    Description
    The Organización Nacional de Instituciones Estatales de Seguridad Social (ONIESS) is a platform that brings together social security agencies from adhering Mexican states. SOCIEUX+ has supported the emergence and formal establishment of ONIESS through various actions (including 2017-17, 2015-24, and 2014-25). The present action supports ONIESS’ initial endeavors as decided by the General Assembly. ONIESS has been provided by experts from Belgium and Spain with two important tools, which are, from one side, the questionnaire for defining the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of the different State social security systems and, from the other side, a draft proposal for a General Social Security Law. This document is to be conceived not as a ready-to-be-approved proposal of Law, but rather as a tool that allows ONIESS to set up a minimum common denominator defining their social security systems and engage in policy dialogue with the federal authorities over future proposals of reform of the social security system at large.
