TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte, Aug. 15 (PIA) – In its recognition of the need to provide appropriate risk protection to the informal and low-income sectors, the Insurance Commission (IC) together with the Department of Finance (DOF) is currently implementing various initiatives on Microinsurance.
These initiatives are being supported by some microinsurance projects which are under the Asian Development Bank-Japan Fund for Proverty Reduction which is the Developing Microinsurance Project, and the German International Cooperative which is the Microinsurance Innovations Program for Social Security.
To strongly push for a wide acceptance of Microinsurance among the informal and low income sectors, a microinsurance literacy campaign will be conducted, and part of that campaign is the conduct of a three-day Training on Microinsurance Advocacy and half-day Orientation Seminars on Microinsurance in Tacloban City.
The Training on Microinsurance Advocacy, which only has 40 slots, will be conducted on September 19-21, 2011, while the Microinsurance Orientation Seminar for local government units and regional government personnel will be held on September 22, 2011. Both activities will be held at the Leyte Park Hotel, Magsaysay, Blvd., Tacloban City.
The Training on Microinsurance Advocacy aims to develop advocate-partners in promoting microinsurance among key stakeholders while the Orientation Seminars shall provide basic information on the current initiatives on microinsurance and the roles of government, the private sector and development partners in promoting microinsurance.
