    Microinsurance has been making great progress in recent years. New markets are being explored, and new products and operational strategies are being introduced. A number of governments have started developing a regulatory framework to enable the development of innovative solutions. As more and more stakeholders see the potential that microinsurance holds for both business and development, the importance of a detailed and updated overview of the status quo of microinsurance activities increases.

    In 2006, first results from the ground-breaking  study "The Landscape of Microinsurance in the World's 100 Poorest Countries" were published followed by a series of landscape studies. The Munich Re Foundation was the main driver of the studies from 2012 until 2018. In 2023, the Munich Re Foundation joined a group of sponsors again to support the Landscape of Microinsurance program which is hosted by the Microinsurance Network.
