Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) Africa has announced a $30 million (Sh3.89 billion) fund aimed at supporting insurance start-ups to scale their operations and accelerate the uptake of insurance products across the continent.

The fund, called Inclusive Insurtech Investment Fund (3iF), will bridge the financing gap that prevents promising tech-enabled solutions from scaling and addressing Africa’s substantial insurance protection gap.
