1.0 Welcoming Remarks

The host of the meeting, Honourable Victoria Diogo, Minister for Public Service of the Republic of Mozambique, expressed her delight in welcoming the Bureau members to Mozambique and to the meeting. She said it was a great honour for Mozambique to host the Bureau meeting and the other meetings held back to back with the review of the African Charter on Values and Principles of Public Service Administration. She expressed her governments commitment to the CAMPS and pledged the continued support of Mozambique as rapporteur of the Conference of Ministers.

2.0 Opening Remarks by Chairperson

In his opening remarks, the Chairperson welcomed the delegates to the meeting and acknowledged the presence of Togo, Liberia and Algeria who were attending the Bureau meeting for the first time. He pointed out that the meeting in Maputo was unique as it had been preceded by an Inception Meeting on development of management guides, a service champions meeting and an All Africa Public Service Innovations Awards (AAPSIA) Steering Committee meeting which were all held back to back to the meeting on review of the African Charter on the Values and Principles of the Public Service and Administration that was held from 6th - 8th September, 2010. He said that the enthusiasm of the service champions in spearheading the identified thematic areas signified that the Ministers Programme was gaining momentum.

The Chairperson informed the meeting that as the 7th Conference of African Ministers for Public Service draws near, the focus and attention should be directed on concluding the planned programme activities agreed on at the start of the 6th Conference. He appealed to the Service champions who had yet to commence implementation of activities in their work plans to fast track the activities to enable the 6th CAMPS hand over agreed deliverables to the 7th Conference of African Ministers for Public/Civil Service.

The Chairperson informed the meeting that the Ministers of Public Service had opportunity to meet with the President of Mozambique early in the morning of 9th September, 2010 to brief him on progress made towards implementation of CAMPS activities.

The Chairperson concluded by thanking the government of Mozambique for agreeing to host the meetings and UNDP for its continued financial support to the Conference of Ministers Programme.

3.0 Adoption of Agenda

The Chairperson tabled the Preliminary Agenda for adoption. The agenda was proposed by Namibia and was seconded by Nigeria. The Agenda was adopted without any amendments.

4.0 Introductory Remarks by AUC Commissioner

In her remarks, the AUC Commissioner, Her Excellency Jolly D. Joiner (Mrs.) acknowledged the effort and energy provided by the Bureau under the overall leadership of Kenya in furthering the theme of the 6th Conference of
2

African Ministers for Public/Civil Service (CAMPS) which emphasizes the centrality of state capability for development and integration in the continent.

The Commissioner reported that due to the focused leadership of the Bureau and interventions of the Special Envoy of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Executive Council of AU at its 17th Ordinary Session in Kampala, Uganda held on the 25th July 2010, had adopted a decision on Public Service in Africa which, among others, referred the matter of establishing a dedicated Secretariat for the CAMPS at the level of the Commission to the Permanent Representatives Committee (PRC). She was hopeful that the PRC would be responsive to this high level decision in order to establish a more sustainable capacity for implementation of the Ministers Programme.

Commissioner Joiner applauded the service champions for their role in spearheading implementation of thematic areas and urged that though there may be challenges, there was need for patience as the process of realization of state capability was long-term.

The Commissioner said that in relation to the work of the Ministers Programme, Year 2011 would be very significant. This is because

deliberations of the African Union Assembly of Heads of State and Government Summit which is scheduled to be held in early 2011 will be centered on Shared Values with a focus on Governance and Democracy. It is anticipated that the reviewed African Charter on Values and Principles of Public Administration will be presented to this Summit for adoption. She
3

therefore advocated that besides using the opportunity of the Summit to highlight the continental governance agenda, it is crucial that the work of the Ministers Conference be made more visible. In this regard, participation of Member States will be crucial in order to drive the adoption by the Summit of key framework documents of the Conference of Ministers such as the African Charter.

She expressed her gratitude to the people and Government of Mozambique for their kindness in hosting the Bureau and other related meetings in Maputo.

