Dear Delegate,
Micro Insurance is a fast-growing sector providing tools for risk protection of
low income earners. It has been known to be an answer to Africa’s poverty
stricken situation in predominantly rural areas. More than 70 per cent of the
continent’s poor people live in rural areas and depend on agriculture for food
and livelihood. With Micro Insurance products catering for low income earners,
it has been portrayed as possibly the best way to assist Africa. Though on paper
it is so, Micro Insurance as an insurance extension comes with many challenges.
The definition of Micro Insurance is exactly the same as one might use for
regular insurance except for the clearly prescribed target market. This very
definition is one of the challenges that Insurers face when embarking on the
Micro Insurance journey. Some of the challenges include:
• Pricing for Micro Insurance
• Accessibility to the products
• Successfully penetrating the market
• Designing & Implementing the policies
These challenges mentioned here are only a drop in the ocean compared to the
real issues that Micro Insurance faces.
Our esteemed speakers, Tughral Turab Ali, Head of Africa
(MICROENSURE), Mark Akanko Achaw, Financial Systems Developer
Akanko Finacial Services, Tawanda Chatikobo Digital Manager (NEDBANK), and
many more, are eager to share with you their success (and failures) and strategies they have implemented to remain (and
become) dominant in a competitive environment.
Don’t miss this opportunity, book now!

Workshop Day – 26 February 2016
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
The Back – End Engine of Digital Transformation
Digital is the term we use to describe the ground-breaking array of “SMAC” (Social, Mobile, Analytics, and Cloud) developments in
customer expectation, behaviour and interaction, which are rapidly reshaping the rules of business. Far from just being another
channel, the impact of digital is transforming what customers expect, creating fresh opportunities to get closer to the customer and
moving insurance from a price to a value consideration. Digital transformation offers insurers in mature markets the opportunity to
increase their profits by up to 100 percent according to recent Accenture research into the levers and opportunities for generating
value that have emerged for high performance digital insurers.
Insurers need to pay attention to developing a new digital culture and supporting organization. Obvious drivers will be the
engagement by top management in pushing the digital agenda, and the launch of a comprehensive program of change management
to adapt the organizational structures and to ensure that the company gets the right skills with the right tools. Digital transformation
is usually associated with flashy new mobile apps and hype about social media. However, none of this will be possible without a new
generation back-end engine.
