By the end of 2026, the National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT) is expected to emerge as a stronger, smarter, and more people-focused institution under the leadership of its Director General, Mr. Fuad Daboh. His goal is clear: to build a financially stable, technologically modern, and socially responsive institution that stands at the center of social protection and national development in Sierra Leone.
Since taking office, Mr. Daboh has rolled out an ambitious reform agenda rooted in sustainability, efficiency, accountability, and inclusion. Vision 2026 is more than a policy document—it represents a bold pledge to reshape how social security supports workers, pensioners, employers, and the nation at large.
Expanding Protection and Rebuilding Confidence
A core objective of Vision 2026 is to broaden social security coverage across the country. Mr. Daboh is particularly focused on bringing more workers from the informal sector into the NASSIT system. Through increased enrollment and stronger enforcement of employer compliance, the Trust aims to secure reliable retirement benefits for contributors while rebuilding public confidence in the institution.
Pensioners also occupy a central place in this reform drive. The new vision prioritizes timely payment of benefits, faster and simpler claims procedures, and improved customer care, ensuring retirees receive what they deserve without unnecessary stress or delays.
Driving Efficiency Through Digital Innovation
Technology forms a key pillar of Mr. Daboh’s transformation agenda. Under Vision 2026, NASSIT is being repositioned to fully embrace digital systems for registration, contribution monitoring, benefit processing, and records management.
The shift to automated and secure digital platforms is expected to minimize errors, reduce fraud, and give contributors and pensioners easier access to their information. This modernization effort will significantly improve service delivery and bring NASSIT in line with international standards in social security administration.
Smart Investments for Long-Term Stability
Financial sustainability is another major focus of the Director General’s vision. By 2026, NASSIT is projected to operate a diversified, well-managed, and transparent investment portfolio that generates consistent returns while protecting contributors’ funds.
Planned investments in housing, infrastructure, and key productive sectors are designed to achieve two goals at once: strengthening the Trust’s financial future and supporting national economic growth and employment. Careful oversight, transparency, and due process remain guiding principles in all investment decisions.
Building People and Strengthening Institutional Values
Understanding that strong institutions depend on capable people, Vision 2026 places high priority on staff development and organizational culture. Mr. Daboh promotes continuous training, merit-based performance management, and a renewed commitment to professionalism across the institution.
By equipping staff with the right skills, tools, and ethical mindset, NASSIT will be better prepared to meet modern challenges and deliver higher-quality services to the public.
Inclusion, Collaboration, and National Impact
Inclusivity stands out as another defining element of the reform agenda. The Director General is working to deepen cooperation with government agencies, private sector employers, labor organizations, and development partners to widen coverage and strengthen compliance.
Under this vision, NASSIT is not only a custodian of workers’ future benefits but also a strategic partner in national development—supporting housing, infrastructure, and social stability while remaining true to its primary mandate.
A Future Anchored on Trust and Compassion
As the 2026 target draws closer, Fuad Daboh’s blueprint for NASSIT presents a clear direction: a modern, accountable, and resilient social security institution that places people at the center of its mission. Through innovation, responsible leadership, and inclusive policies, NASSIT is being reshaped to serve today’s workforce and protect the dreams of tomorrow’s retirees.
Ultimately, Vision 2026 is about building trust and showing care—trust that contributors’ money is safe and growing, and care that every worker’s years of service are rewarded with dignity, security, and peace of mind.
