Modernizing the information system to improve service quality and combat fraud

In July 2013, the National Social Security Fund (Caisse nationale de sécurité sociale (CNSS)) launched a programme to improve its information system by integrating the use of biometric cards and e-declarations in its operation. With the biometric card, insured individuals will be able to verify the payment of their contributions, obtain all career and status information, simulate the conditions of their upcoming retirement and collect benefit payments at a kiosk.

SOLI: Short Message Service (SMS) reimbursement through a pharmacy network

Using new information and communication technologies (ICT) to implement a project of great social intensity: reimbursing health services by SMS and 3G in the pharmacy network under the supervision of a leading bank. Social benefit reimbursement is fundamental to the State because it relies on respecting the national commitments made to the population. It is not a theoretical question but a practical reality. When a person on a low income is entitled to a reimbursement of health services, the reality of having to manage a household budget on a daily basis becomes apparent.

Planning and performance

The National Sickness Insurance Fund (Caisse nationale d'assurance maladie (CNAM)) which has implemented new and innovative information and communication technologies (ICT) in social benefit management, has developed since 2010 a new strategy to improve performance at all levels of management.

Drawing on Kaplan and Norton's Balanced Score Card (BSC) work, the method aims to share out all the projects and action plans among the managers to maximize results and thus cultivate a culture of excellence based on project progress accountability reporting.

In April 2011, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) introduced a new payment system for social assistance. Payments were made to a beneficiary account using a debit master card which is SASSA branded. The card is issued by a registered bank and operates within the banking environment. The specification of the card complies with EMV standards.

Proximity through a mobile office

In order to be closer to its policyholders, the National Social Insurance Fund (Caisse nationale de prévoyance sociale (CNPS)) of Madagascar has increased its number of agencies at a regional level. However, the isolation of some areas limits its efforts to improve service quality and the effectiveness of social protection. A special proximity policy was adopted to remedy this situation. A mobile office was set up to get closer to the target population and insured people in particular, and to adapt the services offered to the needs of people living in less accessible areas.
