Ivory Coast recorded 14,784 road accidents and 1,307 deaths on its roads in 2025, according to figures recalled in Abidjan-Port-Bouët at the opening of the third annual CEOs’ summit of Kenya Reinsurance Corporation. The two-day meeting brings together African insurers, reinsurers and regulators on victim protection and compensation, reports L’Intelligent d’Abidjan.

The 14,784 road accidents recorded in Ivory Coast in 2025 caused 1,307 deaths, a 19% decrease compared with 2021, Jean-Marc Atché, deputy chief of staff representing Transport and Maritime Affairs Minister Amadou Koné, said on 10 November 2026 in Abidjan-Port-Bouët.

Jean-Marc Atché called for accessible insurance cover for two- and three-wheeled vehicle drivers, faster compensation for victims, pricing that encourages safer behaviour and better information sharing between road safety and insurance stakeholders, according to L’Intelligent d’Abidjan. These measures were advocated at the third annual CEOs’ Summit of Kenya Reinsurance Corporation, focusing in particular on motor, agricultural and health insurance in Africa.

Dr Hillary Wachinga, managing director of Kenya Reinsurance Corporation, called for stronger cooperation between African markets to identify new growth opportunities and consolidate mechanisms to protect populations, reports L’Intelligent d’Abidjan.
