Insurance Programme

Enterprise Development: Insurance

The objective of the UNCTAD Insurance Programme is to assist developing countries and countries with economies in transition to set up insurance capacity, competitive and well-regulated insurance markets and human resources development.

The programme accomplishes these objectives through policy analysis, consensus-building, the provision of targeted policy advice, and technical assistance.

The programme focuses its work on the following areas:

  • Capacity building for the management of risks
  • Catastrophe insurance risk coverage
  • Insurance for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs)
  • International cooperation and negotiations on trade in insurance, insurance legislation and prudential regulation and supervision
  • Insurance education and training
