Expert Forum: The business case for the standalone microinsurer, unpacked
Can a standalone microinsurer build a sustainable business? We put this question to three leaders who run one:
• Jacobeth Barno, CEO, APA Microinsurance (Kenya). APA Microinsurance became an independent entity, grown out of an existing business unit of APA Insurance.
• Shina Gbadegesin, CEO, GOXi Microinsurance (Nigeria). GOXi shares its founder with LAPO Microfinance Bank.
• Emmanuel Nzanana, COO, Radiant Yacu (Rwanda). Radiant Yacu was set up from the start as a dedicated standalone company within the Radiant group.
Join us on Wednesday 25 November 2026, from 15:00–16:00 CET.
Together, we will look at the data behind their growth and discuss sustainability, specific challenges and the pros and cons of each business model. The webinar will be moderater by Bert Opdebeeck, Founder of the Microinsurance Master.
