The aim of this project is to expand the social security system of Cameroon to Cameroonian migrant workers living in Belgium and by doing so, foster the cooperation between both countries.
Project outputs that will contribute towards this objective include:
• Building the capacity of local institutions in Cameroon to strengthen their knowledge on social security current policies;
• A feasibility study on the expansion of the social security, including recommendations;
• A survey of Cameroonian workers living in Belgium to collect information on their current social security coverage and their opinion on its eventual expansion in Belgium; and,
• Awareness-raising events to foster dialogue and increase knowledge on social security related matters among the Cameroonian diaspora in Belgium.
