Accident Insurance
| |
| Study after study has been released that, in the end, all reach the same conclusion: the younger you are, the more likely it is that you will die as a result of an accident over any other cause. Injuries have proven to be the number one cause of death for Canadians up to the age of 44, as well as the fourth leading cause of death for Canadians of all ages. The experts also claim that people between the ages of 25 and 55 are twice more likely to become disabled from an accident than die. That is where the importance of having personal accident insurance comes in. |

2.0 The economic context: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
| |
| Tanzania has a population of just over 37 million, a GDP of US$22 billion, and
GDP per capita of US$610.6 An estimated 51 per cent of the population lives below the
poverty line. Eighty per cent of the country’s poor population live in rural areas,
depending on subsistence agriculture and unable to participate in broader markets. Poor
roads, exorbitantly expensive utilities and prohibitive policies have compounded this
problem, significantly impeding the growth of the economy.7 Agriculture, the mainstay
of the economy, is almost 50 per cent of GDP, and small-scale peasant farmers, who
make up 70 per cent of the population, carry out over 80 per cent of agricultural
activities. About 30 per cent of the population over 15 years of age is illiterate (UDEC,
2002). |

1.0 Introduction: Microfinance in Africa - Experience and Lessons from Selected African Countries
| |
| Small enterprises and most of the poor population in sub-Saharan Africa have very limited
access to deposit and credit facilities and other financial services provided by formal
financial institutions. For example, in Ghana and Tanzania, only about 5–6 percent of the
population has access to the banking sector. This lack of access to financial services from the
formal financial system is quite striking, when one considers that in many African countries
the poor represent the largest share of the population and that the informal sector is an
important part of the economy. |

Proper Regulation Is Crucial to Ensure Welfare Gains
| |
| The effects of privatisation on living conditions of the
population, and, in particular, on improved access and
quality, are mixed and depend on the regulatory framework
in place and the capacity of the state to co-operate with
the private sector. In particular, the impact of privatisation
policies on the welfare of the population and ultimately on
the poor requires: |

African Countries Focus on Microfinance: Twelve African Nations Engaged in the International Year of Microcredit to Date
| |
| Half of the population in Africa lives on less than one dollar a day. More than half the population has no access to safe drinking water. More than two million infants die annually before reaching their first birthday.[1] Such is the harsh reality of the scale of poverty in Africa. The Millennium Development Goals and the objective to halve the proportion of people living in extreme poverty by 2015 has driven a number of regional and national initiatives focused on poverty eradication in Africa based on local needs and priorities. |

Report from the Field: Incorporating Microfinance into Kenya's Economic Recovery Strategy
| |
| With a population of 30 million people and a per capita income of US$260, Kenya is categorized the 20th poorest country in the world.[1] Estimates indicate that about 47% of the rural population and 29% of the urban population live under conditions of absolute poverty, where malnutrition and seasonal famine are not just a consistent fear, but also a frequent reality in their lives. On the other hand, the unemployment rate, currently estimated at between 25% and 35%, threatens to get out of hand as roughly 0.5 million school dropouts continue to join the ranks of the unemployed every year. |
