Announcement Description

The creation of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) in 2008 was a major milestone in the development of the Cambodian Social Security system. It allowed the establishment of Social Security as a dedicated policy area in Cambodia and for these policies to be carried into tangible actions. The financial and human resources put into the NSSF have made it the main actor in the implementation of Social Security system in Cambodia with three schemes covering 2.7 million people having been launched (i.e. Social Health Insurance (SHI), Employment Injury Insurance (EII) and more recently Pensions) and a fourth in preparation (i.e. Unemployment). This body has thus achieved unprecedented results in the implementation of a Social Security system.

Yet Cambodia currently still has a fragmented and under-resourced Social Protection system, with an overall low coverage both in terms of level of benefits and coverage. A low level of domestic resources allocated to Social Protection in comparison with some neighboring countries (1.19% of the Gross Domestic Product in 2021 according to Government Spending Watch) is one of the reasons behind the low coverage.

The existing NSSF schemes and operational modalities are partially adapted to deal with the uncovered populations. According to the 2019 Labour Force Survey from the National Institute of Statistics of Cambodia, 77.4% of the 7.9 million employed people work in the informal sector. Significant efforts need to be made to extend the coverage to this missing middle, largely made up of informal or self-employed workers. Since the women form most of the informal workforce, a more gender sensitive design of such coverage will be needed, while bringing up women workers’ needs and voices.

Customer Satisfaction Survey

  • Career Category: Expression of Interest
  • Location: Phnom Penh

Purpose

The primary purposes of this customer satisfaction survey are to:

  1. Determine the level of awareness about the NSSF schemes including the benefits and services available to members among the two SPIN project target groups, i.e. tuktuk drivers and domestic workers, as well as a specific group of workers among the self-employed.
  2. Measure the satisfaction level of the target groups with the quality and effectiveness of services provided by the NSSF and health facilities.
  3. Analyze target groups’ perception of services provided by the NSSF and health facilities and highlight strengths and potential shortcomings.

Methodology

The survey will adopt a mixed-method approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative research methods to obtain comprehensive and nuanced insights. It is expected that the sample size and percentage of interviewees having consumed healthcare and, if so, in a public or private health facility will be determined by the service supplier, in collaboration with the NSSF and GRET and according to the budget allocated for this survey.

Given that the NSSF has in-house capacity to conduct telephone interviews via its call center, it is suggested that the proposed methodology combines physical and telephone interviews to take advantage of NSSF resources.

Timeline

It is to be expected that the customer satisfaction survey will be organized over 3 months, from January to March 2024. The service supplier can use this indicative agenda to design its proposed timeline:

  • 22 November: TOR publication for 3 weeks (D)
  • 6 December: Submission of application from service suppliers (D+14 days)
  • 11 December: Selection (D+19 days)
  • Mid-December: Inception meeting
  • 15 January: (a) Inception report and final updated questionnaire
  • 30 January: Government approval of questionnaires (to be requested by the service supplier with the NSSF support)
  • January-February: (b) Conduct of the survey
  • 18 March: (c) Presentation of preliminary findings and report
