Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MOHR): Role in Saudi Vision 2030

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, known by the acronym MOHR (or HRSD in Arabic), occupies a uniquely consequential position within the Vision 2030 institutional landscape. While mega-projects and investment strategies capture international attention, the ministry’s work on labour market transformation, workforce nationalisation, and social safety net development addresses the structural challenges that will ultimately determine whether Vision 2030 creates durable prosperity for Saudi citizens.

The ministry’s mandate spans two vast domains: human resources, encompassing labour market regulation, employment policy, and workforce development; and social development, covering social services, the non-profit sector, and community welfare programmes. The combination reflects the Saudi leadership’s understanding that economic transformation and social development are inseparable objectives.
