Ghana's insurance sector has once more showcased its expanding prominence and quality within Africa, receiving substantial acknowledgment at the 2025 African Insurance Organization (AIO) Conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
One of the main highlights of the conference was acknowledging the Association of Young Insurance Professionals (YIPs) – Ghana Chapter as the leading chapter among the top three highest-performing YIPs groups across Africa.
This significant milestone underscores the nation's increasing commitment to nurturing youth involvement and leadership within the insurance industry. During the conference’s esteemed awards event, the accolade was graciously accepted by Lawrence Daniels from StarLife, who serves as the Country Director for YIPs Ghana.
In further boosting Ghana’s profile, Asante Nidad, a UPSA undergraduate who clinched the Tertiary Achiever Award at an event organized by YIPs Ghana—part of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Ghana (CIIG)—in 2024, was crowned the African champion in the AIO–YIPs Africa Tertiary Institution Contest conducted during their conference.
Another notable achievement came as Star Assurance’s Bernard Akyin-Arkoh, a respected figure within YIPs Ghana, was named the recipient of the AIO Book Award. This recognition honored his exceptional work entitled 'Enhancing Disaster Management in Africa: How Insurance Can Bolster Preparedness, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery'. His publication provides essential perspectives on how insurance strategies can fortify Africa’s ability to manage disasters effectively.
These accomplishments highlight the significant influence that young Ghanaian professionals are exerting in defining the direction of insurance development throughout Africa. The Ghanaian representatives were pivotal participants in panel discussions, workshops, and strategic meetings, demonstrating their expertise in topics like accessible insurance options, technological advancements, and cooperative regulation.
The acknowledgment garnered at the 51st AIO Conference strongly reflects Ghana’s dedication to fostering innovation, advancing professional growth, and enhancing insurance education. This accolade underscores that the nation’s insurance expertise is expanding and significantly influencing the landscape across Africa.
Ghana’s impressive showing at the AIO Conference lays down a strong base for future achievements as the sector keeps enhancing capabilities, strengthening stakeholder involvement, and steering forward with clear vision and intent.
