Keeping aside the false idea which stipulates that there is a non-existence of an insurance culture in Africa, this study therefore seeks to analyze the informal insurance practices of self help groups. The main observation is that, it is a real insurance system characterized by the high interaction between economic and socio cultural factors. The structural dualism observed is due to the formal insurance market imperfections or failures, state failures and socio cultural factors. However, the improvement of incentive frame of the formal component will lead a less disappearance of the informal component than the reduction of intensity of the involvement of poor excluded from formal insurance markets.
