» Summary (English)
This report constitutes an inventory of micro insurance schemes operating in Bangladesh, as of October 2003. It provides a range of information on micro insurance schemes available to income-poor and low-income earners.
The report presents twenty organizations that provide thirty-six schemes. Three of these are big or "mega" NGOs, which have nationwide reach through their organizational infrastructure, built on established micro-credit groups across the country. Sixteen schemes are provided by small to medium locality based NGOs; they are not for profit and cover risks such as primary health and hospitalisation. Lastly, one scheme is run by a commercial insurance company; its schemes have nationwide coverage.
