Good Morning Daniel Spessot (La Segunda) and Carmen Barboza (Aseguradora Tajy), it’s a pleasure to meet you today
I’m going to ask you some questions about your organizations.
First Question: Besides offering the opportunity of networking, what can do ICMIF to provide greater opportunities for cooperation between member organizations?
Effectively we consider this to be very fruitful within this working group, as we saw yesterday at the microinsurance workshop.
We need more practical working workshops where we can really learn and share these experiences
so that we can have an effective interchange of knowledge and reach our communities.
Thank you, and what are the key factors for success and failure of two organizations that work together?
As we both mentioned earlier today, within the working phases of the development of agricultural insurance between La Segunda and Tajy,
we primarily must establish objectives, set up a date for them and stick to these calendar so these objectives can be reached as planned.
Thank you, do you think that the values of cooperation play a role in facilitating cooperation between two cooperative organizations?
With no doubt the cooperative values are fundamental between two organisations
that share the same philosophy and the essence that originated them.
Therefore I find it fundamental for the success of a project or programme
between two cooperative institutions for it to be securely founded on values.
Thank you, the last question is:
How has your collaboration made a difference in the living standards of low-income farmers and how has it made a difference in your organization?
In terms of microinsurance, particularly for low-income families that work in the agriculture sector,
agricultural insurance is a paramount tool, not only to cover their material damage on their crops caused by weather
but also as a social safety guard instrument.
For families living in the countryside of any country that rely on agriculture as a source of income is in their fields,
when they suffer a loss of their crops, to have the possibility to carry on doing their activity,
in my opinion it is fundamental and the essence of microinsurance.
But I think that even more so for these cooperative organisations with very strong values
that always find a way of consolidating these values out of these experiences.
Thank you very much Carmen and Daniel for your collaboration.
Thank you.
