Description
Following the establishment of the Employment Injury Scheme in 2008, The NSSF is working to set up its second branch, the Social Health Insurance. By the end of April 2017, the scheme reached 642,708 workers out of the first target of 1.1 million to cover formally employed workers. However, no comprehensive communication strategy directed at the mass population of beneficiaries has been put in place. This has resulted in some cases of confusion amongst workers who may not understand why 1.3 per cent of their salary is suddenly being deducted - it is the first scheme with a contribution from workers. The present project aims at filling this gap by providing support to the NSSF in developing and implementing a communication strategy, notably to better engage with social partners. The project will result in more aware workers and employers as well as in better capacities of NSSF to communicate. It is expected that the project will contribute to the development of a culture of social protection in the country.SDG
