The protection measures which society provides for its members, through a series of public programmes against economic and social insecurities that would otherwise be caused by the stoppages or substantial reduction of earnings resulting from sickness, maternity, employment injury, unemployment, disability, old age, death, the provision of medical care subsidies for families with children. Definition of Social Security /Protection

Structure of Social Security in Tanzania (SSP 2003) 1 This constitutes provision of services such as primary health; primary education, water, food security and other services on a means tested basis. These services are usually financed by the government and Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs.) 2 These are usually compulsory and contributory schemes financed by both employer and employee during the working life for terminal and short-term benefits. 3 The schemes under this tier include personal savings, co-operative and credit societies, occupational pensions schemes and private schemes; managed by employers, professional bodies, community based organizations and other private sector actors.

Building Sustainable Social Protection System Progressive realization of higher level of protection

Guiding principles Equality national and non nationals men& women Solidarity –individual right to social security protection for all human beings Compulsory affiliation(compulsory vs voluntary coverage) General responsibility of the state derived from human nature of ss &democratic management-financing through contributions Solidarity Applies to financing techniques irrespective of the approach (full, partial, pay-as-you go, taxation or combination of those). Collective financing is indispensable to ensure that the most vulnerable categories enjoy real access to social protection they require

Policy framework for adequate social security/protection for all – Universality – formal and informal sector should be provided with an opportunity to participate in social security schemes – Progressiveness - provision of basic benefit package should progressively be improved as national resources allows – Pluralism – Outcome focus

Protection of members rights Benefits and poverty protection as a right: Entitlements to benefits should be specified in a precise manner so as to represent predictable rights of residents and/or contributors; - the role of SSRA in setting minimum benefit package Collective “actuarial equivalence” of contributions and benefit levels: The benefits to be received by scheme members should represent both a minimum benefit replacement rate and a minimum rate of return in case of savings schemes, which in turn must adequately reflect the overall level of the contributions paid; such minimum levels should be effectively guaranteed, preferably by the State.

Protection of members rights Sound financing: Schemes should be financed in such a manner as to ensure to the furthest extent possible their long- term financial viability and sustainability, having regard to the maintenance of adequate fiscal space for the national social security systems as a whole and individual schemes in particular. Responsibility for governance: The Government should remain the ultimate guarantor of social security rights, while the financiers/contributors and beneficiaries should participate in the governance of schemes and programmes.
