Empowering Artisans: Coris Assurance Launches Groundbreaking Initiative to Boost Burkina Faso’s Craft Industry

As part of Local Eating Month, Coris Assurances has launched a special promotion. In fact, any new customer who subscribes to a car or home insurance policy, following the conditions of the promotion, is offered a smartphone holder made of wood by a local craftsman. This practical and aesthetic tool allows the user to keep his hands free while using his phone, meeting modern needs and strengthening the use of local products. By choosing a Burkinabè artisan to make this support, Coris Assurances Burkina strengthens its commitment to the national economy and local entrepreneurship.

To mark this event, all Coris Assurances staff, who have traditionally worn the Faso Danfani every Thursday for several years, exceptionally wore this outfit on Wednesday, October 30, 2024. The symbolic gesture this shows their full support for the vision of the authorities for the promotion of Burkinabè’s cultural and artisanal heritage.

During his speech, the deputy general director of Coris Assurances, Narcisse B. Dabiré, underlined the importance for the company to be associated with this initiative. “We thank and congratulate the Burkinabè authorities for this initiative which aims to develop local products. We therefore show our full support for this dynamic initiative and any other initiative that seeks to promote the wealth and development of Burkina Faso,” he noted. This message reflects Coris Assurances’ commitment to sustainable and fair development, thus contributing to the country’s prosperity.

By actively participating in Consumer Local Month, Coris Assurances is not limited to the simple distribution of its insurance products, but also participates in the national dynamic of promoting local skills and resources. This approach highlights a desire to contribute to strengthening the Burkinabe economy and knowledge, while fostering customer loyalty through innovative and attractive offers.

“We are an insurance company with a fully paid up share capital of 5 billion CFA francs”, Narcisse B Dabiré, deputy general director of Coris Assurance Burkina

According to Narcisse B. Dabiré, the most popular insurance product at Coris Assurances Burkina is automobile insurance, due to its mandatory nature for all land motor vehicle users. This product covers a wide range of vehicles, from two wheels to four wheels, ensuring protection for all Burkinabe motorists. By making this insurance accessible and raising awareness of its importance, Coris Assurances responds not only to legal requirements, but also to the safety needs of the Burkinabe population on the roads.

In addition to car insurance, Coris Assurances Burkina offers various products, including health insurance, which facilitate access to care for the Burkinabe people. The company also offers surety insurance to local companies operating in the construction and services sector. This insurance allows them to secure their financial commitments to project owners, valuable support for the development of Burkinabe businesses. Coris Assurances also offers construction insurance, essential for the risks inherent in construction activities, as well as transport insurance, designed to protect goods moving across borders, and fire insurance to protect his clients’ properties from disasters.

“We want to make our contribution to promoting Local Use Month through this initiative,” Laure Sonia Zombré/Kaboré, head of the human capital and general resources department

Created in 2011, Coris Assurance IARD is a company under Burkinabe law, which, in thirteen years, has managed to rise to third place among the country’s insurance companies. It has also been a leader in the large automotive sector since 2018. This site shows its large role in the sector and its dynamism. However, the company, by obtaining the ISO 9001 version 2015 certificate in June 2023, has the ambition to become the leader of the Burkinabe market in the coming years, by further diversifying its products and constantly improving the quality of its services to the growing needs of its customers and the requirements of the country’s economic development.

Coris Assurances Burkina, through its initiative on the occasion of Local Use Month, therefore reaffirms its position as a partner of choice for its customers and for Burkina Faso, by combining the promotion of services and concrete support for local crafts.
