#ICII2026 #InsuranceInclusion

The International Conference on Inclusive Insurance #ICII2026 closed today in Kigali.

Client centricity was at the heart of the discussions, with a strong focus on designing insurance products that respond to the real needs of people and businesses.

In her closing remarks, Hon. Mutesi Linda Rusagara, Minister of State for Public Investments and Resource Mobilization at @RwandaFinance, said inclusive insurance should be seen as an integral part of #Rwanda’s broader economic development and resilience agenda.

She underscored that Rwanda remains committed to working with the insurance industry and development partners to expand meaningful insurance protection, strengthen resilience, and contribute to the country’s broader economic development ambitions.

Yesterday, #ICII2026 opened with a clear message: expanding access to insurance alone will not close the protection gap.

It will take strong partnerships, sound evidence, and concrete action to ensure that insurance delivers real, affordable value to the people and businesses most exposed to risk.

Watch the highlights from the opening ceremony.
