The Tindouf wilaya branch of the National Social Security Fund for Non-Salaried Workers (CASNOS) has been running awareness campaigns among farmers and herders since May. According to its director, Abdelaziz Berhami, quoted by APS, the number of farmers enrolled has almost doubled in 2026 compared with previous years.
Social coverage costs 1,500 DA in monthly contributions. It includes health insurance, coverage of medicines, and cover in cases of disability and death. Contributions can be paid electronically, with arrangements that take into account the seasonal nature of farming. The fund works with the Chamber of Agriculture and organises field visits, notably in pastoral and border areas.
