Must read

The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has bagged another accolade, beating nine other similar Funds to emerge winner of the Africa Investor (AI) CEO Infrastructure Investment Award 2018.

The awards were hosted on June 18, 2018 at the St. Regis Mauritius Resort in Le Morne Mauritius. Managing Director, Richard Byarugaba received the award on behalf of NSSF.

NSSF beat others like; Government Institutions Pension Fund (GIPF), Namibia, Pension Danmark and Pensions kassernes Administration A/S, National Social Security Fund (NSSF), Tanzania, Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF), South Africa, Public Service Superannuation Scheme (PSSS), Kenya

Others were; Botswana Public Officers Pension Fund (BPOPF), Social Security & National Insurance Trust (SNNIT), Ghana, Debswana Pension Fund (DBF), Botswana and Public Service Pension Fund (PSPF), Tanzania.

The awards came a day before the Africa Energy Forum 2018. The forum will be held on June 19, 2018 under the theme, “Putting Financial Close First” and will gather Africa’s Ministers of Energy, top project developers and project financiers among others.

NSSF has continued to be recognised both locally and globally for various innovations and implementation of best practices in various categories. Last year, NSSF won the Africa Pension Fund Infrastructure Investment Initiative of the Year Award and two International Social Security Association (ISSA) Good Practice Awards for the Friends with Benefits initiative and the E-collections platform.

NSSF in May won the Corporate Governance Awards for outstanding practices in the category of Public Sector Governance, ahead of 6 public institutions that participated in the awards.

The inaugural awards which were organized by the Institute of Corporate Governance of Uganda (ICGU), took place on 17th May at the Kampala Serena Hotel.

The awards were intended to shine a beacon of light on companies that uphold the best practices in corporate governance. Even though most companies have governance structures in place, including board of directors, many of them don’t provide effective governance over their required mandates.

The Fund was also recognized for good corporate governance in the Financial Reporting (FiRe) Awards in 2015 and 2016.
