Modern innovations and progressive practices in the modern world are in the foreground and are evaluated highly. This is confirmed by the fact that over the past days, the DOST agency under the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population and the State Social Protection Fund has been awarded four prestigious international awards.
As President Ilham Aliyev stated, “Doste centers reflect the face of modern Azerbaijan.” The DOST concept, initiated by First Vice President Mehriban Aliyeva, has already begun to recognize in the world as a brand of our country. The provision of 154 services through the Single Window system is effective, transparent and convenient for citizens in the image should have been met with interest at the international level.
As a result, the Dost concept competes with the advanced practices of developed countries and wins in competitions.
Recently, three Dostst projects have won success among experts of the International Association of Social Support.
At the same time, in recent years, the State Social Protection Fund has undergone radical reforms. The quality and flexibility of executive processes in the field of social security is increasing. Management is improved and optimized. The transition of the fund from the “administrative approach” to the model of “servicing citizens” is the key success of its reforms.
Today, this structure has a transparent, more convenient and affordable network service network. The appointment of social benefits is initiated by the electronic system. Citizens’ rights to social security are guaranteed on the day of the establishment of these rights, without the need to submit documents.
All these reforms attracted the attention of the International Association of Social Safety, and the State Fund was awarded a prestigious international award.
So, at the European Social Support forum in Tallinn, two organizations – the DOST agency and the State Social Protection Fund – received four international awards.
It should be noted that these awards were awarded by decision of an independent international jury for the best, advanced experience in Europe.
Thus, today Azerbaijan stands out in the European space for its best practices in the social sphere and wins in competitions with the participation of developed countries.
And this is not the first success. More recently, the DOST agency has become the laureate of the European Social Services Award of the European Social Network, the International Association of Pension and Social Funds. And the State Fund of Social Protection became the laureate of the British SSPF ISE – The Public Sector Transformation Awards and the International Association of Pension and Social Funds.
That is, this year the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population was awarded 8 international awards and aimed at continuing to achieve success.
