25 SENIOR GOVT OFFICIALS LEAVE FOR SEMINAR IN CHINA.

Secretary to Service Commissions, Dr. Tsitsi R. Choruma bade farewell to a group of 25 Senior Government Officials that are leaving for a three-week Bilateral Seminar on Public Management in China. Dr. Choruma advised the group to maintain teamwork and professionalism during the three-week tour.

The Team was challenged to be transformative and demonstrate that they are fit for purpose cadres by customizing lessons learnt in China. Successful input to the development trajectory under Vision 2030 was a prerequisite for consideration amongst a cohort of leaders that the Commission is grooming.

The course content for this Seminar is tailormade for Zimbabwean participants.

The Secretary added that one being in Management was not synonymous with one being a leader. Developmental public servants were an example of leaders, outstanding individuals who enhanced service provision for national development to the satisfaction of the citizenry.

Job Evaluation Report Presentation Workshop held In Harare

Chairman to Service Commissions, Dr. V. Hungwe gave a the keynote address to Permanent Secretaries and senior civil servants at the Job Evaluation Report Presentation Workshop in Harare today. He explained the job evaluation as a fulfillment of the Commission’s 2021-2025 Strategic Plan. The Plan, amongst other issues, provided for Public Service Reforms to address identified challenges in the Public Service.

The Chairman explained that the Commission engaged the services of consultants, Manpower Builds Business (MBB) Training and Development in order to minimize subjective evaluation and enable rational, consistent and transparent decisions to be made about roles.

Dr. Hungwe revealed the job evaluation exercise had not been conducted for two decades, yet the expectation was that it be done every 3years. Challenges had begun to emerge in the Public Service including redundant jobs; lack of career progression; duplication and mismatch between grades which necessitated this Job Evaluation.

In her welcome remarks, the Secretary to Service Commissions, Dr. Tsitsi R. Choruma informed participants that this job-evaluation was a bold intervention strategy by the Commission to intensify and accelerate the transformative agenda to reform the Public Sector in line with Vision 2030.

Dr. Choruma indicated that Commission had been besieged with requests for upgrading and re-grading of posts and salary queries. The absence of internal equity controls between posts with the same titles and duties had made decision-making difficult.

The Minister Of Public Service, Labor And Social Welfare, Hon. Prof. Paul Mavima officially opened the three-day Ninth (9) Edition Of Continental Africa Public Service Day Commemorations on behalf of the H.E. the President, Dr. E.D. Mnangagwa on 23 June 2023 in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

Minister Mavima expressed Zimbabwe appreciation to hosting the event for the second running adding that Zimbabwe merited continental integration as a solution to the continent pressing challenges.
The Minister spoke of the expected rise in labour force from 500 million currently, to a staggering 676 million by 2030. Unemployment for more than 30% youths and over 40% young women was the worst in the world and needed to be addressed.
The Hon. Mnister added that the economic and social vision for Africa needed a fit-for-purpose African Public Administration that is transformed to have a developmental mindset, high-performance and unquestionable integrity.

The vice of corruption and bad governance were pointed out by the Minister who added that it cost Africa billions of dollars annually, resources necessary for vital public services and infrastructure.
The Africa Public Service Day Conference and Plenary session ended with closing remarks from Minister Mavhima & a Victoria Falls Declaration. Ethiopia also agreed to host the next edition of the Africa Public Service Day.

The 9th Edition of Africa Public Service Day's commitment to action and see through the operationalization of AfCFTA pleased the Minister as it would be a dream come true for aspirations of Africa's founding fathers and legendary ministers who met in Marrakesh in 1994.

Minister Mavima expressed confidence on the synchrony of APSD ideas for AfCFTA along with those of Agenda 2063 as well as those of the Sustainable Development Goals saying it made them highly likely to be achieved.

Thanking delegates and organisers, the African Union on behalf of H.E. the President Dr. E.D. Mnangagwa and the people of Zimbabwe, Minister Mavima said it was Zimbabwe’s pleasure to host and would gladly do it again in future. He further thanked Ethiopia for agreeing to host the 2025 Edition of APSD.

