Returning to campus! After three years of e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, the ITC-ILO invites ISSA members back to on-campus Diploma training courses.
Effective contribution collection and compliance is essential to ensure the financial sustainability, adequate coverage, and social legitimacy of social security schemes. Participants of this course will draw on international best-practice guidelines to identify administrative solutions to improve access to contributory social security programmes for populations that are difficult to cover.
This is one of seven ISSA Diploma training courses run in partnership with the ITC-ILO, offered in an innovative face-to-face and interactive format.
