 The reform of social security enactments to bring them in line with current trends and facilitate their implementation by consolidating them into a Code. The Committee has already established it and the Consultant has been recruited with the help of the ILO. The purpose is to review the legislative and regulatory provisions governing the National Social Security Fund (CNSS). To achieve this, an inventory of all the legislative and regulatory enactments will be carried out with a view to updating the legal framework governing the institution and adapting them to the current Nigerien context. Against this background, a government seminar on dialogue for the establishment of a national social protection floor was held in July 2018 including the first national forum on the retreat held in September 2018. 509. The Nigerien Social Mutual Agency (ANMS) established by Decree No. 2015-474/PRN/MET/SS of 4 September 2015, is conducting activities as part of the reinforcement of the social mutual benefits of workers through the provision of additional medical coverage. The Strategic Mutual Health Development Plan aims at contributing to maternal and infant-child mortality through alternative financing mechanisms and community participation in health. The overall objective is to improve financial access to quality healthcare and services through community-based mutual health schemes and businesses. 510. The specific objectives of the Strategic Plan are to extend mutual health coverage to all regions of the country; contribute to the improvement of the mutual health environment; strengthen the financing mechanisms of the community-based mutual health schemes; develop the technical capacity of mutual health services; deepen dialogues among the various stakeholders involved in mutual health, encourage the beneficiaries of CNSS services to resort to insurance campaigns for the benefit of their members especially for businesses with the requisite resources. 511.

The aim of this cost assessment of options is to calculate, analyse and inform the stakeholders involved in the national dialogue about the costs of options selected as a means of assisting the country in its decision-making process regarding the social protection floor (SPF). A validation workshop of this study was organized from 28 to 30 June, 2016 in Niamey. It brought together all the stakeholders in the area of social protection and the preparation of the roadmap is underway. 512. The modernization of services of the CNSS is on-going through computerization of the processing of documentation in order to improve the conditions of service of the staff and the quality of service and to minimize any risks of error in the processing of documents at both central government level and in the regions and also to promote effective control of the cost of services. 513. Some bodies within the central government and employees of State-owned enterprises, parastatal companies and private organizations have established professional mutual health agencies and are operating at various levels of success. In addition to healthcare, these mutual agencies are developing services such as death benefits, financial assistance in the event of disasters, compensation for retirements etc. 514. The Government is also in the process of establishing a mutual health scheme for public servants. The legal framework for such a mutual scheme has already been defined. 515.
