Phnom Penh: Today, Bunthorn Prum, president of CDPLA, attended the Official announcement of the implementation of the National Social Security Fund
The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) of Cambodia is a public institution that provides social security benefits to workers and their families. It was established in 2006, and the first phase of the NSSF, the Occupational Risk Scheme, was implemented in 2011. The second phase, the Health Care Scheme, was implemented in 2016.
In 2022, the NSSF launched a voluntary contribution program for health care for self-employed individuals and their family members. This program allows self-employed individuals to contribute to the NSSF and receive the same health care benefits as workers who are covered by the NSSF through their employers.
The NSSF also offers a training program for young people from poor families. This program provides participants with vocational training and job placement assistance. The goal of the program is to help young people from poor families develop the skills they need to find good jobs and improve their lives.
The official announcement of the implementation of the NSSF and the voluntary contribution program for health care was made by His Excellency Ouk Samvithyea, Delegate of the Royal Government in charge as Director General of the NSSF, on December 4, 2022. In his announcement, His Excellency Samvithyea stated that the NSSF and the voluntary contribution program for health care are important social safety nets that will help to improve the lives of workers and their families in Cambodia.
The official announcement of the training program for young people from poor families was made by His Excellency Samvithyea on March 14, 2023. In his announcement, His Excellency Samvithyea stated that the training program is an important investment in the future of Cambodia. He also stated that the program will help to reduce poverty and inequality in Cambodia.
The implementation of the NSSF, the voluntary contribution program for health care, and the training program for young people from poor families are important steps forward for Cambodia. These programs will help to improve the lives of workers and their families, and they will also help to reduce poverty and inequality in Cambodia.
Overall, the implementation of the NSSF, the voluntary contribution program for health care, and the training program for young people from poor families is a positive development for the CDPLA and the people it serves. The CDPLA is working to ensure that its members have access to these programs and that they can benefit from them.
