  2. The Pension Fund System in Tanzania Calculation Examples Supported in Interact SSAS

    by
    A well-structured pension system is essential for ensuring financial security for employees after retirement and providing critical benefits in cases of disability, sickness, or death. In Tanzania, the pension system is primarily governed by two major funds: the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and the Public Service Social Security Fund (PSSSF).

  3. Uganda’s Pension Reforms: A Step Towards a Sustainable Retirement System

    by
    Pension reforms are necessary to ensure financial security for retirees and create a system that balances contributions with long-term benefits. In Uganda, reforms have been ongoing to improve retirement security and expand coverage to more workers. The Uganda Retirement Benefits Regulatory Authority (URBRA) plays a key role in overseeing the retirement sector, ensuring compliance, transparency, and sustainability. Before 2012, Uganda had only two main retirement plans: the Public Employees Retirement Plan, which covered some civil servants, and the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), which catered to private-sector employees working for companies with at least five employees. Since then, URBRA has expanded the pension system by licensing additional retirement funds, including the Kampala City Traders Association Retirement Fund (KACITA Retirement Fund) and the Mazima Retirement Plan. In February 2025, Uganda’s Parliament passed the Public Service Pension Fund Bill, 2024, marking a major step in pension reform. The bill introduces a contributory...

Today, many employees have multiple jobs or engage in concurrent employment, meaning contributions are submitted by different employers over a worker’s career. While this flexibility brings opportunities for individuals, it also poses significant challenges for social security administrations tasked with accurately tracking contributions, calculating benefits, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
