Social Affairs DirectorateGovernment

The Social Affairs Directorate (Direktorat za socialne zadeve) is a governmental body operating within Slovenia's ministry responsible for social affairs. It is tasked with developing, regulating, and overseeing the national social security framework, welfare programs, poverty reduction measures, and social care services. Formally established as a directorate during the public administration reorganization in 2003, it builds upon national social welfare structures operating since Slovenia's independence in 1991.
