuranceacademy.org/tracking/?u=iddo@mia.org.in&msg=BFFEB13C.B8D7.4DCC.834C.BE74511AD48C.0002.20090821.SCGURFABGHFOKUTK@mia.org.in&url=http://mia.org.in/voices%2Daugust09%239b>
and Nepal

(the German Cooperative Union), and *Grameen Vikas Trust*
<http://tracking.microinsuranceacademy.org/tracking/?u=iddo@mia.org.in&msg=BFFEB13C.B8D7.4DCC.834C.BE74511AD48C.0002.20090821.SCGURFABGHFOKUTK@mia.org.in&url=http://mia.org.in/voices%2Daugust09%235>,
will broaden our involvement by taking the MIA to new locations
and thematic areas. We are excited to share these issues with you
in some detail in this issue of Voices.
*
Sectoral initiatives and Global Advocacy remain high on part of
our agenda, and in this issue we will take you around some of out
recent initiatives with the Microinsurance Network (*Insurance
