- Description
- French experts accompanied by regional experts from Cameroon and Madagascar assessed the Income-generating Activities (AGRs) programme of the Fonds Nationale d'Aide Sociale (FNAS) of Gabon, as well as the capacity building needs of its staff. Strategic and technical support was provided to the elaboration of the FNAS’ plan of action for 2021, followed by a strategic orientation to the definition of corporate long-term objectives. The third activity focused on the formulation of a Logical Framework mirroring the three axes of the strategic orientation, namely: Governance, strategic approach and framework of actions; Financial capacity and autonomy; Development of operational modalities and FNAS procedures for AGRs. A final training clarified ways for FNAS staff to play a role in implementing the objectives and expected results of the new Logical Framework.

- Description
- The Social Security Commission Development Fund (SSC-DF) is a Government-owned institution mandated to design and operate several social insurance schemes that cater for matters such as maternity leave, occupational injuries, extended sick leave, medical cover and retirement benefits. It also has a non-contributory branch which acts as a labour market institution to promote employability and stimulate employment creation. The SSC-DF aspires at becoming the leading agency for social security and insurance in Namibia. The original objectives of the action were to support the extension of the coverage of social protection to the informal economy, and to explore the feasibility of setting up a national internship and/or apprenticeship programme, helping to bridge the transition from school to work for recent graduates. Upon an assessment mission which reviewed and provided the SSC-DF with recommendations on how to address the existing political and institutional processes associated with the extension of social protection coverage to the identified target groups. The needs however to implement these recommendations were beyond sole short-term technical assistance as what SOCIEUX could provide alone.
