Rwanda: Insurance to Boost Agricultural Sector

By Steve Rukundo of Focus Media (Kigali)

"During a workshop which saw the participation of representatives from ministries, insurance companies, micro-finance institutions (MFI), banks and the donor community, the content of the strategy was discussed in detail, and the strategy validated. The national rural insurance strategy is based on the findings of the field visits and discussions with the stakeholders.

The aim of this strategy is to provide insights, analytical opportunities and a framework for developing rural insurance services, particularly in the areas of micro-insurance, in stimulating the Rwandan economy. and this in a way so that it can be implemented by insurance companies, MFI, cooperatives and other organizations independently or in the form of support and partnership."
