Cerca de 221 cidadãos foram admitidos, em 8 de setembro de 2026, no quadro da Administração Pública, em várias províncias do país, após passarem por um processo de selecção que envolveu mais de 110 mil candidatos.

A informação foi divulgada pelo secretário de Estado para o Trabalho e Segurança Social, Pedro Filipe, durante a Cerimónia de Outorga dos candidatos
providos aos Concursos Públicos de Ingresso Externo dos Ministérios dos Transportes (MINTRANS), Administração Pública, Trabalho e
Segurança Social (MAPTSS) e o Instituto de Reintegração Social dos ExMilitares (IRSEM), ligado ao Ministério da Família, Ação Social e Promoção da Mulher (MASFAMU).

A cerimónia foi realizada pela Escola Nacional de Administração e Políticas Públicas (ENAPP), através da Entidade Recrutadora Única (ERU), instituição que tem a responsabilidade de dirigir os processos de seleção de candidatos, a nível da Administração Pública Central, porque os Governos Provinciais e às Administrações Municipais dirigem concursos públicos de forma autónoma, assim como os órgãos de Defesa e Segurança.

O secretário de Estado para o Trabalho e Segurança Social considerou a cerimónia de grande importância porque reflecte a conclusão de uma das visões do Presidente da República, que consiste na modernização da Função pública, que começa pela qualidade dos seus quadros.

Por essa razão, disse, foi criada a ERU, com o propósito de selecionar os melhores, sem qualquer interferência que não seja a qualificação e as competências, para que se tenha uma Administração Pública composta por quadros mais qualificados e altura das responsabilidade que o funcionamento exige.

O dirigente informou que depois da entrega dos certificados, os candidatos apurados passam por um processo de imersão, onde serão sujeitos a uma formação inicial para estarem por dentro da pauta deontológica da Função Pública.

Depois desse processo, disse, os selecionados serão encaminhados para os ministérios enquadrados e começarem a exercer as suas funções.

A ERU, referiu, continua com o dinamismo que se impõe, com a transparência e objetividade de conduzir os processos de seleção e recrutamento.

O secretário de Estado lembrou a existência de outros concursos públicos em curso, como dos Ministérios da Agricultura e Saúde

“Apelo à população em geral, sobretudo aos jovens, a acreditarem no processo, onde são selecionados os melhores, de forma objectiva, por ser um processo de transparência, justiça e imparcialidade”, disse.

Para os selecionados, o secretário de Estado pediu para estarem conscientes da missão que vão desempenhar, das responsabilidades que os funcionários públicos devem carregar consigo o facto de começarem um processo que pode levá-los a trilhar os caminhos do funcionalismo público.

Durante a cerimónia de outorga dos recém-seleccionados para ingressar na Função Pública, a PCA da ENAPP assumiu que cada candidato demonstrou capacidade, merecer este lugar e desejou que todos sejam bem-vindos aos novos desafios.

“O pais precisa da vossa inteligência, capacidade, dinamismo e sentido de missão, que esta nova etapa seja assumida com humildade, responsabilidade e determinação, consciente de que servir a Administração Pública, é servir o cidadão e contribuir para a construção de uma Nação mais forte e eficiente”, realçou.

Este momento, considerou, não simboliza apenas o culminar de um processo conduzido com rigor, mas também o início de uma nova etapa na vida profissional, orgulho e sentido de missão cumprida.

A ENAPP, disse, tem responsabilidades com o Estado, tendo em conta que um dos desafios é a questão da empregabilidade, com base no Programa Nacional do Emprego.

SA innovation takes centre stage at Chinese Innovation Forum

South Africa’s scientific and technological capabilities will this week come under the international spotlight when it participates as Country of Honour at the 19th Pujiang Innovation Forum in Shanghai, China.

This colossal task, from 11 – 14 September, will rest on the shoulders of a distinguished delegation of South African scientists, innovators and researchers that will be led by Science, Technology and Innovation Minister, Prof. Blade Nzimande. The industry representatives will gather to discuss emerging technologies and deepen international cooperation. 

Among other things, the delegation is expected to articulate Africa’s science, technology and innovation (ST&I) agenda, as articulated in the African Union’s ST&I Strategy for Africa. 

The country’s participation in the Forum as the Country of Honor – the first African country to receive the designation – coincides with the celebration of 28 years of diplomatic relations between South Africa and the global economic powerhouse. 

In March 2026, the two nations convened the 9th Bi-National Commission in South Africa during the working visit by Vice President, Han Zheng of the People’s Republic of China. The Bi-National Commission looked at advancing shared modernisation, and for the two nations to strengthen partnerships and cooperation to respond to the changing global environment, while advancing inclusive growth, industrial development and technological progress. 

