the PROTECTION GAP by designing and implementing index-based inclusive insurance to cover the underserved population against natural disasters, exacerbated by climate change About MiCRO
THE PROBLEM
Natural disasters, especially those related to climate change, are more frequent and severe. Despite this fact, the protection gap, understood as the difference between insured losses and total economic losses, remains large. In Latin America alone, this gap is estimated to reach 84% and is even greater in the vulnerable and underserved populations.
OUR SOLUTION
MiCRO develops index-based insurance products, using cutting edge technology, facilitating financial inclusion to excluded segments and improving their resilience to catastrophes. To do this, MiCRO allocates its human and technical capabilities, including its calculation platform, to ascertain the occurrence of natural disasters and to ensure payments are made to affected populations.
OUR PARTNERS
MiCRO works closely with local partners such as insurers, microfinance institutions, banks and utilities, among others, who pursue the same goal of helping to close the protection gap.
