Sector Strategy and Development (SSD) is a central policy directorate within the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) that oversees sector-wide policies and programmes to ensure (a) sustainable and well-planned services; (b) a competent and future-ready workforce; (c) future-ready social service agencies that deliver quality services, and (d) a well-resourced sector with active contributions from the community.

Under SSD, the Manpower Policy and Planning (MPP) division identifies sector-wide manpower challenges using analysis of manpower trends.
