Imagine how to practice actuarial science in West Africa. It is certainly not easy for someone who is not accustomed to this area. The socio-economic and cultural realities make the application of actuarial sciences interesting but totally different elsewhere. This presentation covers the history of training programs in Actuarial Sciences and a state of actuarial's environment in West Africa. It details the achievements and projects of an association whose aim is to promote actuarial sciences in Africa. It then put the focus on the impact of training on insurance companies with respect to changes in their management. It finally presents the application of actuarial sciences in our region and the difficulties faced by an actuary in the exercise of its functions.
