Activities related to Microfinance
The Fondation Guilé supported the Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture (SFSA) in developing an innovative micro-insurance product, which helps smallholders in dealing with weather risks. This idea was developed in 2008 by means of a multi-stakeholder process including the insurance sector, meteorological data providers, development agencies and farmers associations.
The Kilimo Salama Plus insurance was launched by UAP Insurance, the major Kenyan communications provider Safaricom and SFSA in February 2011. 20’000 small-scale farmers of the Rift Valley region, 320 km North of Nairobi, have thus been insured against the risk of adverse weather so far.
Ongoing initiative
The Guilé Engagement Team currently coordinates a consortium working on health micro-insurance projects in India.
