Microinsurance
Microfinance provides undeniable benefits but addressing vulnerable populations, the risk of incident and solidarity bonds easily impact the balance of income and assets of the borrowers, and thereby undermine their commitments to the institution.
In South-West Asia
ADA and its partner Democrance teamed up on a new project to promote access to insurance products for migrant workers, through an innovative technology solution linked to remittances.
This project, aimed at migrant workers from rural areas of India and the Philippines based in the United Arab Emirates, is intended to protect the income and activities of family members back home.
