The Government Institutions Pension Fund (GIPF) says it will be taking its member education campaign to the Omaheke Region, as it seeks to fulfil its mandate to ensure that its members are knowledgeable about their benefits and how the Fund operates.
The following constituencies of the Omaheke Region are earmarked to be visited: Otjinene, Eiseb, Gam, Epukiro, Otjombinde and Aminuis.
“Our main target is reaching members who are in very remote areas of the region and who find it difficult to visit or access our services. Therefore, the GIPF team will be visiting schools, clinics, veterinary services, government ministries and police stations in the region,” GIPF’s Manager: Marketing Services, Amos Kambonde said.
He said to ensure that the GIPF renders state-of-the-art services to its members, the Fund launched its first ever 4×4 mobile truck in February this year.
“The truck, passionately branded as “Pension on Wheels”, offers services such as printing of benefit and income statements. Our experienced client service consultants on duty are also able to attend to queries regarding claims, outstanding admissions, tracing of beneficiaries, and the provision of retirement advice, to mention a few,” Kambonde said.
“We encourage all the GIPF members in the Region to be on the lookout for our mobile team, who will be offering interactive information sessions between the 11th to the 20th October 2021. Members seeking specific updates related to their benefits are always encouraged to bring their identity documents as well as their latest pay slips to the sessions.”
