The client week of a Congolese public pension fund was launched in Lodja, Sankuru province, in the central Democratic Republic of the Congo. This was announced by the Congolese press agency on October 7, 2026. According to Youssouf Mukenge, head of the CNSSAP/Sankuru office, the event aims to educate the population and public agents about the objectives and operations of the Caisse nationale de la sécurité sociale des agents publics de l’État (CNSSAP).

The client week is dedicated to explaining the goals and functioning of CNSSAP to public agents and the population. This will enable them to prepare for interactions with the services of this public establishment. Mukenge praised President Félix Tshisekedi and Vice-Prime Minister Jean Pierre Lihau for reviving the activities of this public structure. He emphasized that CNSSAP was created to manage the social security of public agents and protect their families within a legally defined framework.

CNSSAP provides protection at every stage of a public agent's life, including retirement, disability, and survivor benefits. The institution offers pensions for physical disability, survivor pensions, and professional risk benefits. Mukenge highlighted that the client week is a way to pay tribute to the President and the Minister of Public Function for their efforts in reactivating CNSSAP.

The launch event began with a march by agents and the population from the CNSSAP office to the territorial office. The client week is an opportunity for CNSSAP to engage with its clients and provide them with essential information about its services. This initiative is part of the efforts to strengthen social security for public agents in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The province of Sankuru and the city of Lodja will benefit from this awareness campaign. Public agents and the population will have the chance to learn about the advantages of CNSSAP and how to access its services. The client week is a significant step towards improving social security and protecting the rights of public agents in the region.

Youssouf Mukenge and his team will be available to answer questions and provide information about CNSSAP during the client week. They will also distribute educational materials and offer guidance on how to navigate the institution's services. This initiative demonstrates the commitment of CNSSAP to serving its clients and promoting social security in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The client week of CNSSAP in Lodja is a positive development for public agents and the population in Sankuru province. It reflects the efforts of the Congolese government to improve social security and protect the rights of its citizens. The event will contribute to a better understanding of CNSSAP's role and services, ultimately enhancing the well-being of public agents and their families.
