The objectives of this project were to map the experience in a sample of five developing countries (Colombia, India, the Philippines, South Africa and Uganda) where microinsurance products have evolved and to consider the influence that policy, regulation and supervision on the development of these markets. From this evidence base, cross-country lessons were extracted that seek to offer guidance to policymakers, regulators and supervisors who are looking to support the development of microinsurance in their jurisdiction. It must be emphasized that these findings do not provide an easy recipe for developing microinsurance but only identifies some of the key issues that need to be considered. In fact, the findings emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach informed by and tailored to domestic conditions and adjusted continuously as the environment evolves.

These are the projects: "Building Peace and Security Research in Eastern Africa," funded by the Peace, Conflict and Development Program (PCD), and two phases of an awards project supporting "Doctoral Research Awardees and PhD Fellows in Peace, Conflict, Security and Development" funded by the Fellowships and Awards (F&A) Program. The two programs collaborated to synergize their activities towards a mutual goal of supporting UPEACE undertaking to build and enhance research capacity for peace and security in Africa...
