iii-lab 1st National Workshop Senegal

Event report:

On 14-15 February, the first national workshop of the 4th iii-lab took place in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. The workshop was opened with remarks by Mr Mamadou Deme, Director of Insurance at the Ministry of Finance and Budget of Senegal, and Mr Rogier Hekking, Deputy Ambassador of the Netherlands.

The two days were filled with both concentrated discussion and personal exchanges within the national multi-stakeholder team, consisting of representatives from ministries, including the insurance regulator, brokers, industry, consumer associations, civil society, and international organisations.

The participants not only brought their diverse institutional backgrounds and knowledge to the table, but shared their unique perspective on the impact of climate change and the various ways inclusive insurance can protect the most vulnerable segments of the population. As one of the lab participants put it, “In 10 years, maybe we can say that we were an important part of creating the protection that everyone can have in Senegal today.”

To address the impact of climate change in Senegal, the group decided on an initial focus on the vulnerable segments of the population such as smallholder farmers, fisherfolk, and garbage collectors. They also chose to include a gender focus and examine how insurance regulation can support innovative and inclusive solutions to increasing resilience. Following the workshop, the national team will split into smaller working groups to map the stakeholder landscape and use interviews to further define the scope of their project.

The 4th iii-lab is a 12-month journey where teams from Armenia, Nepal and Senegal, consisting of key stakeholders from the insurance sector, are collaborating on innovative insurance solutions to increase resilience against the impact of climate change.
