The Marist District of West Africa was created in 2000 under the tutelage of the then Province of Levante. Since 2003, it has been under the direction and care of the Mediterranean Province. Initially it was composed of Cameroon, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Liberia and Tchad joined later. These five countries belonged, respectively, to the former Marist provinces of Great Britain, Nigeria, Levante, Esopus and Norte.
