Description

This project aims at extending social security coverage through the progressive establishment of a Social Protection Floor in Iraq. The project will work on a comprehensive reform of the Social Insurance system (public and private) to increase coverage and ensure the sustainable provision of adequate financial benefits. Specifically, the project will carry out an actuarial valuation of the social insurance system for public and private sector workers aiming at extending the social security coverage and benefits and ensuring the financial sustainability of the scheme, work on comprehensive policy recommendations for the reform of the Social Security System based on the actuarial valuation, and on a legal review of the 2007-2008 social security law, undertaken with ILO support. The ILO will carry out a series of activities: an Actuarial Valuation of the social security schemes for public and private sector workers aiming at the extension of social security coverage and benefits and ensuring the financial sustainability of the schemes; capacity building for tripartite stakeholders on social security standards, principles, policies and financing mechanisms, social security legal drafting, actuarial techniques, investment and social security administration; and a legal review of the draft social security law for private sector workers.
