Updated guidelines to support families on aid
The Ministry of Social Development has issued new guidelines to empower National Assistance families economically and socially for the year 2026. The aim is to gradually shift them from reliance on cash aid to self-sufficiency through training and qualification programs, employment opportunities, and support for small projects and home-based businesses. The programs target unemployed individuals seeking work, those in transitional educational stages, and household heads who support these groups, with a monthly transportation allowance ranging from 50 to 65 dinars, depending on the case. Additionally, grace periods for income are set when family members engage in work or projects, along with clear conditions for continued support and exceptions for individuals who secure jobs in the public sector or whose social security contributions exceed a certain number. It has also been specified that costs must be reimbursed if beneficiaries withdraw from the program before completion without an acceptable excuse, with support continuing during the period of participation to ensure a sustainable transition toward reliance on sources of income.
