     Summary

This book has been prepared under the auspices of the Microinsurance Working Group of the Consultative Group to Assist the Poorest (CGAP). Initiated by the ILO at the 2000 CGAP meeting in Edinburgh, the Working Group includes donors, insurers and other parties interested in coordinating donor activities as they pertain to the development and proliferation of insurance services for low-income households in developing countries. As one of the Working Group’s research activities, this book is the culmination of a four-year process to understand good and bad practices in providing insurance to the poor.
