The ISSA around the world – ISSA – Annual Review 2022-2023

Never has the ISSA had such a wide global membership and network of regional structures.

To help serve the 324 member institutions from 163 countries, the ISSA has established a network of 19 Focal Points and Liaison Offices. Each one of them supports the ISSA to implement its priorities and activities, and responds to the specific needs and interests of the member institutions that they cover.

The Liaison Office for the Andean Countries has moved from Derrama Magisterial to the Pension Standardization Office (Oficina de Normalización Previsional) of Peru, and the Liaison Office for East Africa is now hosted by the National Social Security Fund of Uganda. The ISSA thanks them, and all the other host institutions, for contributing to the promotion of excellence in social security.
