The Regional Insurance Control Commission (French: Commission Régionale de Contrôle des Assurances, CRCA) is a supranational insurance supervisor established in 1993 and based in Libreville, Gabon. It is the single authority for insurers in the eight countries of the West African Monetary Union (French acronym UMOA), the six countries of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), as well as the Comoros, thus covering 15 countries in total: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Republic of the Congo, Senegal, and Togo.
