The Ministry of Social Affairs and its beneficiaries
The ministry was established in the first years following independence, but was either part of the Ministry of Public Health or the Ministry of Labor. It was only in 1993 that it became a separate entity.
The Ministry of Social Affairs was first created by Riad el-Solh during Bechara el-Khouri’s presidency in January 14, 1946. Kamal Jumblat was appointed Minister of Social Affairs (as well as Minister of Agriculture). The ministry was absent from the following four governments but returned during Abdullah al-Yafi’s tenure as Prime Minister to President Khouri in 1951. A law issued on June 5, 1958 named the Ministry of Social Affairs “the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs”. Read More (Free Access)
