This document summarizes a case study on an insurance micro-product launched in Mali by Orange Mali called Sini Tonon. Sini Tonon allows customers to save money in their Orange Money wallet and automatically receives life and health insurance once they reach a 40,000 CFA franc threshold. The product was successful with 55% of women and 48% of men saving for the first time. 97% of customers found it useful and 95% would recommend it. Lessons learned include needing better customer education on insurance and improving the gender balance of users. Comparable initiatives from Tigo in Senegal and Orange in Cameroon are also summarized.

11. Lessons learned
Need to provide a better customer education in order to :
- explain the complex concept of insurance to women
- transform the Malian – and more broadly the African – habits
of savings showing them the advantages of saving money
Better plan the target approach :
too many men vs. few women
Offer a large range of insurance
services to reach a broader customer
target and fulfill the needs of all
12. To Go Forward …
Organising a massive communicatin campaign through direct
field action to have a better reach on our privileged target :
Women
1
Creating new ways for customers to achieve the
insurance product in order to increase insured number
2
Encouraging even more savings habits among
users to make the insurance product easily
accessible
Adding new partners to the project in order to improve the
project
Thinking of new insurance products
according to the needs of the current users
