Social inclusion in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is in the jurisdictions of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, which has several sectors that cover social inclusion according to target group or competence, and the Ministry of Education and Science covers social inclusion in formal education through different sectors. Both ministries have delegated their responsibilities to a cantonal level.
In Republika Srpska, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare is in charge of social issues. The Ministry has a Department of Social, Family and Child Protection, which provides assistance in the development of policies to improve the social protection of children and youth, and support young people with disabilities for work training.
