The Working Group on Microinsurance, initiated by CGAP and comprising representatives from donors, multilateral agencies, NGOs, private insurance companies and other interested parties, was established in 2001 to promote the development of insurance services for the poor through increased stakeholder coordination and information sharing. Currently chaired by the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Working Group is organised into four subgroups: Operations and Donor Guidelines, Demand, Regulation and Dissemination. To share information about microinsurance initiatives, the Working Group issues this quarterly Newsletter. For more information contact Craig Churchill, churchill@ilo.org.