5.0 Chairpersons Report to the Bureau

The Chairperson began his report by welcoming the members to 5th Bureau Meeting. He said that the adoption of the Work Plan during the Bureau Meeting held in Cairo in December 2009 set the pace for implementation of the program activities. He added that since then, commendable progress had been registered in all thematic areas and that the concept of service championship adopted by the Bureau as the delivery mechanism for program activities has worked extremely well. He expressed appreciation to all the service champions and Bureau members for their commitment, passion and dedication in carrying out their respective responsibilities. The Chairperson pointed out that the as a tradition, the Bureau meeting had been preceded by a service champions meeting at technical level to discuss various issues and make recommendations to the Bureau. He reported that the service champions had thus held series of meetings in Maputo from

Monday

6th

September

2010

which

had

discussed

and

made

recommendations on the issues which were before the Bureau. The Chairperson tabled his report which covered the following areas: i. Progress on implementation of resolutions made in the last Bureau meeting in Namibia ii. Finalization of the Long-Term Strategy of African Governance and Public Administration Programme (AGPAP) iii. iv. CAMPS Succession Preparations for the 7th Conference

On the progress made in implementation of resolutions from the last Bureau Meeting in Namibia, firstly touching on Bureau representation from the Central Africa Region, he reported that in spite of efforts made by his Office to reach out to the countries in the region, the issue of Bureau representation from Central Africa had yet to be resolved. The Bureau had requested AUC to assist by using their good offices to bring the Central Africa Region on board. Nigeria and Burundi had also indicated willingness to seek ways of reaching out to the countries in the region. He said he had not received any information yet on the success of these missions. On participation by Member States in the Ministers Programme, the Chairperson pointed out that during the tenure of the current Bureau, the number of service champions had increased from the initial 5 countries to 15. The West African region was the only region that had completely domesticated the Ministers Program regionally by taking up all the thematic areas. Unfortunately out of seven champions from the region, only four were
5

active. These included Nigeria and Ghana which had been joined by Togo. Benin, Senegal, Burkina Faso and Liberia had yet to actively take up their roles as service champions. To address this situation, the Chairpersons office and Ghana were planning to hold a mini ministerial meeting for Ministers from these countries before the end of November, 2010 to discuss their active engagement in the program. The Chairperson said he was impressed to note that some members of the Bureau had taken interest in the issue of poor participation by member States in the Program and had their own initiated action. He recognized the effort made by Nigeria to address the issue at the AUC. He requested Nigeria and the AUC Commissioner to apprise the Bureau on progress made so far.

On strengthening capacity at African Union Commission in order to effectively facilitate administration of the Ministers Programme, the Chairperson recalled that the Bureau had agreed in principle in previous meetings on this issue and requested member States to second officers to AUC at the cost of the seconding Member State. He reported that South Africa had responded to this request by seconding an officer to AUC for a period of two years. He commended South Africa for its support on this issue.

In regard to finalization of the Long-Term Strategy on African Governance and Public Administration, the Chairperson pointed out that the 5th Conference of Ministers had in its declaration taken note of the paper on the Long-Term Strategy of the African Ministers of Public Service and had emphasized that the Strategy be used as the basis for the future work of the

Ministers Programme. The Strategy paper recommended that further work be undertaken in terms of: 1. Defining implementation strategies and work plans for each of the six pillars proposed in the strategy; 2. Recommending institutional framework required for implementation of the Strategy taking into account its relationship, linkages, synergies and value-addition to the broader AU system as well as the existing and ongoing regional processes; and 3. Developing an implementation framework for the consolidated strategy including identifying indicators and timelines. The Chairperson informed the Bureau that his Office with the support of UNDP had advertised for consultants to finalize the Strategy. The consultants were expected to be on board by mid September, 2010 and the final report was to be ready by end of November, 2010. The Strategy was thereafter to be validated before presentation to the Conference of Ministers for adoption and subsequent implementation. The Bureau was invited to note progress in this area. On CAMPS succession, the Chairperson noted that as the 6th CAMPS was coming to end, one of the issues that threatened sustainability and eroded progress made was lack of a clear system to manage succession in CAMPS. This is because succession management in CAMPS had been handled in an ad hoc manner. This challenge was recognized during the last Bureau meeting where AUC was requested to assist in developing rules of procedure. AUC had advised that the Bureau may not need to develop rules of procedure for Ministerial Bureau meetings and that matters should
7

