The discussions on the 2026 Ministry of Family and Social Services Budget have started.

The Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) Plan and Budget Commission has started detailed negotiations on the Ministry of Family and Social Services' 2026 budget. These important discussions are held under the chairmanship of AK Party Samsun Member of Parliament Mehmet Muş, and they are of great importance for the future of our country's social service policies.

In recent years, significant increases have been observed in the budget of the Ministry of Family and Social Services. The details of the budget set for 2026 will provide critical data regarding social assistance programs and family support systems. In particular, investments aimed at strengthening social solidarity and mutual aid will play a vital role in improving the living standards of citizens.

During the TBMM commission meetings, policies addressing children, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities are also expected to be discussed. New projects may come to the agenda in line with the goals of preserving family unity and increasing the accessibility of social services. In this context, the effects of the pilot projects implemented by the Ministry of Family and Social Services will also be debated.

Moreover, in the budget discussions, evaluations will be made not only on the expenditures in the social services field but also on the sustainability and effective management of the budget. Experts state that these processes represent an important step towards increasing social welfare and effectively using public resources.

All these developments emerge as elements that should be closely monitored regarding how social policies in Turkey will take shape and how social support mechanisms will evolve. In particular, the figures and strategies that will be announced after the budget negotiations will indicate the direction that social services will take in the coming years.
