Evolution of the Rural Industries Fund
Engineering Enji Al-Yamani, the Executive Director of the Rural and Environmental Industries Support Fund, confirmed that reviving the fund's role after 70 years of its establishment comes as part of a new vision by the Ministry of Social Solidarity. This vision aims to achieve sustainable economic empowerment for the most vulnerable groups, moving away from solely relying on temporary cash aid. She explained that social protection includes helping families return to the labor market by providing them with sustainable sources of income, and that the matter goes beyond merely offering financial assistance. She pointed out that the fund, which was established in 1956 and operates under the umbrella of the Ministry of Social Solidarity, focuses on supporting rural and environmental industries for groups that may not have access to banking services or other empowerment programs. Its reactivation comes after developing its capabilities to strengthen its role in supporting the market and adapting to current needs.
