In various fields, public authorities have called on private partners to implement social security. They could clearly see that the active collaboration of free organisations could benefit the community.

The self-employed persons wish to have their own social security scheme meeting the specificity of the independent entrepreneurship and follow specific priority rules with regard to the satisfaction of their needs.

The social insurance funds (SIF) are thus, as institutions collaborating to social security, closely implied in the implementation of the social security of the self-employed workers.
 

This situation is in fact the result of the role these institutions played in the setting up of the first free social insurance funds. Along time, they proved their usefulness and efficiency. In fact, SIF form an essential piece in the realisation of the social statute.