“As the first African country to be designated country of honour, we also view our participation in the 19th Pujiang Innovation Forum as a unique opportunity to advance Africa’s science, technology and innovation agenda, as articulated in the African Union’s Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa (STISA 2034),” says the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI) in a programme presentation document.

During the quest, the Minister and his delegation will engage in a litany of lined up sessions. These include site visits, bilateral meetings and a banquet across various locations in Shanghai.

The scheduled engagement will see South Africa showcase its science, technology and innovation capabilities. The delegation is also expected to promote research, technology transfer and investment partnerships, as well as position South Africa as a gateway to African innovation ecosystems.

The programme will see delegates engage in forums and exhibitions exploring topics ranging from climate change and sustainability, health innovation and biotechnology, and space science and astronomy.

A dedicated South African pavilion will present locally developed technologies aimed at addressing social, environmental and economic challenges. Exhibits are expected to include climate-intelligence tools for farmers, hydrogen technologies, earth-observation applications, climate-smart mushroom farming and assistive technology for people with visual impairments.

Other displays will highlight smart energy-data management for municipalities, indigenous medicine research, radio astronomy, sustainable farming, wildfire disaster-management technology and marine and environmental observation.

Participating institutions include the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research; Technology Innovation Agency; the South African National Space Agency; National Research Foundation, South African Radio Astronomy Observatory; Agricultural Research Council, and several universities. –SAnews.gov.za

Mohai conducts oversight visit to Presidential Hotline Call Centre

Deputy Minister in the Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Seiso Mohai, is conducting an oversight monitoring visit to the Presidential Hotline Call Centre at the State Information Technology Agency (SITA).

Wednesday’s visit at the SITA offices in Centurion aims to ensure that the centre continues to provide effective platforms for citizens.

Established in September 2009, the Presidential Hotline serves as an apex complaints management mechanism through which citizens can submit complaints, enquiries, suggestions, and compliments concerning government services.

It also assists in escalating unresolved service-delivery concerns to relevant government departments and public entities.

The oversight visit is focusing on the effectiveness of the technology supporting case management, operational challenges affecting the Hotline, customer service standards, quality assurance, case escalation, and resolution tracking.

It is also examining opportunities for automation and system enhancement, while seeking to strengthen collaboration between the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) and SITA.

The DPME has overall responsibility for the performance of the Presidential Hotline and the quality of services provided to citizens.

SITA supports the operation of the Hotline through its Call Centre and Information Technology Systems Management platform, which enables cases to be recorded, categorised, allocated, tracked and updated.

During the visit, the Deputy Minister will engage with the leadership and technical teams of the State Information Technology Agency and participate in a guided walkabout of the Presidential Hotline Call Centre.

The programme also includes technical briefings and visits to the Network Operations Centre and Security Operations Centre. – SAnews.gov.za

Éducation : Des Investissements Soutenus pour Ameliorer l’Acces et les Conditions d’Apprentissage

Source: Africa Press Organisation – French

 À quelques jours de la rentrée scolaire 2026-2027, prévue le lundi 14 septembre, le système éducatif ivoirien aborde une nouvelle année portée par la poursuite des investissements de l’État dans les infrastructures, les équipements et les ressources humaines. Des efforts qui visent à rapprocher l’école des populations, améliorer les conditions d’apprentissage et renforcer la qualité de l’encadrement.

Sur le volet des infrastructures, le programme DÉFI 3 a permis la réalisation de 47 collèges de proximité, tandis que le Programme de Renforcement du Système éducatif de Base (PRSEB) a contribué à la construction de 3 000 salles de classe au primaire et de 51 collèges de proximité. À ces réalisations s’ajoutent 386 salles de classe au pré-primaire, 79 collèges de proximité à base 4 et 14 lycées et collèges d’excellence dotés d’internats pour jeunes filles. Ces infrastructures contribuent notamment à réduire les distances parcourues par les élèves, particulièrement en milieu rural, et à faciliter la poursuite de leur scolarité à proximité des familles.

L’amélioration des conditions d’apprentissage s’est également traduite par l’acquisition de 317 000 tables-bancs, 4,35 millions de kits scolaires et 2 800 mallettes pédagogiques. Ces dotations permettent de mieux équiper les établissements et contribuent à alléger certaines dépenses supportées par les familles à l’occasion de la rentrée.

Pour renforcer l’encadrement, 4 900 enseignants du secondaire ont été recrutés et déployés de manière exceptionnelle depuis avril 2026, dont près de 2 000 professeurs de Mathématiques et de Physique-Chimie. Un recrutement exceptionnel de 866 enseignants est également en cours dans l’enseignement technique et professionnel. En parallèle, 20 000 enseignants de CE2 ont été formés dans le cadre du Programme national d’Amélioration des Premiers Apprentissages scolaires (PNAPAS), tandis que 721 acteurs des CAFOP et 1 973 enseignants bivalents de sciences ont bénéficié ou bénéficient d’actions de renforcement de capacités.

