Developing the Microinsurance Sector in Sri Lanka

Abstract

This brief explores the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Technical Assistance (TA) to Sri Lanka for Microinsurance Sector Development. The TA is expected to improve risk mitigation and reduce the vulnerability of the poor and low-income households in Sri Lanka by facilitating access to affordable life and general insurance products. It is primarily focused on conflict- and tsunami-affected areas to support the reconstruction of affected people.
