MoSD Implements Training to Enhance Professional Supervision in Directorates
Ramallah – As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen staff capacities and improve the quality of social services provided to citizens, the Ministry of Social Development, through the General Directorate of Case Management and in coordination with the Center for Treatment and Rehabilitation of Victims of Torture, organized a specialized training targeting professional supervision directors in the Ministry’s directorates across the West Bank governorates. This training comes within the Ministry’s commitment to promoting a professional approach to social work and enhancing staff capacity to monitor social cases through an integrated scientific and humanitarian framework that takes into account the needs of the most vulnerable families and individuals in Palestinian society. The training featured contributions from Mr. Wissam Sahweil from the Center for Treatment and Rehabilitation of Victims of Torture, along with Dr. Salim Odeh, Dr. Khalil Tannous, and Ms. Shurooq Nazzal. The program covered a range of theoretical and practical topics, including psychosocial support concepts, principles of effective professional supervision, and mechanisms for developing monitoring, evaluation, and communication skills between supervisors and field teams. Participants emphasized that this training reflects the Ministry’s dedication to building a fully professional system capable of addressing the growing challenges in the social protection sector through staff training and knowledge exchange with partner institutions—ultimately contributing to higher-quality services and tangible improvements in the lives of beneficiaries. The Ministry continues to implement a series of training programs in cooperation with national and international institutions, as part of its vision to develop a comprehensive social protection system grounded in professionalism and responsive to the needs of poor and marginalized groups across all governorates.
The Arab Forum for Public Finance and Budgeting kicks off in Beirut, calling for smart spending to achieve sustainable development
Beirut, With the participation of the Ministry of Social Development, represented by Mr. Ashraf Al-Barghouthi, Assistant Deputy Minister for Administrative Development and Planning, the First Arab Forum on Public Finance and Budgeting was launched this morning in Beirut under the theme “Enhancing Spending on the Social Sector and Achieving Fiscal Sustainability.” The forum was organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and held at the United Nations House in Beirut. The two-day forum brings together Arab ministers of finance, social development, and planning, alongside senior government officials, experts, and development partners, to exchange experiences and explore innovative financial solutions and policy approaches that enhance efficiency, equity, and fiscal resilience. The Arab region loses approximately USD 112 billion annually due to inefficiencies in social spending—equivalent to around 3.2% of the region’s GDP—which underscores the urgent need to develop smarter, fairer, and more sustainable public spending policies that accelerate progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In his opening remarks, Lebanon’s Minister of Finance, Mr. Yassin Jaber, stated that the Arab region has the capacity to recover from crises and move toward a new social contract based on restoring citizens’ trust in state institutions and their ability to manage public funds with justice and efficiency. He emphasized the importance of improving the targeting of social spending and directing resources toward productive sectors and investment in human capital as key pillars for building more resilient, equitable, and growth-oriented economies. He also expressed hope that the forum would serve as a practical step toward strengthening Arab cooperation in social spending and laying solid fiscal and economic foundations that contribute to a more stable and prosperous future for the peoples of the region. The forum builds on the findings of the Social Expenditure Monitor, developed jointly by ESCWA, UNICEF, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), which indicates that most Arab countries allocate a lower share of their budgets to social sectors compared with the global average. The report also highlights challenges related to weak monitoring systems and fragmented sectoral programs, which negatively affect the efficiency of public spending.

Ramallah – The Ministry of Social Development, through its Ramallah and Al-Bireh Directorate, conducted a comprehensive field training for staff working in several of its sheltering centers, in cooperation with the Palestinian Civil Defense and the Palestine Red Crescent Society, with the aim of enhancing their readiness to respond to emergencies and improving their efficiency in firefighting and evacuation procedures to ensure the safety of beneficiaries and staff within the centers. The training, held at Dar Al-Amal Center in Ramallah, included both theoretical and practical applications on public safety concepts, types of fire extinguishers and their proper use, as well as inspection of gas and electrical systems and handling small fires. It also involved preparing and implementing evacuation plans specific to each center, with a hands-on evacuation drill that included the participation of children and staff. The training targeted three main centers: the Child Protection and Development Center, Dar Al-Amal Center for Rehabilitation and Correction, and the Women’s Emergency Center in Beitunia, with the participation of all administrative, technical, and operational teams from these facilities. The activity was attended by Mr. Mohammad Atta, Director of Dar Al-Aman Center, along with teams from the Civil Defense, the Red Crescent, the Child Protection Center, Al-Irada Center, and several staff members from sheltering centers, totaling 33 participants from various categories. The Ministry emphasized that this training is part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen public safety and protection standards in sheltering centers and to ensure that staff are well-prepared to respond promptly and safely to any emergency situations, thereby providing a secure and stable environment for beneficiaries. It further noted that this training marks the beginning of a series of upcoming training sessions that will be conducted across different centers, in accordance with each center’s specific needs and evacuation plans, as part of the Ministry’s commitment to implementing the highest standards of safety and social protection.
