Governance and performance of social security organizations: the case of Burundian organizations of a public nature

Résumé

Burundi is a country in sub-Saharan Africa and registered among the poorest on the planet. In this country, poverty and economic and social vulnerabilities are the watchwords of the majority of the population. The national social protection system should be designed to curb these evils or at least reverse the trends. In Burundi, the major social security bodies are of a public nature: the Mutual of the Public Service for State employees and similar, the National Institute of Social Security for State employees under status and agents of the structured private sector and the National Office for Pensions and Occupational Risks for contracted state officials, magistrates and law enforcement officials.  They are three of the personalized administrations of a public nature. The governance, performance and sustainability of these organizations is therefore everyone's business, all the more so with their current or potential affiliates. It is with this in mind that this article is based on drawing inspiration from them. Concretely, to obtain essential information, this empirical study was made up of a sample of 105 university-level people working in the public and structured private sector.
