Fellowship Opportunities in Indonesia and the Philippines with ILO's Social Finance Program

The ILO's Social Finance Program is still welcoming applications from qualified candidates for fellowship opportunities in Indonesia and the Philippines. Only a few more days remain until the application deadline of 10 August 2018!

The Fellowship Program encourages professionals with substantial experience in the insurance and/or microfinance industry to use their expertise to effectively provide insurance/microfinance services to low-income households and emerging customers. 

Each fellow will be placed with a host (financial institution such as bank, microfinance institution, credit cooperative etc.) for 18 months, to support an innovation project in Indonesia or the Philippines. The project will focus on the implementation of an integrated risk-management solution for low-income households and/or small enterprises. The main objective is to test risk-management solutions that combine savings, credit, insurance, and risk prevention to improve customers’ ability to manage risk by leveraging the potential of technology to scale the innovations quickly.
