The objective of the training course was to develop capacity among participants in improving the contribution collection and social security coverage in rural areas. The training focused on practical aspects of the social security administration based on ILO principles, International Social Security Association (ISSA) guidelines as well as good practices of the Polish social security system in particular. This training also provided opportunity to learn the challenges facing the social security inspectors in rural areas in Albania. Based on this information, ILO will develop a short policy note on this topic.
