Rural insurance strategy out

A strategy to increase rural sector access to financial services has been drafted. The national rural insurance strategy was drafted by the Financial Sector Development Secretariat with the help of Ministry of Agriculture. “After assessing the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategic (EDPRS) and Vision 2020, we discovered that the rural community is excluded from access to financial services like credit and insurance,” said François Ngarambe, the Executive Secretary, Financial Sector Development Programme in the ministry of Finance and Planning.
