Within the framework of SESRIC’s Social Security Institutions Capacity Building Programme (SSI-CaB), the Centre organised a Webinar on “Sustainability and Financing Mechanisms for Social Security Institutions”. The Webinar brought together 64 experts and executives from ministries and national institutions across 14 OIC member countries.

The webinar aimed to deepen participants' understanding of the significance of sustainable financing mechanisms for social security institutions. It served as a platform for knowledge sharing and the exchange of best practices to address challenges in sustainability and financing, while also identifying opportunities within OIC countries.

The webinar featured presentations by experts from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Türkiye, the Social Security Organization (SOCSO) of Malaysia, and the Agency for Sustainable and Operational Social Security (DOST) of Azerbaijan. Key topics addressed during the webinar included:

• Overview of Financing Mechanisms for Social Security Institutions;
• Strategies for Sustainable Domestic Resources Mobilisation; and
• Case Studies and Best Practices from OIC Member Countries.

The presentations of the webinar are available here.

SESRIC developed its Social Security Institutions Capacity Building Programme (SSI-CaB) in November 2014 in order to enhance institutional and human resources capacities in the OIC Member States in this important domain. The Programme aims to play an active role in facilitating knowledge exchange, sharing of experience and best practices among the Social Security Institutions of the OIC Member States.
