The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) is set to launch several new initiatives as part of a broader effort to modernise the social security system.
As part of a pilot programme, the NSSF plans to roll out a mobile-based enrolment system to enable individuals in remote and underserved areas to easily register and contribute to the fund.
According to the Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of delivery management, Eliud Owalo, the move was necessitated after it was observed that people in remote areas of the country were significantly underrepresented in social security schemes.
In addition to the mobile-based enrolment system, the NSSF has also embarked on the automation of its processes to increase contributions and enhance the efficiency of its management of members' funds.
