The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), despite facing numerous economic and political challenges, has established a social security framework designed to protect its workers and their families. This comprehensive system, governed by modern legislation and administered through specialized institutions, represents an important step toward social protection in one of Africa’s largest nations. Understanding the DRC’s social security landscape reveals both the ambitions of the country’s social policy and the practical realities of implementing such systems in a developing economy.

Algeria’s social security system has evolved significantly since independence, transitioning from a fragmented colonial framework to a more unified and inclusive structure. Initially characterized by multiple schemes with varying benefits, the system underwent major reforms in 1983 aimed at unifying structures, standardizing benefits, and expanding coverage, particularly for vulnerable populations. Key milestones include the establishment of regional funds in the 1960s, the creation of the National Social Security Fund in 1964, and the consolidation of various retirement and mining sector schemes into unified entities. These reforms laid the groundwork for a more equitable and efficient social security system.

Botswana’s Retirement Fund System: History, Reforms, and the Future with Interact SSAS Introduction Botswana’s pension landscape has undergone significant transformation since the country gained independence in 1966.