generally unfold in accordance with a consensual approach from members of the Bureau. This still left the challenge of ensuring retention of some institutional memory and ring fencing the gains realized in program implementation. The Chairman reported that the service champions discussed this matter and recommended the following proposals for consideration by the Bureau: A. Composition of the Bureau i. The composition of the Bureau be expanded to include the outgoing chairperson as a member of the Bureau; ii. The chairperson of CAMPS shall rotate to all regions of the continent provided that within each region the members shall designate their representation; iii. The chairpersonship of CAMPS may be retained in the same region for a duration of two terms; iv. Members of the Bureau shall be eligible for election for two terms of two years each; v. vi. Bureau membership shall reflect regional representation; and Members of the Bureau shall retire sequentially. At least three members of the Bureau will be eligible for reelection at any given time B. Tenure of Office of the Chairperson The chairperson shall hold office for a period of two years, provided that the Bureau may elect a chair for a further 2 years non-renewable;

 The chairpersonship of CAMPS is a regional entitlement. Each region entitled to the chairpersonship shall transparently determine its nominee for chair. Nothing contained in these rules should be read to imply that a sitting chairperson is entitled to two mandatory terms or that a sitting chairperson should not be eligible for re-election for a second nonrenewable term; and At the expiration of two years, the sitting chairperson shall vacate the chair and the region shall elect a new chairperson or re-elect the sitting chairperson. C. Principle of Rotation of Chairpersonship Each region and as many countries should have the opportunity, by application of rules of equity, to lead CAMPS; The next region eligible for the chairpersonship shall be determined by the Bureau taking into cognizance the focus of CAMPS for the strategic period and other considerations, provided that regions may indicate an interest to chair CAMPS at least a year preceding the elective Bureau. This is without prejudice to the current situation; When, for any reason whatsoever, a region fails to agree on its representative or to nominate one, the Bureau shall exercise its appointive power as per these rules; The out-going chairperson shall be an ex-officio member of the incoming Bureau for one term; and The in-coming chairperson should preferably have been a member of the Bureau or a service champion for at least one term provided that a member that meets the other criteria for chairpersonship may be electable as chairperson, the foregoing notwithstanding.
9

D. Eligibility Criteria for Election to the Bureau Commitment to CAMPS agenda, strategy, programs and ideals of good governance; Demonstrate commitment and readiness to mobilize national, regional, continental and international support for CAMPS; Demonstrate capacity to support CAMPS with technical expertise; Preparedness to champion/co-champion some of the CAMPS program; and Demonstrate commitment to the AU integration agenda. The Chairperson invited the Bureau to consider and make a decision on this proposal. The Bureau deferred discussions on strengthening capacity at

AUC/Institutionalizing the CAMPS structure at the AU, including succession arrangements for CAMPS in order to allow AUC and CAMPS Secretariat to jointly develop a comprehensive operations framework document for CAMPS to be tabled in the next meeting. The comprehensive framework document should detail the structures of the Programme (objectives, structures, leadership, operating mechanisms, capacity,

communications, resources) and be aligned to the general operational modalities for Specialized Technical Committees (STCs) of the AU.

The Bureau however noted the recent decision of the Executive Council of the AU at its Seventeenth Ordinary Session in Kampala, Uganda on the 25th July 2010 on Public Service in Africa which, amongst others things, referred

10

the matter of establishing a Secretariat at the level of the Commission to the Permanent Representatives Committee (PRC). In regard to the 7th Conference of African Ministers for Public/Civil Service, considering that the Conference of African Ministers was the apex body in terms of providing political guidance for the Ministers Programme and scrutiny of the reform agenda in the continent as informed by reports submitted by the Bureau of Ministers, the Chairperson reported that the service champions had discussed and recommended to the 5th Bureau the following as key deliverables to the 7th Conference of Ministers: a. Management Guides; b. The finalized Long-Term Strategy; and c. Reports on Implementation of Thematic Areas

The Chairperson indicated that in addition to the plans to finalize the LongTerm Strategy on African Governance and Public Administration Programme (AGPAP), consultants had been recruited for the thematic areas developing management guides and modalities for finalizing this assignment had been discussed by service champions at their Inception meeting. Consequently, the service champions had considered this issue and recommended to the Bureau to consider postponing the 7th Conference by a few months up to the first quarter of 2011 to allow finalization of the documents. The Bureau was invited to note this development and give guidance. In conclusion, the Chairperson invited the Bureau to discuss the Report.

