The National Social Security Fund of Cameroon has a total of 39 Centers spread across the entire national territory with the aim of bringing the services offered by the CNPS as close as possible to users.
Placed under the authority of a Center Head, the Social Security Centers are the interface between the CNPS and users in various localities. As such, they are responsible for registering employers and workers, collecting contributions and paying various benefits.
The CPS also ensure the defense of the organization's interests while maintaining high standards in terms of quality of service. As needed, they are also responsible for reissuing the accounts of their management unit, thus carrying out almost all of the missions accomplished at the level of the central body of the CNPS.
While all the Social Security Centers have the same missions, two have specific functions. The CPS of the Informal Sector of Yaoundé and Douala were expressly created to allow self-employed workers as well as those in the informal sector to benefit from social security coverage.
