The National Social Security Fund (NSSF), in partnership with the International Labour Organization (ILO), has successfully concluded a project aimed at enhancing the digital management of social security records in Lebanon. This achievement marks an important step forward in the implementation of the new pension scheme introduced under Law 319/2023, which amends key provisions of the Social Security Law to provide adequate and sustainable protection during old age for individuals enrolled in the NSSF.
With funding from the UK government through the project “Supporting Social Security and Institutional Reforms Towards a Strengthened Social Protection System in Lebanon,” the ILO provided technical assistance to the initiative.
A specialized data entry firm was engaged to digitize a backlog of approximately 850,000 individual records from nominative yearly declarations covering the period from 2021 to 2024. In a subsequent phase, these digital records underwent a rigorous validation process to ensure their accuracy and completeness before being integrated into the NSSF’s central database.
This project plays a critical role in maintaining a reliable and up-to-date database, which is essential for evidence-based policymaking. It enables technical analysis for informed decision-making, particularly in addressing the end-of-service indemnity challenge and facilitating the smooth rollout of the new pension scheme. Importantly, it also ensures that all accrued benefits are accurately recorded, safeguarding contributors’ rights and reinforcing the transparency, integrity and sustainability of Lebanon’s social protection system.
