His Excellency the Minister of Labour and Social Development, Mr Jameel bin Mohammed Ali Humaidan, chaired a meeting of the Ministry’s Senior Management for Planning and Follow‑up, with executive officials from all affiliated sectors, at his office in the Ministry’s headquarters. The meeting reviewed the progress of labour and social projects and assessed this year’s achievements in delivering comprehensive services to targeted segments of society—especially programmes to professionally qualify citizens for the labour market, create more quality employment opportunities, enhance development initiatives, strengthen the social protection system, and empower the Bahraini family economically and socially through support for family development projects. In this context, Humaidan underscored the importance of intensifying efforts to realise the esteemed Government’s aspirations to employ job seekers and raise living standards for Bahraini individuals and families within an integrated framework of Government support and social care. He affirmed that the Ministry continues to launch and implement qualitative initiatives to integrate Bahraini youth into private‑sector establishments, stressing the need to innovate further ideas and practical visions to sustain project momentum and safeguard the gains achieved in labour and social care. His Excellency highlighted that, in the coming period, the Ministry will diversify its creative initiatives and reinforce bridges of cooperation with relevant governmental and private entities to deliver tangible results, given the breadth and significance of the Ministry’s service mandate. He emphasised that the success of development projects reflects positively on social security and family cohesion—by maintaining unemployment within safe and reassuring limits—improving the production environment in the labour market, supporting ambitious projects for Bahraini youth to realise their professional aspirations, and advancing charitable and voluntary work through stronger partnerships with NGOs and Institutions of civil society.
