The Global Index Insurance Facility (GIIF) is a dedicated World Bank Group’s program that facilitates access to finance for smallholder farmers, micro-entrepreneurs, and microfinance institutions through the provisions of catastrophic risk transfer solutions and index-based insurance in developing countries. Funded by the European Union/ACP, the governments of Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands, GIIF has facilitated more than 4.6 million contracts, with $730 million in sums insured, covering approximately 23 million people, primarily in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean.
Sankalp Forum was initiated in India in 2009 by Intellecap, part of the Aavishkaar-Intellecap Group, to create a thriving ecosystem for business-led inclusive development. Over the past 9 years, Sankalp has built one of the world’s largest impact enterprise focused platforms that has showcased and discovered 1500+ entrepreneurs, through 18+ editions and has connected them to 300+ investors. Sankalp has enabled enterprises and entrepreneurs and has helped raise over USD 240 million in funding. Sankalp Forum engages with Governments, Corporations, influential platforms like the G8 and G20, media and civil society to drive a paradigm shift in inclusive development approaches.
To leverage innovative solutions, GIIF is organizing an agriculture Insuretech innovation challenge/competition as a part of an Insuretech fair, to be hosted in Mumbai, India in July 2019.
