About the Impact Insurance Facility

Uninsured risk has devastating consequences on future generations and constraints their entrepreneurial potential. However, in many developing countries, the insurance industry is not yet fulfilling its potential.

The ILO’s Impact Insurance Facility works to enable the insurance sector, governments, and their partners to embrace impact insurance to reduce households’ vulnerability, promote stronger enterprises and facilitate better public policies.