11

The Bureau commended the Chairperson for the report presented for its comprehensiveness and clear indication of the way forward. It noted with appreciation the progress made towards implementation of the thematic areas.

On the participation of Central Africa Member States, the Bureau welcomed the offer by Nigeria and Burundi to continue their efforts to encourage the Central Africa Member States to participate in the Ministers Programme.

7.0 Presentation of Progress Reports by Service Champions

The following are the progress reports made by the service champions to the meeting:

Thematic Areas Developing Management Guides

Mozambique presented the progress report on behalf of the other service champions spearheading development of management guides in Human Resource Planning and Policy Architecture, Leadership and Management Development and Performance Management including Monitoring and Evaluation thematic areas.

It was reported that an Inception Meeting that had brought together the service champions and consultants recruited to develop the guides was held from 6th - 7th September, 2010 back to back to the meeting on review of the African Charter. The objective of the meeting was to create a common understanding on the terms of reference on development of the

12

guides and have consensus on the expected outputs and deliverables, methodology and timeframes, and management of the consultants.

It was reported that development of the guides will be a consultative process which will give due consideration to the different legal systems across the continent and that the guides should generally be user friendly and have an adoptive framework of code of service compatible to international standards. The tools developed should be applicable to all situations in the continent.

The duration of consultancy would be 70 calendar days. The timelines for delivery of specific targets and validation process of the guides were agreed on in the meeting and a Final Report would be completed by mid November, 2010.

Validation of the Zero Draft will be done by a reference group that would be constituted while validation of the 1st Draft would be carried out by an all inclusive meeting involving the reference group, all service champions and other member states. The CAMPS Secretariat would manage the consultants in consultation with the service champions and UNDP who are funding the process. All Africa Public Sector Innovations Award

It was reported that three (3) AAPSIA Steering Committee meetings had been held since the last report tabled in May 2010 during the Bureau Meeting in Namibia. The Steering Committee meetings were held to

13

prepare for an Adjudication workshop scheduled for October, 2010 and the Awards gala dinner during the 7th Conference.

On marketing and promotion of AAPSIA, it was reported that between May and July 2010, a team had visited Nigeria, Lesotho, Mauritius, Ghana, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Kenya and South Africa to promote AAPSIA.

Ghana and Egypt as co-champions had contributed substantively to the marketing drive within their regions by distributing the forms, translation and media exposure (Egypt). CAMPS Secretariat had also contributed to marketing of AAPSIA across the Continent. The marketing drive ended with the closing of submission of entries on 31st July 2010. A total of 131 entries had been received from ten countries namely Botswana, Egypt, Kenya, Ghana, Lesotho, Mauritius, Namibia, Rwanda, Tanzania and South Africa.

The secretariat of AAPSIA (South Africa), was reported to have commenced packaging the entries received in preparation for the Adjudication workshop. The process of appointment of adjudicators from all the African regions in was in progress. The lead champion was to share the full entries database with both the co-champions and CAMPS.

The AAPSIA champion and co-champions had taken up the responsibility of coordinating funding for the programme. As part of the support, it was reported that Egypt had sponsored marketing and translation of entry forms in the North African Region and reviewed the
14

scoring sheets. Ghana had offered to pay for the trophies and certificates for all the winners during the Awards ceremony. It had also offered to pay a stipend to adjudicators while Kenya through the CAMPS Secretariat had offered to cover costs relating to the Awards Gala dinner.

The main challenges to the implementation of this thematic area were given as funding. It was recommended that the Bureau should assist the Steering Committee to mobilise funding for the planned activities, amongst others, the Adjudication workshop, gala dinner and development of knowledge management products, including a Guide to Innovation Awards and the final AAPSIA report.

