National Social Security Policy

The International Labour Organization (ILO) defines social security as "a set of public measures that a society provides for its members to protect them against economic and social distress that would be caused by the absence or substantial reduction of income from work as a result of various contingencies like sickness, maternity, employment injury, unemployment, invalidity, old age, death and health care�. The policy assesses the current situation of social security in Rwanda, to propose interventions at ameliorating the conditions of Rwandans arising from risks and uncertainties.
