The Microinsurance Innovation Facility’s fellowship programme is an opportunity for young professionals to gain hands-on experience in microinsurance by working onsite in a microinsurance programme under the remote guidance of a mentor and, at the same time, to build the institutional capacity of the host organization. The assignments, based in developing countries, last from 6 to 12 months. Fellows are provided with monthly stipends that vary by host country and experience. Fellowships are learning opportunities and not offers of employment.
The fellowship programme is available from March 2012 to March 2013 at Accra, Ghana. The host organization for this programme is Star Microinsurance Services Limited.
Star Microinsurance Services Limited (Star Micro) is a subsidiary of the HODA Group of companies.
During the one year of the Fellowship, the Fellow will work closely with the operations manager, and will also get support from external consultants from the Microinsurance Center, advising StarMicro on a regular basis.
The application deadline is 30 November 2011. For more information, visit this link.
