The Actuarial Society of Kenya
OUR HisTORY
Our History
The Actuarial Society of Kenya (TASK) was constituted in 1993 to support the development and coordination of actuarial practice in Kenya at a time when the profession was still emerging locally and practitioners were largely trained through international actuarial bodies.
Our Journey of Growth and Recognition
The Early Years (1993)
As the actuarial profession in Kenya grew in scope and importance, the need for a formally recognised professional body became increasingly clear. TASK began as a foundational step to bring structure and coordination to a profession that was still in its infancy locally.
Formal Establishment (2005)
In 2005, TASK was formally registered as a society, providing a structured legal and governance framework to advance the profession, represent its members, and engage effectively with regulators, industry stakeholders, and academic institutions.
Evolution & National Recognition
Since its formal registration, TASK has evolved from a small professional grouping into a nationally recognised actuarial body, playing a central role in actuarial education, professional development, and industry engagement. The Society has actively collaborated with regulators, universities, and regional and international actuarial organisations to strengthen actuarial capacity and promote global best practice within the Kenyan context.
Global Reach & Influence
Over the years, TASK has expanded its influence beyond national boundaries, contributing to regional actuarial initiatives and strengthening Kenya's visibility within the global actuarial community.
A Defining Milestone - ICA 2029
This growth and credibility were underscored when Kenya was awarded the hosting rights for the International Congress of Actuaries (ICA) 2029, a significant milestone reflecting the Society's maturity and standing.
