By way of reminder, the Federation of African National Insurance Companies better known by the acronym "FANAF" was created on March 17, 1976 in Yamoussoukro (Republic of Côte d'Ivoire). 

This professional organization, headquartered in Dakar, Senegal, pursues the following objectives : 

• The promotion of Insurance and Reinsurance in Africa ; 
• The representation and the defense of the interests of the profession ; 
• The establishment of structures for reflection and cooperation in matters of Insurance and Reinsurance ; 
• The continuous training of personnel in the insurance sector ; 
• The popularization of Insurance and Reinsurance ; 
• The establishment of professional relationships between Member Companies.

To achieve its noble objectives, FANAF has three statutory bodies, including two decision-making bodies (the General Assembly and the Executive Board) and an executive body of the General Secretariat.    

FANAF holds a symposium every year, besides its Ordinary General Meeting, to encourage reflection on topical issues in the insurance industry.

In addition to its 44th General Assembly, FANAF has been organizing since December 2019, a competition for the best insurance startups.
