1. BACKGROUND TO THE COURSE
tradition of military pensions. The concept of ceasing to work in later life did not begin to spread to the rest of the workforce until the 19th century. Today, we think of a pension, in all the complexity of its different classes, as a series of payments to be made to workers after the end of their working years.
The “Pension Schemes Administration” course is crucial for workers of all walks of life, but more so for all staff of public and private pension schemes as a whole. The course equips participants with knowledge and skills on the functioning and governance of different types of pension systems, including their legal, legislative and regulatory frameworks as well as
and reforms. This is a very detailed, comprehensive and intensive three day’s course
modules of the course are;
1. PSA 01_Typology of Pension Schemes2. PSA 02_3. PSA 03_4. PSA 04_Pension Delivery mechanisms –

5. PSA 05_Evolution of Pension Reforms: Case study of recent pension reforms in East Africa & Eastern Europe.
