Although the national federation of Egypt was implied in the foundation of the FIVB in 1947, volley ball remained primarily amateur in Africa, even in countries which maintained a program Olympic dense, like the South Africa or the Kenya. Recently, there was an considerable effort of the FIVB to improve competitiveness of the continent by the means of special actions of development. The results of these measurements are, in 2005, still shy persons.

The CAVB is responsible for the African national federations of volley ball, and organizes the continental competitions like the Championnats of Africa female masculine or Championnats of Africa (first editions in 1967). It also takes share in the organization of the tournaments of qualification for the significant events such as the Olympic Games or the Championnats of the world, and for the international competitions accommodated by one of its affiliated federations.
