01About the book

Pensions are about people: their work, their savings and their dignity in retirement. This handbook shows how that promise is kept in practice, from the trust deed that sets up a scheme to the pension payroll that pays a member for life.

Timothy Mukoba draws on more than two decades of designing and implementing pension administration systems across Africa. He walks through the whole cycle: types of pension plans, employer and member enrolment, contributions, crediting investment returns, income distribution, benefits processing, taxation, conversion of benefits at retirement, year-end processing and valuation, pensions payroll and annuities, fees and commissions, and asset-liability matching.

The later parts look ahead: technology in pension administration, actuarial foundations, pensions and financial inclusion, the future of African pensions, and the Member Outcomes Compliance Audit (MOCA), his framework for judging schemes by the outcomes members actually receive.

Throughout, the book uses comparative tables, worked examples and practical frameworks that can be applied directly in the administration of pension funds.

  • Administrators, who handle day-to-day scheme operations
