1 Micro Insurance in Malawi Supply Side 1
2 Perspectives from MASM Andrew Ngomwa, 2
3 Background Population of Malawi 16 million (July 2012 est.) Levels of Employment 97% of the population (This figure includes those involved in subsistence farming) 3
4 Background Rate of Urbanisation urban population: 20% of total population (2010) Lives Covered Under Health Insurance Less than 500,000 lives (Data includes figures from both open and closed schemes) 4
5 Background Out of Pocket Medical Expenditure Private sector health care financing accounts for 27 percent of the total health expenditure Out of Pocket expenditure averages 34% of the private health expenditure (or 12% of total health expenditure). At what price will Malawian households be willing to convert their out-of-pocket health expenditures into pre-paid health expenditure? Considering that 97% were willing to pay for health insurance. (Winford Masanjala & Innocent Phiri) 5
6 What is MASM s Thinking Towards The Selling of Insurance To The Informal Economy? MASM S position toward the informal economy - The Informal Economic sector poses great potential for growth. MASM is greatly interested in tapping into this potential, hence the development of Mlimi Umoyo products. 6
7 Challenges Faced Lack of healthcare facilities in rural areas (distribution channels). Challenges in accessing payment channels. Lack of appreciation for health insurance. The handout syndrome. Lack of civic education on insurance products. Product development (pricing). 7
8 Attempts to Collaborate With Other Players Worked with AHL to introduce Mlimi Umoyo. Unsuccessfully tried to introduce a product with OIBM. Are currently in talks with TNM. 8
9 Possible Partnerships Micro finance institutions marketing & payment solutions. The government infrastructure development i.e. roads, electricity, water, Civic education. The Private sector - infrastructure development i.e. private clinics in rural areas, Civic education. Telecommunications & Banking industry payment solutions. 9

13 Objective of presentation To share supply side experiences in implementing index based weather insurance. 13
14 STATISTICS on selected Socio-Economic indicators Agriculture contributes 37.8 % to GDP Forex - (90%) 85% of the population live in rural and agriculture is their main livelihood Access to credit < 5% 19% of the population is Banked (FINSCOPE 2008) About 3% of the population is insured. 14
15 Major challenges - farmers in Malawi Weather -drought -flood Market -prices Farmer Inputs/ Finance Extension Services/ Technical Expertise 15
16 Weather Related Risks Weather is one of the biggest peril Weather risk has the most significant impact on the incomes of agricultural producers Weather related risks negatively impact individual house holds and local economy 16
17 Agriculture Policy Investment Framework - ASWAp ASWAp FOOD SECURITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT Technology Generation and Dissemination GENDER SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL LAND AND WATER MANAGEMENT COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURE, AGRPROCESSING AND MARKET DEVELOPMENT Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building HIV/AIDS 17
18 Weather index Insurance: Pilot Program Started in 2005 with World Bank support. Participating institutions were NASFAM, MRFC, Insurance Association of Malawi. Started with groundnuts later included tobacco. Insurance sold as a package with a loan. Up to 4,500 farmers have benefited from the program. OIBM and MRFC provided loans to farmers for purchase of higher-yielding seed if the farmers bought weather insurance as part of the loan package. Farmers were compelled to form farmer clubs and the loans were given to the clubs. These loans stipulated that the bank will be the first beneficiary if there is a payout from the insurance. 18
19 Weather Index Insurance: Pilot Program If there was a payout from the insurance company in the event of a drought, this would go directly to the bank (OIBM, MRFC) to pay down the farmers loan liability. Conversely, if there was no drought, farmers would pay the loan in full to the bank. 19
20 Supply Side Actors Government Central Bank Justice Meteorology Dept etc Financial Institutions Insurance Companies Banks Development Partners 20
21 Supply Side Issues Infrastructure Issue The distribution of the weather stations is not strategic to credit demand Limited number of automated weather stations limiting the amount of loans available for farmers 21
22 Supply Side Issues Capacity Issue Lack of local expertise to design and price the contracts Statistics Lack of complete historical weather data limiting the expansion of the program Institutional Issues Regulatory Issues 22
23 Lessons The country has the required institutions to run a weather risk insurance program. However the roles and functions of each of player in such a program must be clearly spelt out and followed. Farmers that participated liked the scheme,. The main attraction to the program was that it facilitated the access to farm inputs loans. More capacity building for both farmers and field staff engaged in implementation of such a project is required, that way they can understand the objectives and general management of the program. The program has worked well with organized marketing system i.e. Groundnuts; NASFAM, Tobacco ; Auction Market. The output market should be clearly identified before the start of the program 23
24 Challenges Disparate rainfall patterns (differences in micro climatic conditions) No proper demarcation for the insurance program areas included (working on estimated radius of weather station) High premiums 24
25 Conclusion The program showed that it can increase access to and reduce the cost of agricultural credit to smallholder farmers. There is need for more research to answer the following questions; Who should be targeted by the product. Which regions and crops would best be covered. Can product be sold as stand alone. What are the banks lending expansion plans. How much premiums are banks/farmers willing to pay for the product. Lessons from other countries who have implemented similar program. 25
