National Social Security Authority

In Zimbabwe the National Social Security Authority (NSSA), constituted and established in terms of the NSSA Act of 1989, is the statutory corporate body tasked by the Government to provide social security. The provision of social security can be defined as instituting public policy measures intended to protect an individual in life situations or conditions in which his/her livelihood and well being may be threatened, such as those engendered by sickness, workplace injuries, unemployment, invalidity, old age, retirement and death.
