[Microinsurancefocus] Global Survey on Insurance Education

[Dr. Iddo Dror]

Dear colleagues,
 
Insufficient education about how insurance works and what its benefits 
can be to the insured are major obstacles to the expansion of 
microinsurance.  Quality educational materials on microinsurance - 
particularly when coordinated in an effort to avoid duplication and 
encourages sharing of "best practice" -  holds great potential to many 
stakeholders in the microinsurance sector.
 
The recently formed Insurance Education Working Group of the Micro 
Insurance Network (the WG) has set out to promote microinsurance through 
taking stock of educational materials already developed, identifying and 
documenting best practice, encouraging the sharing of resources across 
the microinsurance community. 
 
As part of this, the WG, in collaboration with the Microinsurance 
Innovation Facility of the ILO, has prepared a *_Global Survey on 
Insurance Education. 
<http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=qYKuCNauPzzQjmwVQf6MEw_3d_3d>_* This 
survey aims to make it easier to access knowledge about insurance 
education initiatives globally, and to help promote providers of 
services in this (largely under-served) area.
 
We hope that the responses will enable the creation of a "virtual 
library" with information on insurance education experiences through 
which organizations which would like to conduct insurance education 
programs can choose effective tools, methodologies, or contact a 
professional for advice.
