Field Notes
Field Notes has been designed to share our experiences as microinsurance practitioners over the past decade with the wider community.
We have not set out to be academically robust or research orientated - these are observations based on our personal experiences and often reflect lessons that have been learnt the hard way through failure.
In this first edition we take a look at credit life, a product that most people dismiss as offering poor value for the poor, yet it’s the starting point for many fledgling micro insurance programmes.
