The competition is aimed at rewarding the best initiatives and professional practices in the field of occupational safety and health (OSH) among students in vocational and technical training. This initiative of the Social Security Fund (Caisse de sécurité sociale – CSS) of Senegal is reserved for students and aimed at raising the awareness of future workers and employers, while also creating a dynamic of reflection and sharing in the field of OSH.

The works are evaluated by a jury according to criteria based on:

For some ten years, the National Social Security Fund (Caisse nationale de prévoyance – CNPS) of Cameroon has been resolutely committed to sustainable development and corporate social responsibility (CSR).

By leveraging its wide scope of action (employers, workers, recipients of benefits, health and social campaigns through hospitals and schools, etc.), the CNPS has stepped up its environmental commitment over the last three years through the implementation of an action plan that has significantly reduced its carbon footprint and hence its greenhouse gas emissions.

The mandate of the National Social Insurance Fund (Caisse nationale de prévoyance sociale – CNaPS) of Madagascar includes occupational accidents and diseases. Within this remit, CNaPS also promotes early intervention, encouraging preventive action to address risks arising in the workplace. The aim is to increase awareness and motivation on the part of employers and workers as regards the need for a safe and healthy work environment.

The Gabon National Social Security Fund (Caisse nationale de sécurité sociale – CNSS) did not have a separate directorate responsible for issues relating to occupational safety and health (OSH). Before November 2017, all the institution had as part of its core activities was one section lacking visibility and leadership. The General Directorate therefore decided to enhance this unit’s status by turning it into a Directorate on the same footing as the other operational Directorates (the Technical Benefits Directorate and the Registration and Collection Directorate).
