A programme dubbed micro and inclusive insurance clinic to educate traders and artisans in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) on the benefits of insurance has been launched in Accra.
It is an initiative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Insurance and Risk Finance Facility (IRFF), National Insurance Commission (NIC) and the Insurance Awareness Coordinators' Group.
It formed part of the Inclusive Insurance Certification Programme by the UNDP/ IRFF programme which is being done in collaboration with the Ghana Insurance College with the support from the NIC with the aim to build the required capacities and promote awareness of inclusive insurance across the country.
Micro and inclusive insurance provides tailored products designed specifically for low-income earners, giving them access to coverage in case of unforeseen events and is targeted at groups like market women, artisans, and food vendors.
