The Project aims to change the current pension system into a Funded Defined Contribution System like in other countries to reduce the burden for the government and make the pension system sustainable in the long term. The project also involves the establishment of a Central Provident Fund, development of IT- based infrastructure and defining the role of the pension organization. Currently, the Central Provident Fund system will cover the public sector as priority. But in future, it will extend to the private sector.
