The Common Stake in Index Insurance Certification: How Do Quality Standards Help You?
The current lack of consistent quality control makes investment in agricultural insurance a high risk, high reward endeavor. This plenary session will examine the rationale for implementing an independent quality certification process for index insurance. The session will focus on the “Common Stake” argument highlighting why the various stakeholder groups involved in funding, implementing, or evaluating index insurance programs might benefit from quality index insurance certification (QUIIC). Representatives from international donor organizations, government, insurance regulators, and the private insurance sector will candidly discuss how they interpret, and could apply, this QUIIC certification solution in their own contexts.
