Risk Sharing for Low-Income Clients: Innovative Insurance and Financial Protection Models Training Course

Introduction

Low-income communities often face disproportionate risks without access to adequate financial protection tools. Traditional insurance models are often unaffordable or inaccessible, leaving millions vulnerable to health emergencies, crop failures, and unexpected financial shocks. Risk-sharing mechanisms designed specifically for low-income clients can create inclusive, sustainable, and affordable solutions that empower households and small businesses to build resilience and financial security.

This 10-day training course explores the principles, frameworks, and innovative approaches to risk-sharing for low-income clients. It equips participants with practical skills to design, implement, and manage inclusive financial protection systems through microinsurance, community-based schemes, cooperatives, and digital innovations. By combining theory with case studies and global best practices, this program helps stakeholders develop scalable solutions that reduce vulnerability and promote inclusive growth.
