The Ministry of Social Development and Family signed a cooperation document with Qatar Manpower Solutions Company Jusour to provide job opportunities for people with disabilities seeking work in the private sector. The Ministry’s role aims to implement policies related to family and social care in the State of Qatar and emphasize the importance of achieving strategic and national goals in the social protection sector in the country to support Qataris and non-Qataris from target groups such as persons with disabilities, in implementation of Law No. (2) of the year 2004 regarding people with disabilities.

This contribution aims to provide job opportunities for people with disabilities in the private sector on their abilities and needs, as personal interviews will be conducted with job seekers to determine the appropriate job for their qualifications. This cooperation is also considered an opportunity between the Ministry and Jusour Company to achieve the common goals.

For her part, Her Excellency Sheikha Sheikha bint Jassim Al Thani, Assistant Undersecretary for Family Affairs, said that the Ministry seeks, through the Jusour initiative, to activate its competencies towards persons with disabilities. It looks forward to providing suitable job opportunities to integrate and empower them functionally and socially, as the Ministry welcomes private sector initiatives regarding job seekers with disabilities.

She added that the State of Qatar was one of the first countries to ratify the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2008. Qatar is a pioneering country protecting the rights of persons with disabilities, noting that this matter is in the State 's National Vision 2030 and the National Strategy for Public Health and Mental Health.

As part of the Ministry’s endeavor to empower people with disabilities, the Ministry participated in the Career Day for Employing People with Disabilities, previously organized by the Civil Service Commission. About 35 job seekers registered on the Kawader National Employment Platform, and they had interviews. This step comes as part of the two parties’ efforts to facilitate procedures for employing people with disabilities in various agencies in the country to support and integrate them into society and to provide them with the necessary independence.
