The Federation of African National Insurance Companies (FANAF) is convening its 50th General Assembly and Symposium in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, from April 21-25, 2026. The event marks a major milestone for the organization, which was founded in 1976 to promote the development of the African insurance sector.
The central theme for the anniversary summit is 'African Insurance at the Time of the Shift,' focusing on the industry's urgent need for digital transformation. Discussions will address how insurers can leverage technology to improve access, develop new products, and enhance operational efficiency across the continent.
A key challenge on the agenda is climate risk. Participants will examine the growing financial impact of climate-related disasters and explore mechanisms for risk transfer and the development of sustainable insurance solutions to build resilience.
The symposium brings together industry leaders, regulators, and partners to strategize on strengthening the sector's contribution to economic development. FANAF's anniversary highlights both the progress made and the significant evolution required to meet future demands.
