The Advisory Services Unit (ASU) of the Social Protection department (SOCPRO) of the ILO provides technical support to many countries to conduct the actuarial valuations of their social insurance schemes. For the conduct of these actuarial valuations, sufficient and reliable data from the SSI administrative systems, coherent with the data from the accounting systems are key to produce credible actuarial projections useful for decision making by the stakeholders.
