At the CGAP Symposium on Resilience in Amsterdam, Babak Abbaszadeh, President and CEO of Toronto Centre, spoke about a collaboration to advance training for supervisors on inclusive insurance and to build financial resiliency.
On July 1, CGAP will become the new host and convenor of the Access to Insurance Initiative (A2ii) and the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) will become a member of CGAP. A2ii’s current collection of training tools and materials will be supported by Toronto Centre. Toronto Centre will deepen its partnership with CGAP and be a preferred capacity-building implementation partner, integrating A2ii’s training modules into its global supervisory training programs and continue as an implementation partner to the IAIS, primarily on Risk Based Supervision.
This partnership brings together the complementary strengths of each organization to ensure insurance supervisors—especially in developing and emerging markets—have timely access to practical tools, global standards, and evidence-based training.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to deepen our partnerships with these dedicated organizations to advance inclusive insurance globally and improve financial resiliency” said Babak Abbaszadeh.
Together, we are ensuring the legacy of A2ii continues—stronger, more inclusive, and more impactful than ever.
