Background Information

The roles and responsibilities have their genesis in the origins of the Ministers Programme. This can be traced back to the first Pan-African Conference of Ministers of Civil Service which was held in Tangiers Morocco, between the 20th and 21st June 1994. The second conference was held in Rabat Morocco, between the 13th and 15th December 1998. The third was held in Windhoek Namibia, between the 5th and 6th February 2001. South Africa hosted the fourth Conference from 4th - 7th May, 2003 in Stellenbosch.

The Stellenbosch Declaration shifted the responsibility to drive the continental Public Service Programme to African Union (AU) and its Member States. South Africa was elected Chair of the Conference of Ministers at this conference. The 5th Conference was held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 14th – 15th December 2005. The Addis Declaration addressed the need to provide concrete guidance for challenges experienced and lessons learnt during the 4th and 5th Conferences. This made it necessary to develop the roles and responsibilities for the Ministers Programme as hereinafter provided.
