Reporter: social security fund aspires to draw 2 million affiliates by 2005

The Moroccan social security fund (CNSS) projects to increase the number of its affiliates to 2 million by 2005, Mounir Chraibi, the director general of CNSS told the "Reporter" weekly.

According to Chraibi, the reform of the agricultural sector and the draft law under scrutiny on social coverage of independent craftsmen would allow a greater number of people operating in these two fields to adhere to the social security fund.

He said CNSS plans to realize five major objectives, mainly concerning the entry into force of a compulsory health insurance, a compensation for job loss and pensions regime.

The director general added that the CNSS plans a reorganization of its system to be adapted to the objectives set.
