Book excerpt: In order for micro-insurance schemes to be durable and have the capacities to develop, it is important for them to be well formulated from their start. To this effect, it is essential to conduct a systematic feasibility study prior to the establishment or further development of a health micro-insurance scheme. The guide will help promoters of health micro-insurance schemes to realize such a study. It will allow for the analysis of the necessary prerequisites for the creation of such a scheme, as well as identifying the characteristics (the organisation, the services, etc.) necessary for its viability and its effectiveness. The guide is organised in two volumes. The first provides a step-by-step procedure, which will help actors to organise their implementation of the study. The second focuses on the methods and tools relating to each step, offering concrete support for putting the procedure into practice.
