At the same time, CNRPS contributes to reinforcing the social choices of the government, basically by financing house building for rent and granting different loans at moderate prices and interest rates in the social environment field.

Thus, it builds residential complexes with all commodities, in all districts of the Republic’s department ; which had a beneficial impact on the rent costs practiced on the market, especially in some regions.

After its creation in 1975 following the fusion of the National Office of Retirement, concerned with pensions, and the Social Security Office, concerned with social cover (both established in 1959 after the independence of the country), CNRPS became a public institution with a financial autonomy and a civil entity that gave it a legal power and a management autonomy.

Having reached the age of maturity, CNRPS has progressively modernized its management operations and tried to be closer to its affiliates. These operations were further reinforced after 1987.

CNRPS provides services to about 630 thousand affiliates. Taking into account their heirs, the population benefiting from social cover reaches about 3 million persons.The National and Social Security Fund (CNSS) serves the rest of the Tunisian population with social cover regimes.

In fact, the social security management, in Tunisia, is shared between three funds : CNRPS that deals with the public sector CNSS that deals with the private one and CNAM thart deals with sickness cover.

The Ministry of Social Affairs, Solidarity and Tunisians abroad provides the major guidelines of the big choices through the management authority that is the administration Council.

It is to be noted that the social cover regimes managed by CNRPS are intended for all employees of the public sector without sex or nationality distinction ; foreign contract-based workers have exactly the same advantages as the Tunisian ones.
