10th Global Series: Africa Pensions, Social Security and Health Convention
The 10th Global Series on Africa Pension, Social Security, and Health Convention will take place in Cape Town, a
city renowned for its innovative policies and commitment to inclusivity. As Africa’s aging population and health
demands continue to grow, the convention offers a timely platform to explore solutions that strengthen pension
systems, advance social security reforms, and enhance healthcare strategies.
Cape Town’s proactive approach to social development positions it as an ideal host. The city’s policies, such as
providing essential services to low-income households and creating over 130,000 jobs through infrastructure
projects, highlight its dedication to addressing unemployment and fostering economic growth. The Department
of Social Development’s launch of the Social Security Review Volume 2 further demonstrates the city’s
leadership in promoting social protection as a stabilizer during economic and health crises like COVID-19.
In healthcare, Cape Town has implemented innovative strategies to reduce inequities and improve access,
integrating technology and robust urban planning to create more inclusive systems. These achievements align
with the convention’s objectives of driving sustainable economic growth, building resilient pension funds, and
fostering impactful collaborations.
This convention will serve as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and actionable discussions. Delegates
will learn critical themes, including universal health coverage, the economic impact of social security, and the
intersection of pension systems and poverty alleviation. By engaging with Cape Town’s exemplary practices,
participants will gain invaluable insights to shape the future of Africa’s social security and healthcare sectors.
