Wafra Project Launched By GPSSA To Enhance Financial Literacy And Planning

The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) has introduced the "Advanced System for Proactive Financial Planning," named "Wafra." This initiative is part of its second cycle of transformational projects aimed at enhancing financial literacy among those covered by pension laws.

The project aims to foster a culture of proactive savings among pension law members. It encourages participants to engage in training programmes and workshops that promote financial independence beyond reliance on pensions. The initiative focuses on proactive financial planning, savings, and early investment through various training programs, workshops, and awareness campaigns.

Wafra seeks to raise financial planning awareness by 60% by training over 10,000 insured individuals. This includes new contributors, long-term employees, and university students entering the job market. The goal is to equip citizens with essential skills for managing their finances effectively.

Through agreements with the Abu Dhabi Global Market Academy and the Jahez platform, Wafra will provide financial awareness workshops and interactive master classes. These efforts aim to prepare government talent for the future and boost global competitiveness.

The UAE government's commitment to transformational projects aligns with its vision of adopting innovative governmental models that enhance national competitiveness. These projects aim for significant impacts across various sectors by leveraging advanced technology and strategic partnerships.
