Program Overview:

Across many low-income and developing economies, the protection gap remains stubbornly wide. Households face health shocks, funeral expenses, agricultural losses and climate risks with little or no formal cover. Informal risk-sharing schemes often help, but they can fail when shocks strike entire communities or when claims require significant cash upfront. Traditional insurance playbooks - complex products, heavy paperwork, and urban-centric distribution - struggle to reach these customers at an acceptable cost.

This highly rated Inclusive Insurance Masterclass taking place 25-28 November 2025 in Singapore translates global experience into practical, market-ready approaches. Over four days, you will build a shared diagnosis of why penetration stalls; learn how industry, government, regulators and communities can collaborate; and design simple, high-trust products with proportionate pricing and technology that works in low-connectivity settings. You’ll leave with a tested blueprint, ready-to-use templates and a Minimum Viable Inclusive Insurance (MVII) pack you can pilot on day one.

At this masterclass, you will be equipped with practical insights and case studies to help you develop and scale inclusive insurance, boost revenue and improve financial resillience in underserved communiites and markets!    

10 Reasons Why You Should Attend:

• Move from pilots to scale: Build a whole-of-society game plan that aligns insurers, MFIs/SACCOs, MNOs/fintechs, retailers, community groups and regulators

• Build trust and client value: Co-design community-first claims and literacy modules that make insurance understandable, usable and worth renewing
   
• Choose pragmatic technology: Design low-friction, auditable journeys using USSD/IVR, offline-first agent tools and simple APIs where bandwidth is scarce
   
• Gain insights and best practices on how you can innovate, develop, price and scale up inclusive insurance
   
• Gain knowledge on how to make inclusive insurance happen and be profitable for across emerging and mature markets - Best Practice Product Design, Marketing & Distribution
   
• Digitalization - Key Implications for Inclusive Insurance
   
• Overcoming barriers to driving inclusivity in insurace
   
• Future of Inclusive Insurance - How can you adapt and unlocking the future of inclusive insurance
   
• Case Studies & Project Excersise - Immerse yourself in a series of assignments and case studies to be able to develop and sell inclusive insurance across all economies

More Key Learning Outcomes!

1. Diagnose the protection gap with a practical market toolkit and the three-legged-stool model (income, regulation, demographics).

2. Translate informal risk practices into respectful, complementary product and claims designs.

3. Build public–private–community partnerships with aligned incentives, SLAs and data-sharing agreements.

4. Select distribution models that scale via a structured scoring matrix (MFIs/SACCOs, MNOs, agency banking, retail/e-commerce, employer/associations).

5. Design simple product archetypes for irregular incomes; craft embedded touchpoints and no-surprises claims.

6. Price proportionately with limited data: set loss-ratio corridors, expense caps, controls, and leverage reinsurance for covariate risk.

7. Make technology choices that fit low-connectivity contexts and protect customer data and consent.

8. Apply gender/youth/disability lenses and climate adaptation considerations to product and channel design.

9. Build a realistic implementation roadmap with governance, risk and compliance controls, and an M&E/impact framework.

10. Produce and pitch a fully specified MVII pack ready for pilot approval.
