Vimo SEWA, an Indian insurance cooperative owned and run by women working in the informal sector, will be advising the implementation of a similar microinsurance program in Namibia [1]. The effort is part of the Namibian government’s Vision 2030 initiative, a series of developmental policy goals enacted in 2004 to be achieved by the year 2030 [2]. As part of Vision 2030, the Namibian government has demonstrated commitment to other forms of social insurance by enacting monthly pensions to elderly and disabled citizens [1]. Additionally, the Namibian government is funding Vimo SEWA during the advisory process [1].
