Abstract
This paper provides a detailed picture of the landscape of microinsurance activities in Africa. It is based on a study that was conducted in 2009 (using 2008 year-end data) by the International Labour Organization’s Microinsurance Innovation Facility and the MicroInsurance Centre in collaboration with the
African Insurance Organization, the Fédération des Sociétés d’Assurances de Droit National Africaines, the ILO’s STEP Programme and the Concertation, an association of health mutual stakeholders in Africa.
