The theme of this conference which is: “REBUILDING AFRICA’S ECONOMY – THE INSURANCE PERSPECTIVE” is therefore coming at a time when the corona virus pandemic has affected economic activities in the African continent. Several conferences across different markets have focused on the impact of COVID-19 on the industry from various perspectives. This theme paper will attempt to look at broader issues of how insurance can contribute to and benefit from the efforts at rebuilding the African economy post COVID. It is our hope and indeed expectation that participants will find the presentations enriching and derive value from attending the conference.