Africa Public Service Capacity Development

The lead champion of this thematic area reported that for management of the Programme, a Steering Committee led by the lead champion (Republic of South Africa) supported by the co-champions (Togo, Nigeria and Liberia), Office of the Chairperson of the Bureau (CAMPS Secretariat), Regional institutions (CESPAM, CAFRAD, ESAMI, ACDF) and Development Partners (donors) as Ex-Officio members had been constituted. The inaugural meeting of the Steering Committee was slated to be held by November 2010 with the purpose of finalizing the draft strategy and the programme proposals and to develop a detailed activity plan with short, medium and long term objectives.

On progress made, it was reported that a Consultative Meeting on the Continental Capacity Development Programme was held in Cape Town
15

in December 2009 which determined the landscape of capacity development initiatives existing in the continent; developed a Draft Strategy to implement the continental capacity development programme; identified mechanisms to implement the programme; and identified the Stakeholders to constitute a Continental Steering Committee.

The developed Draft Continental Capacity Development Programme Proposal as a draft working document would detail the historical perspective of the programme, purpose, theme, benefits, design, management, challenges and activity plan. The Continental Steering

Committee would be tasked with fine-tuning the document.

Togo and Liberia, who were attending the meeting for the first time, gave assurance as co-champions to work and support South Africa to realize the agreed objectives of the thematic area.

Africa Public Service Day (APSD)

The lead champion reported that the service champions in this thematic area had reviewed their Two Year Work Plan, prepared a report on the 2009 Continental APSD Celebrations held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; developed a guide/checklist on preparation and celebration of APSD; and took initial measures to establish a database on APSD celebrations across the Continent.

The report on the 2009 Continental APSD and guide/checklist aimed at establishing minimum standards on preparations and celebration of the
16

APSD had been submitted to CAMPS Secretariat for circulation to member countries for comments before submission to the next Bureau meeting for approval and adoption.

Member countries were requested to submit reports on their 2010 APSD celebrations to the CAMPS Secretariat and the service champions to feed into the developed database.

The Bureau commended Tanzania for championing the African Public Service Day thematic area and welcomed the offer by Egypt to host the next African Public Service Day in 2011. In addition, it recommended that Tanzania, Ghana and Namibia, meet with Egypt, the new host for 2011, to discuss and propose the theme for the 2011 African Public Service Day (APSD) and ensure proper briefing is done to enable Egypt host the celebrations. Information Communication Technology as an Enabler

The lead service champion for this thematic area reported that plans were underway to hold a conference by December, 2010 on E-Government in Africa. Capacity development workshops were also scheduled to be held by December, 2010. Post Conflict Reconstruction and Development

The lead champion reported that implementation of planned activities in this thematic had not commenced pending directions from AUC on how to progress. Liberia, which is a co-champion of this area, affirmed its

17

commitment and readiness to share experiences in reconstruction and development.

AUC reported that it was consulting the service champions in order to fast track implementation of activities in this thematic area by November, 2010 within the framework of the Peace and Security Council of AUC.

Public Sector Anti-Corruption

It was reported that following the resolutions of the Fourth Service Champions Meeting in Nairobi in April 2010, Draft Terms of Reference in on conduct of a baseline assessment on the current status of implementation of the African Union (AU) Convention on Preventing and Combating of Corruption had been circulated between the champion (Nigeria) and co-champions (Kenya, Tanzania and Burkina Faso). Feedback on this is yet to be received from the service champions before forwarding to it CAMPS Secretariat for the procurement of a consultant to undertake the baseline assessment. The existing self-assessment tools and reports of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), African Union (AU) among others will be adapted for the baseline assessment.

On collection and collation of data from member states using the proposed checklist (self-assessment tool), it was reported that this will be contingent on procurement of a consultant. On establishment of an InterAgency Task Force with membership drawn from the existing regional bodies for African-wide coverage, consultations were on-going. It was
18

reported that an Eastern Africa Regional workshop to share best practices on Public Sector Anti-Corruption was scheduled to be held in November 2010. The actual dates were to be communicated to CAMPS Secretariat. Three regional workshops have been planned for the

respective regions.

