The
Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale (CNSS) is a Mauritanian public institution with legal personality and financial autonomy in charge of managing the social security system in the country. It covers different local family pensions, risks at work, pensions for elderly, invalidity and death.
One of the objectives of the CNSS is to improve and modernise technologically the procedures that facilitates the access to all citizens to its services. Among their aims are shortening the period for contributions payment which has become quarterly for all employers. Also, the standardisation of the age retirement at 60.
The institution is currently involved in the implementation of “Damanouna”, a computer program that will manage all social security activities of the CNSS and speed up the processes for all employers making it also more reliable. This program will allow, in the short term, the introduction of a remote income tax return and online tax payments in Mauritania. CNSS also provides grants to unions that participate in campaigns to prevent risks at work.
“Our institution is now resolutely moving towards to modernise and improve the quality of the services offered to workers by virtue of its public service mission”, says Sidi Ethmane Cheik Med Fadel, general director of the organization, when asked about the current working conditions in Mauritania. Through its national social security fund, the CNSS is also helping improve health conditions at work.
“Mauritania low salaries represent an opportunity for economic growth and is attractive to international investors. Our country is also rich in natural resources and politically stable so we are all preparing ourselves for the year of reference set by the UN for 2030 enhancing our international image”, says Ethmane.
CNSS encourages investors to come to Mauritania through a battery of incentives. “Our budget remains stable and growing daily with the growth of our economy and therefore the increase of new registered employees. We are concern about the modernisation of our services through a mobile application to grow and face future risks”, underlines Ethmane.
