The Ministry of Social Development and Assistance, Family and Fight against Hunger (MSD)[2] (Portuguese: Ministério do Desenvolvimento Social, Assistência, Família e Combate à Fome, MDS) is a cabinet-level federal ministry in Brazil.

History[edit]

The ministry was established in 2004 from the merger of the Special Ministry of Food and Nutritional Security, the Ministry of Social Assistance, and the Executive Secretariat of the Inter-ministerial Manager Council of Bolsa Família. It administers Bolsa Família, the National Social Assistance Fund (SANF), Industry Social Service (SESI), Commerce Social Service (SESC), and Transport Social Service (SEST).[2]

Under the Presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, the ministry was incorporated into the Ministry of Citizenship, together with the Ministry of Sports and Ministry of Culture.
