G. The right to social security 219. The Burkinabè government adopted a national social protection policy in 2012. The adoption of this policy and its action plan is a measure relating to the 2012 performance matrix of the Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development Strategy (SCADD) on issues of social protection of the population. The above-mentioned policy is structured around the consolidation of insurance and social assistance, health risks, economic risks and finally the national framework for discussions on social protection. The policy proposes relevant strategies to prevent and address the main risks and promote access to medical care, education, vocational education and employment for deprived and vulnerable people. 220. All the workers covered by the provisions of the Labour Code are as a matter of obligation subject to the social security regime. Also covered under this regime are Government workers, public and local government workers, who as a result of legal and regulatory regimes do not enjoy any specific social security scheme. Pupils or students in schools or vocational training centres and trainees are treated the same way as workers and enjoy the same social security coverage. 221. Apart from salaried workers who are covered automatically by the scheme, coverage can be extended to persons exercising a vocational activity which does not subject them as a matter of obligation to the social security scheme. Such persons have the option to subscribe voluntarily to the insurance scheme in accordance with Decree No. 002/MTSS/SG/DGPS of 10 March 2008 on the modalities for affiliation, settlements and payment of contributions under the voluntary insurance scheme. With regard to public workers, the social security takes into account the pension scheme, protection against occupational risks (Law No.22-2006 AN of 16 November 2006 on the prevention and redress of occupational risks applicable to civil servants, military personnel and magistrates ). 222. There are other types of community-based social security schemes such as the mutual health schemes. Brainstorming has been initiated with regard to the establishment a national health insurance scheme for all, through the sub-project « Universal Health Insurance”. Efforts have been made by the State and social security institutions for the improvement of social services. These efforts mainly touch on increases in pensions by 5% in 2007; 4% in 2009 and 5% in 2012. Another important aspect is the monthly payment of pensions which has been in force since 2009. The option for monthly payments is free. 56
