Thursday, September 18, 2025, will remain etched in the history of Benin as a key date for all those involved in Risk Management. At the village hall Françoise Garden In Cotonou, we had the honor of holding the inaugural launch of the Association for Risk Management and Insurance of Benin (AMRAB).
A major event!
Placed under the theme: " Risk management: the foundation for a better future », the ceremony brought together a wide range of institutional and private actors. Present were:
a strong delegation from the Ministry of Economy and Finance,
the representation of the National Council of Employers,
as well as the presidents and delegates of sister African and Beninese associations.
The discussions, particularly during the high-level panel, highlighted the importance of developing a national culture of Risk Management, which is essential for strengthening the resilience of organizations, institutions and the Beninese economy as a whole.
Sincere thanks
On behalf of AMRAB, I would like to express my deep gratitude to our international partners: Club Francorisk, CRMI of Nigeria, IRMSA of South Africa, FARMA, as well as to our sister Beninese associations: ASA, APEBEF, OECCA, ACAB, CNP, Association of Maritime Experts of Benin and Association of Industrial Risk Experts.
Special thanks also to our sponsors and partners whose support was decisive for the success of this first edition.
A friendly and memorable atmosphere
The evening concluded in a warm atmosphere, punctuated by an unforgettable AfroJazz performance by John ACADIUS and his team, who offered the audience a unique artistic interlude.
An economic and cultural immersion
The following day, the momentum continued with a risk visit to the GDIZ (Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone), a showcase of Beninese economic dynamism.
This immersion was completed by a cultural discovery in Ouidah, an inspiring stop at the Charlie d'Almeida gallery, then a stopover in Cotonou to admire the majestic statue of the Amazon and the murals of the autonomous port, symbols of Benin's rich artistic heritage.
And after?
This launch is just the beginning of a collective adventure. Together, let's grow the culture of risk management in Benin and Africa.
