Location: Online
Organiser: Microinsurance Network
Event type: Event

Microinsurance Network has officially opened the call for proposals for the International Conference on Inclusive Insurance (ICII) 2026, which will take place in Rwanda. The event will once again bring together global leaders, practitioners, policymakers and innovators committed to expanding access to insurance for underserved populations.

Recognised as one of the leading global gatherings dedicated to inclusive insurance, ICII provides a platform to exchange practical solutions, research findings and market innovations that strengthen resilience for low-income households, small businesses and vulnerable communities.

A Global Platform for Inclusive Insurance Innovation

The call for proposals invites contributions from organisations, researchers and practitioners working across areas such as:

• climate and disaster risk protection
• agricultural and health insurance
• digital innovation and insurtech
• consumer protection and trust
• public-private partnerships
• regulation and market development
• gender and youth inclusion through insurance.

The conference aims to showcase actionable models that can help scale protection solutions where they are most needed.

Why Inclusive Insurance Matters

Insurance remains a critical yet often underused pillar of inclusive finance. While savings, credit and payments support economic participation, insurance helps households and entrepreneurs absorb shocks, recover from crises and protect long-term progress.

As climate risks, health emergencies and income volatility continue to affect vulnerable populations globally, inclusive insurance is increasingly recognised as essential to financial resilience.

Rwanda as a Strategic Host

Hosting ICII 2026 in Rwanda reflects the country’s growing reputation as a hub for innovation, financial inclusion and forward-looking policy leadership in Africa. It also highlights the importance of regional ecosystems in advancing practical solutions with global relevance.

Luxembourg Expertise in a Global Dialogue

For Luxembourg’s inclusive finance ecosystem, the conference offers an important opportunity to contribute expertise in impact finance, risk mitigation and responsible investment to broader discussions on resilience and protection.
