2026 TAG Annual Conference on Inclusive Insurance
INNOVATING FOR INCLUSIVITY, FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND IMPACT
May 26-28, 2026 | CEILA RESORT, LUSAKA, ZAMBIA
The 2026 Annual TAG Inclusive Insurance Conference took place at Ceila Bonanza Resort in Lusaka, Zambia, from 26 to 28 May 2026, under the theme “Innovating for Inclusivity, Financial Performance and Impact.” Co-hosted by the Pensions and Insurance Authority, Munich Re Foundation, and FinProbity Solutions, the event convened national, regional, and international stakeholders to explore how inclusive insurance can enhance financial resilience, market growth, social protection, and sustainable development.
The conference featured a dynamic mix of workshops, executive retreats, plenary and panel discussions, co-creation workshops, insurtech pitches, and networking opportunities. Key themes included microinsurance regulation, sandbox guidelines, human-wildlife conflict insurance, carbon insurance, sustainable and digital insurance, inclusive health insurance, bancassurance, agriculture insurance, and profit with purpose.
Over three days, the agenda moved from strategic insights to practical market action. Day one focused on profit with purpose, co-creation, and carbon insurance. Day two highlighted regulatory frameworks, sustainability, digital and human-wildlife conflict insurance, and insurtech innovation. Day three addressed health insurance, bancassurance, agriculture insurance, and future priorities for Zambia’s inclusive insurance sector. Overall, the conference reinforced the role of inclusive insurance as a vital tool for protecting low-income households, informal workers, small-scale farmers, MSMEs, and communities facing climate, health, agriculture, and nature-related risks.
