Is there a role for the population in the administration of the HSF? The answer is without doubt YES. Without doubt, public understanding of the importance of the HSF and public buy-in to the programme are critical to the success of the HSF. And the HSF Board intends to adopt an active communications strategy.
For example, the public should be convinced of the need to put aside savings for future generations rather than to spend for current consumption. •  The communication strategy is also important to counter misinformation and misperceptions, for example, by explaining the rationale behind the transfers to the Fund and withdrawals from the Fund, when they become necessary.
