The National Social Security Fund (CNPS) is a publicly-declared institution of Cameroon, possessing legal status and fiscal autonomy. Overseen by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, the CNPS operates under the guidance of a board of administrators, composed of labor representatives, employer delegates, and public authority representatives. The CNPS, founded on June 7, 1967, became a special public institution under the decree no. 354/2018 of June 7, 2018. Its duties include administering Family Benefits (PF), Senior Pensions, Disability awards, Death Benefits (PVID), and Professional Risks (RP). As a member of the Inter-African Conference on Social Security (CIPRES), CNPS implements the social protection policy of the Cameroonian government, offering services to insured employees and their dependents. These services comprise of: 1. Family benefits: child allowances, maternity leave coverage, medical expenses linked to pregnancy, and others. 2. Old-age, disability, and death benefits: retirement pensions, survivor's allowances, funeral costs, and more. 3. Workplace accidents and occupational disease benefits: medical cost coverage after immediate aid, prosthetic expenses, etc. 4. Health and social action services: educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and social care centers. To facilitate these functions, the CNPS amasses contributions from both employers and employees. Benefits exclusions apply to the unemployed, informal sector workers, and self-employed individuals. Therefore, only registered CNPS employees, who are salary holders due to their actual work period, are the beneficiaries of these CNPS-provided benefits. As for the CNPS infrastructure, there are 38 social care centers, a dedicated health center, two medical-social centers, and an educational institution in place. In 2019, the CNPS reported 38,620 active employers, a growth from 35,555 in 2018, and served 1,553,653 social security beneficiaries, a rise from the previous year’s 1,471,446. The CNPS is also responsible for housing a large array of sensitive information, including financial documents, accounting reports, backup data, client databases, Huawei network scheme, employees' and citizens' personal data, and insurance archive data. Additionally, it manages future network modernization schemes, as can be seen on their official website: https://www.cnps.cm.
