6. Urges the Commission to introducededicate significant funding to improve access to insurance in developing countries, particularly for health and pensions; encourages the Commission to support partner countries in putting into place wide-coverage insurance schemes that include the poorest and most vulnerable segments of society, including through support for the microfinancial services sector; is convinced that such schemes, if well designed, have the potential not only to lift people out of poverty and enhance the resilience of the most vulnerable by protecting their assets, but also to foster greater social cohesion and more inclusive growth.
