Good Practices in Social Security Database
The identification and sharing of good practices helps social security organizations and institutions to improve their operational and administrative efficiency.
In the context of the ISSA, a good practice is defined as any type of experience (e.g. an action, a measure, a process, a programme, a project, or a technology) implemented within a social security organization that fosters the improvement of its administrative and operational capacities, and/or the efficient and effective delivery of programmes.
The good practices selected by the ISSA focus on topics related to the priorities as defined in the programme and budget of the Association. The good practices are from member institutions of the ISSA and are primarily collected through the work of the eleven ISSA Technical Commissions and the ISSA Good Practice Awards. Winners of the Good Practice Awards are identified in this database with a symbol (
).
While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, the ISSA declines liability for any inaccuracy, omission or other error in the data contained in the good practice descriptions.

Electronic service delivery channels
Previously, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) only provided services to its members when they visited its offices. Member statements showing their contribution balances were only issued in hard copy and follow up on claims necessitated visiting the NSSF offices, which was costly and inconvenient to both the members and the NSSF.
