Knowledge Partners
GIIF collaborates with the ILO’s Impact Insurance Facility to strengthen knowledge dissemination related activities. The collaboration aims at improving the delivery of index insurance to farmers and their families as well as businesses, through the extraction, dissemination and promotion of lessons mainly from GIIF implementing partners and to strengthen microinsurance markets in countries that have a strong index insurance potential. This knowledge partnership offers knowledge sharing and technical training to local stakeholders by focusing on global knowledge management and communications functions; the communication among practitioners through the Index Insurance Community of Practice (CoP); the development of publications, emerging insights, webinars open to public and CoP members; and stakeholder trainings in select country locations for market development.
