The objective is to encourage talent and exchange information on curricula and teaching methods in mathematics across the African continent. Each participating country team consists of six contestants (three girls and three boys), a team leader and a deputy team leader.
South Africa has taken part in the PAMO since 2000. South Africa hosted the event in 2002, 2009 and 2019. The top achievers of the South African Mathematics Olympiad are eligible to represent South Africa at the PAMO.
