New Proposal Seeks to Create a Ministry of the Family for More Efficient Social Policies

A new legislative proposal aims to merge three key institutions into a Ministry of the Family, streamlining public policies for children, adolescents, youth, and women. The initiative, presented in the Senate, seeks to centralize efforts and optimize resources, ensuring better coordination in programs that support vulnerable groups.

By integrating the Ministry of Women, the Ministry of Children and Adolescents, and the National Youth Secretariat, lawmakers believe this new structure will enhance efficiency and reduce administrative costs. Supporters argue that a unified approach will strengthen policies that promote family well-being and social development.

As the proposal moves through the legislative process, discussions will focus on its technical, functional, and budgetary implications. If approved, it could mark a major shift in how family-centered policies are managed and implemented. Source: RDN
