Technical advisory services for the ninth Actuarial Review of the Social Security Corporation and the strengthening and extension of social security programmes in Jordan

The project will mainly focus on the delivery of the ninth Actuarial Review of the social security schemes administered by the SSC, as at 31 December 2016. This follows previous Funds-in-Trust Projects concluded between the ILO and the SSC, and in particular the most recent four-year project of the ILO with the SSC that led to the seventh Actuarial Review of the SSC schemes, as at 31 December 2010, and the eighth Actuarial Review of the SSC schemes, as at 31 December 2013. Under this project, the ILO carried out in addition a series of technical reports on the costing of various reform proposals for the purpose of extending social security programmes under the umbrella of SSC (maternity, unemployment, voluntary second tier pensions, and health care). These ILO technical reports were delivered in support of informed policy decision making of tripartite Jordanian stakeholders, which led to the adoption of the New Social Security Law No. 1 of the Year 2014 –governing the SSC –by Parliament in January 2014.
