Hi,
Does anyone have creative ideas on explaining financial services for poor communities? If so, you might be interested in knowing that the Micro Insurance Academy (MIA) announces a prize-bearing innovation contest on explaining micro health insurance.
The Micro Insurance Academy (MIA) www.microinsuranceacademy.org is a New Delhi-based Charitable Trust (non-profit) dedicated to evidence-based studies, training and advisory services for micro insurance units serving the poor.
Community-based micro insurance units represent the highest hope for the extension of insurance coverage among the uninsured poor. However, micro insurance schemes need help in customizing their insurance to the risks and conditions they face, at affordable premiums, through a process that they trust. The MIA offers innovative, context-specific solutions to those needs, delivered through its network of affiliated training institutes.
As (micro) health insurance is difficult to explain, the MIA invites proposals for innovative, intuitive and original ideas to explain the value proposition of health insurance for poor people and grassroots groups. Proposals could include good stories, anecdotes, games, simulations, picture-stories, scripts for video clips or short movies and the like, to explain insurance to persons with no prior insurance experience.
