The Social Insurance Diploma program has been designed for the following target groups:
  • Managers and staff of social security institutions or pension funds
  • Employees of insurance companies
  • Training units in national social security institutions
  • Representatives of key ministries involved in the development and administration of social protection, such as the ministry of Labor, Health, Social Affairs, Planning and Finance
  • Social partners and other non-governmental organizations concerned with social protection.

The Muhanna Foundation strongly recommends companies and institutions to nominate their employees for several SID modules in addition to those specifically related to their line of work, that is, in order to gain a wider perspective on social protection and pension benefits. Based on previous experience, and where possible, the participants should aim at taking all 4 modules for completion.

Participants come from different countries of the Arab World. Many are working in the field of social protection while others pursue a career in different but related fields. This diversity results in a stimulating mix of attendees who bring their work-related experiences into the classroom and young graduates who are often well-equipped with modern theoretical insights. This combination ensures that participants not only learn from lecturers or case studies but also from each other.
In addition to the workshop material, the module sessions have provided a platform for the exchange of experiences and information between those involved in social security and pension funds work in the Arab world.
