It also prepares and implements related programs and services for all categories of beneficiaries of social security services and provides social security services to beneficiaries.

Among the future projects that the Ministry targets within its plans, according to what was stated in the State’s Internal Achievements Guide issued by the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, is the rehabilitation of working-age social security beneficiaries for the labor market, providing suitable job opportunities for them. The strategic project is community markets and the Family Empowerment Fund through the Productive Families Financing Project. It builds a database for productive families and creates a database for the elderly and the disabled based on terms of reference. Developing a law on the rights of the elderly and studying challenges and strategies for transitioning from school to work (people with disabilities) are also done under the project. This project is to enhance and develop social development centers.

Closer relations and cooperation with Jordan, Germany, Norway, Australia, and Singapore are about the fields of transferring expertise for social protection programs.
