The family minister reported 517 applications accepted nationally, including 359 submitted by women. These figures concern professional accreditation, rather than new jobs.

The scheme operates under Law 45.18 governing the profession. According to the regional Entraide Nationale official quoted by Infomédiaire, applications go through a platform and then an interministerial commission. Social worker Jamila Buina highlighted the recognition’s value for her work with associations.
