Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 50902, member: 636"] The Actuarial Society of Zimbabwe pushed its members to stop just giving advice and start making real changes happen across finance, healthcare, and government policy. These finance experts crunch numbers and analyze data to help companies and governments figure out risks from accidents, disasters, and economic troubles. Zimbabwe desperately needs more actuaries because the shaky economy has forced many businesses to shut down or seek bailouts. The society held its 11th annual meeting in Nyanga from Wednesday through Friday with the theme about turning insights into actual results. Outgoing president Prosper Matiashe told members they need to stop walking away after giving recommendations and start helping put their ideas into action. Matiashe wants actuaries to dive deeper into research and policy work, especially around climate change and healthcare issues. He believes the profession can expand into new areas that will bring better jobs and higher salaries for members. The society promises to back its members as they grow professionally and push for policy changes. President-elect Livingstone Magorimbo revealed plans to mentor young actuaries and help local universities get their programs recognized by international standards. The society wants to create coaching programs where experienced actuaries guide newcomers through the profession and teach them about integrity. Magorimbo emphasized the need to raise awareness about what actuaries actually do since many people still do not understand the profession. The society plans to help universities develop proper actuarial science programs and support students pursuing these degrees. [/QUOTE]
