During the Regional Social Security Forum for Africa (RSSF Africa), Certificates of Excellence were awarded to social security institutions from Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Morocco and Zambia.
The Recognition programme of the International Social Security Association (ISSA) provides member institutions with the opportunity to receive international certification and recognition for the successful implementation of a set of ISSA Guidelines on Social Security Administration.

Since its launch in 2016, this programme has become increasingly sought after, because it involves an external evaluation of an organization in a specific area, increases the motivation of staff, builds confidence in the institution internally and externally, and represents proof of the quality of systems and procedures. It also enables institutions to carry out a permanent improvement approach based on strengths and weaknesses identified by the evaluation.
A Certificate of Excellence is valid for three years. At RSSF Africa in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, 17–19 May 2023, eight certificates were handed out. Four of these were new, and four were recertifications for the next three years.
The ISSA will continue to highlight the achievements of its member institutions in this area in upcoming forums in other regions.
