The government has announced the approval of 47,404 new job positions for the 2023/24 fiscal year, distributed across various regions based on workforce needs. This initiative aims to address employment gaps in critical sectors such as Education and Health. The recruitment process, managed by the Public Service Recruitment Secretariat, will be conducted at the regional level, ensuring that each region receives an appropriate share of the positions based on its staffing requirements.
Deputy Minister for the President’s Office, Public Service Management and Good Governance, Deus Sangu, disclosed this during a parliamentary session while responding to a question posed by Nachingwea MP, Amandus Chinguile. The MP questioned whether the current recruitment system sufficiently balances job allocations across regions, suggesting a need for a more equitable distribution model.
The Deputy Minister clarified that the current system is designed to ensure that each region receives allocations based on its specific workforce needs. He further emphasized the government’s commitment to addressing regional disparities in public sector employment by continuously refining the recruitment process.
The job vacancies have been advertised, and the interview process will commence soon, focusing on regional needs to enhance service delivery in vital sectors like Education and Health. This move is part of the government’s broader strategy to strengthen public services across the nation by ensuring that regions with higher demands are prioritized in the allocation of new positions.
The recruitment process is expected to be transparent and merit-based, offering equal opportunities for qualified individuals from all regions. The government’s initiative reflects its commitment to improving public service delivery by addressing staffing shortfalls in critical areas, thus promoting regional development and reducing unemployment.
This development is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to enhance national capacity and ensure that public services are accessible and effective across the country. The process will be closely monitored to ensure fairness and transparency, with the aim of achieving a well-balanced workforce distribution that meets the specific needs of each region.
