A series of reforms has been implemented since 2008 to bring the National Social Insurance Fund (Caisse nationale de prévoyance sociale (CNPS)) of Cameroon up to international standards in an effort to incorporate the best management practices of social security organizations, with a view to guaranteeing not only the sustainability of the Fund, but also rigorous, efficient and exemplary management in all respects. To ensure this and guarantee a high level of performance over the long-term, it has been necessary to train the organization's managers in the professions and support functions of social security and in the understanding and resolution of the special problems of the organization, both current and future, rather than to train them in institutions with non-specific programmes. This effort has resulted in academic and professional training at a high level culminating in a degree for 50 managers in a special two-year programme within the CNPS of Cameroon.
