A special session of the World Social Security Forum brought African leaders together to discuss the contribution of social security to regional development and the Millennium Development Goals in Africa.

At the invitation of the Department of Social Development of the Republic of South Africa, representatives of all African sub-regions discussed how social security is contributing to the broad and vibrant mosaic of African solutions to meet the continent’s multiple challenges.

The session discussed the important developments that are taking place in social security systems throughout the region, and presented examples of how social security is empowering the lives of individuals and communities.