CHAIRMAN, DR. VINCENT HUNGWE PRESENTS A PAPER ON THE MAIN THEME AT THE AFRICA PUBLIC SERVICE DAY COMMEMORATIONS … 22.06.23

Chairman to Service Commission in his capacity as Chair PSC Chair, Dr. Vincent Hungwe presented a paper on the main theme, “The African continental free trade area (AfCFTA) will require a fit for purpose African public administration to succeed.” An expert Dr Mataywa Busieka dissected the presentation alongside Panelists Prof. Ludeki Chweya, of the Kenya School of Government (KSG).

Dr. Hungwe told the Conference that by celebrating Africa Public Service Day (APSD), this was, in essence, the celebration of the public servants’ successes. He then called for concerted efforts to implement the continent’s programmes and projects for the benefit the African citizenry.

The Chairman explained that the APSD theme called for a public administration and management whose performance was based on principles of competitiveness, timeliness, efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability for the continent’s highly expectant citizens. Citizens yearned for the creation of inclusive and sustainable product and service value, and supply chains that would underpin meaningful trade within the AfCFTA, added the Chairman.

Dr. Hungwe added that the challenges encountered in implementing the AfCFTA required the continent to re-affirm its deeply rooted connectedness and inter-dependence amongst member states for inclusive and sustainable economic growth, ‘leaving no one and no place behind’.

The Chairman, Dr Hungwe added that full implementation of the AfCFTA would unpack vital tools in sustaining and improving productivity and business competitiveness leading to opening up of borders and increasing mobility for a healthy cross pollination of ideas, skills transfer and innovation.

He told delegates that the implementation of the borderless continent demanded Political will by policy makers to eliminate of trade barriers among African countries. This needed continuous development of human capital for appropriate high levels of administrative institutional capital to deliver.

The Education 5.0 policy in Zimbabwe was cited by Dr. Hungwe as a good case in point that harnessed institutions of higher learning in heritage-based and outcome-focused national development designed for competitive, modern, industrial and trading economy.

The continent needed to embrace and transition to ICT-enabled systems in work streams at ports of entry to reduce fraud and corruption; reduction of language divide through multilingual capabilities; and creating effective monitoring, evaluation and data analysis systems to identify, understand and exploit areas of comparative and competitive advantage, market preferences and this would assist governments in making informed decisions.

Chairman, Dr. Hungwe concluded that, the unanimous ratification of AfCFTA by 54 countries stood to make the continent a single continental market with 1.3 billion people with a combined Gross Domestic Product of approximately US$3.4 trillion which would benefit our continent. This, the Chairman added, would take Africa to Agenda 2063, but needed Public Administration and Management systems to transform.

Secretary to Service Commissions, Dr. T.R. Choruma moderated the early plenary, SESSION 3 running under the sub-theme, “A developmental public administration that creates an enabling environment for investment value adding industries to maximize the benefit of the AfCTA framework”. Presentations to this session were made by Dr. Godfrey Kanyenze and Panelist were Steven H. Isaac, and Expert, Prof Ludeki, as well as Chweya of the Kenya School of Government (KSG).

Budget Must Motivate Teachers!

Zimbabwe Teachers' Association (ZIMTA) Chief Executive Officer, Dr Sifiso Ndlovu says the upcoming 2022 national budget must address the improvement in the working conditions of teachers through addressing salaries, benefits and living conditions.

The 2022 National Budget will be presented on 25 November 2021 at the Parliament Building.
"On the issue of the Pay we are looking forward to a Real Salary Rise not the norminal rise that we have seen in the past which is inflation related. We want a rise that changes and transforms the lives of educators, it must transform the education system, we are talking of a transformative education supported by this budget and meaning that it must transform the lives of learners, teachers and communities."

During the interview Dr Ndlovu empasised the need to invest more in the education sector.
"The budget announcement must provide for the gaps that we saw in 2020 and even backward to 2019 as Covid-19 came in and introduced a new factor of online education or virtual education. There is a need for us to invest in that area by ensuring that learners have got online services such as internet infrastructure as we missed big time in 2019 and in 2020," he said.

The 2022 National budget announcement is expected to bring some positives for teachers.