Les efforts engagés concernent aussi l’inclusion scolaire. Sur 64 candidats en situation de handicap sensoriel présentés au CEPE, le taux de réussite a atteint 93 %, grâce notamment à la mise à disposition de matériels d’apprentissage adaptés. Dans la même dynamique, 260 000 enfants issus des structures islamiques d’éducation ont intégré le système éducatif formel.

L’enseignement technique et professionnel bénéficie également d’investissements destinés à renforcer son attractivité et son rôle dans l’insertion des jeunes. Ils concernent notamment l’achèvement de l’internat du Lycée technique d’Abidjan et du Lycée professionnel sectoriel agricole de Botro, la réhabilitation de plusieurs lycées professionnels, ainsi que la construction du Garage-École de Sinématiali.

La rentrée sera par ailleurs marquée par un meilleur encadrement des manuels scolaires et supports didactiques. Face à la pluralité des ouvrages utilisés pour une même discipline et aux charges supplémentaires qui peuvent en découler pour les familles, la liste nationale des manuels et supports retenus pour l’année scolaire 2026-2027 est désormais disponible. Aucun établissement public ou privé ne pourra imposer aux élèves ou à leurs familles l’acquisition de supports ne figurant pas sur cette liste. Cette mesure vise également à améliorer la mise en œuvre de la Bourse Nationale des Manuels Scolaires et à favoriser un accès plus équitable aux ressources pédagogiques.

Placée sous le thème « Ensemble, restaurons la confiance pour transformer durablement l’école », l’année scolaire 2026-2027 mettra notamment l’accent sur la qualité des curricula, l’accompagnement des enseignants, la sécurité et la salubrité des établissements, la crédibilité des examens, la culture scientifique et numérique et la valorisation de l’enseignement technique. Une attention particulière sera accordée au maintien des filles à l’école et à leur orientation vers les filières scientifiques et techniques.

« Pour réussir cette année scolaire 2026-2027, j’appelle à la mobilisation de tous : enseignants, membres de l’Administration scolaire, fondateurs et responsables des établissements privés, élèves, parents, collectivités territoriales, secteur productif et partenaires techniques et financiers. Ensemble, restaurons la confiance. Ensemble, transformons durablement notre École », a appelé le ministre de l’Éducation nationale, de l’Alphabétisation et de l’Enseignement technique, N’Guessan Koffi.

À travers ces investissements et orientations, le Gouvernement entend poursuivre la transformation du système éducatif pour une école plus accessible, inclusive et mieux adaptée aux besoins des élèves et des familles.

Leading from the Front: ASP Kamara strengthens police operations at African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) Sector 2

Source: APO – Report:

For over two decades, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Abdul Bashiru Kamara has dedicated his life to policing and public service. As an Operations Officer serving with the Sierra Leone Formed Police Unit (SLFPU) under the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) at Sector 2, he continues that commitment on the frontlines of peace support operations.

Since joining the Sierra Leone Police in 2005, ASP Kamara has built extensive experience in security operations, leadership, and public safety. Within AUSSOM in Kismayo, his responsibilities are central to ensuring the safety and smooth functioning of mission activities.

“My role in the mission is to provide security escorts and also camp protection,” he explained.

Operating in Somalia requires adaptability, professionalism and strong coordination. For ASP Kamara, one of the main difficulties has been overcoming communication barriers while working in a foreign environment.

As Operations Officer, ASP Kamara oversees a wide range of day-to-day security responsibilities. From coordinating deployments to briefing personnel before assignments, his leadership plays a key role in maintaining discipline and operational readiness within the unit.

“Every morning, we brief our personnel before deployment so they can carry out their duties effectively and perform well.”

ASP Kamara’s role demands constant vigilance and coordination in an environment where security remains a top priority. His experience within AUSSOM has significantly strengthened his professional capabilities. Through training opportunities and collaboration with international partners, he has gained valuable operational and communication skills.

“Since joining the mission, AUSSOM has provided crucial training that elevated our capacity. My communication skills have also improved through working with personnel in the mission area.”

Beyond providing security, the SLFPU collaborate closely the Somali Security Forces (SSF). ASP Kamara said the unit supported community-oriented policing and responsible use of force. These efforts support broader AUSSOM objectives to strengthen Somali security institutions.

With 21 years of policing experience, ASP Abdul Bashiru Kamara represents the professionalism and dedication that Peace Support Operations rely on. His story reflects the broader contribution of African personnel serving in Somalia — men and women working far from home to support peace, stability and the protection of communities.
