Promoting social security worldwide
The International Social Security Association (ISSA) is the world’s leading international organization for social security institutions and government departments, and it aims to advance the social and economic conditions of people based on social justice.
The ISSA promotes excellence in social security through professional guidelines and capacity building, proposing innovative solutions, sharing knowledge and data, organizing high-level regional and global events, and engaging with international partners.
Supporting its member institutions to develop excellence in social security systems and policy throughout the world, the ISSA was founded in 1927 under the auspices of the International Labour Organization (ILO).
