81227064-Indo-German Social Security Programme

GIZ has been advising the Indian Government on the design and implementation of RSBY since 2008. In 2011, GIZ’s advisory role was expanded with the establishment of the Indo-German Social Security Programme (IGSSP). IGSSP is strongly involved in advising the Indian central and state governments on the design and implementation of PMRSSM as well as the transition from RSBY into PMRSSM. IGSSP applies different methodological approaches. It combines technical and sector-specific advisory services along with process and organisational consultancy in order to harmonize social security programmes. It also provides training and skill development. The project works at various levels and implements measures in the 2 operational areas (1) health insurance and (2) coherence and convergence of social security programs. IGSSP is implemented on behalf of the German federal ministry for economic cooperation and development (BMZ) and is currently commissioned until April 2020.