Kenya (through Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission) was considering hosting a continent-wide exhibition showcasing best practices by anticorruption agencies in Nairobi by November 2010 to coincide with the Annual General Meeting of the East Africa Association of AntiCorruption Agencies (EAAACA). The continent-wide workshop was anticipated to be a forum to share lessons learned and document continent-wide improvements in public sector anti-corruption initiatives.

African Charter on Values and Principles on Public Service and Administration

The progress report on this thematic area was covered under the Agenda as reported here below under the Experts Meeting on review of the Charter

The Bureau noted that significant progress had been made towards implementation of each of the thematic areas and urged the Champions to maintain the momentum. It reaffirmed the responsibilities of champions and co-champions in leading the thematic areas to ensure the successful achievement of set results.

19

8.0 Experts Meeting on the Charter

The progress report was presented to the Bureau by Nigeria as the Rapporteur of the Experts Meeting held from 6th 8th September, 2010 in Maputo, Mozambique to review the African Charter on Values and Principles of Public Service and Administration.

It was reported that the mandate for the meeting emanated from a decision of the Executive Council of the AU to convene an Experts Meeting to review and make amendments to the Draft Charter which was located in the overall Programme of the Conference of African Ministers of Public Service (CAMPS) and which was primarily entrusted with the responsibility of enhancing State Capability for Development and Integration in Africa. The Charter emanated initially from the 2nd Conference of African Ministers of Public Service. However, as the initial process on developing the Charter was outside of the African Union, the Ministers at their Conference in Addis Ababa in 2005 decided that the initial document should be reviewed and finalised for incorporation as a document of the African Union. After

meetings held in Algeria and South Africa, the Draft Charter was presented for adoption at the 6th Conference of Ministers as a tool to facilitate greater focus on all the dimensions to the Ministerial Bureaus programme including the Africa Public Service Day celebrations, the All Africa Innovation Awards and all of the learning and sharing engagements that fall within the purview of the Ministerial programme. The Charter was adopted with a proviso for its review and finalization by Member States Legal Experts for presentation to the Assembly of Heads of State and Government.
20

The purpose of the review meeting was therefore to improve on the quality of the draft Charter with particular focus on language formulation and harmonisation; and not to write up a new Charter. The content of particular articles was addressed without changing the ideals espoused in the Charter. Amendment and review of the draft Charter was consensual taking into consideration the diversity of the African public service and the imperative of capturing the concerns and interests of Member States. The intended purpose of the Charter is to establish a broad framework to guide Member States to develop their public service, rather than capturing standards that obtain in Member States.

The experts recommended that the AUC should constitute a Committee to harmonise the language of the Charter. The membership of the Committee will be made up of the AUC, the Rapporteur (Nigeria), the lead champion of the Charter and who is the 1st Vice Chair of the Bureau (Algeria), and the UNDP as the technical partner. This committee would be supported by the language specialists at the AUC. The final Draft will be presented to the Summit of Heads of State and Government in January 2011.

The Bureau noted the progress made on review of the Charter by the meeting of Legal Experts and requested AUC to present the reviewed Charter to the Assembly for adoption through the Executive Council.

21

10. 0 Consultations on the 7th Conference

On holding of the 7th Conference, the Bureau agreed to reschedule the Conference from November, 2010 to the end of the 1st quarter, 2011 to allow for completion of ongoing activities and ensure a proper handover with substantive deliverables.

11. 0 Closing Remarks

The Bureau recorded its deep appreciation to the Government and people of the Republic of Mozambique for the warm hospitality and facilities made available to all the delegates during the meetings. It thanked the Chairperson for the able manner in which he had conducted the affairs of the Bureau.

In his closing remarks, the Chairperson thanked the Bureau members for their support and participation in the meeting and for their able stewardship of the Ministers Programme. He urged for increased resolve from the members to push through the planned activities in order to attain the objectives of the African agenda of a transformative public service across the continent.

In her remarks, Honourable Victoria Diogo once again thanked the members for choosing to hold the meetings in Mozambique. She expressed her satisfaction at the enhanced pace in implementation of activities of the Ministers Programme and the vigor shown in championing the prioritized areas by Member countries. She hoped that the resolutions made in Maputo

22

will propel the Ministers Programme further to the benefit of the continent through enhanced service delivery.
