Al-Mamlaka TV said Rabaa said that 100,000 families
benefit from NAF assistance, noting that the fund’s annual budget is estimated
at JD100 million.
The NAF is a financially and administratively independent
institution, he said, adding that the government has expanded the social
protection network through the unified cash support program, which targets
85,000 families and has a budget of JD100 million.
According to Rabaa, the COVID-19 pandemic affected the
family protection network, and was the reason for coming up with temporary
programs, including Takaful and Takaful 2.
Takaful 2 covered about 250,000 families, while another
160,000 families benefit from Takaful 3. The budget for both reached JD150
million.
Rabaa added that as a result of the pandemic, NAF
beneficiaries increased, and is expected to further rise by 8,000 to 10,000
families annually.
