The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Milliman Inc. have launched a new initiative to build actuarial expertise in developing countries, helping the countries predict and prepare for risks in the years ahead. The UNDP-Milliman Global Actuarial Initiative (UNDP-Milliman GAIN), announced as part of the 77th United Nations General Assembly, will seek to enable insurers, pension funds and social security administrations to better manage risks and, in turn, offer innovative and affordable insurance solutions for all.

Together with local stakeholders, the GAIN Program Team has developed an intervention roadmap to address the identified opportunities across multiple countries, including Egypt, Nepal and Nigeria. One of the interventions includes increasing the number and expertise of actuaries in these countries via a Mentorship program. The objective of the mentorship program is to provide guidance to actuarial professionals to equip them with a greater understanding of their career pathway as actuaries. As a mentor, you will be paired up with actuarial students / graduates as mentees across multiple countries. The starting time of the program may vary throughout Q4 of 2024 depending on the country of placement.
