On June 4th MicroEnsure was honored to receive the FT Sustainable Banking
Award for Achievement in Basic Needs Financing.

 

MicroEnsure was selected from 165 entries from 117 institutions in 42
countries entered in five award categories. The judges from IFC and CGAP for
the Achievement in Basic Needs Financing category were looking for
innovative programmes with significant social, environmental, and financial
benefits that can be replicated in the developing world.

 

The MicroEnsure submission was based on its pioneering development of
weather index crop insurance in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. MicroEnsure has
developed weather index crop insurance schemes in Malawi, Tanzania, Rwanda,
India, and the Philippines, covering a variety of crops including rice,
maize, and tomatoes from drought, typhoon and excess rain.
