A team of 10 recruitment experts selected from the 5 regional blocs, to help develop and revamp the recruitment system for the AU Commission visited the Commission on 22nd July where they met H.E. Kwesi Quartey, Deputy Chairperson of the African Union Commission.
It is expected that the experts will help the Commission to develop a new recruitment system of international repute, and AU recruitment policy and standard operational manuals that will promote transparency and restore confidence amongst AU citizens.

The team is also expected to focus on the key principles of the on-going reform, namely: meritocracy, integrity, efficiency, transparency, accountability, diversity and inclusivity. Special consideration is to be given to gender, youth and people with disabilities (PWD) in the review process.
The aim of the exercise is to help the AU retain high-quality African talent to push through Africa’s  Agenda 2063.
The 10 experts were selected following the decision of the AU Executive Council’s Extraordinary Session of November 2018, to support the AU Commission to review and improve the AU recruitment process.
The Deputy Chairperson briefed the experts on current challenges confronting the AUC recruitment system, and reiterated the need for them to work within the stipulated time in order for the AU to achieve the expected outcomes. He further assured them of the preparedness of the Commission to make available any information required to discharge their duties as stipulated in the Terms of Reference (TOR).
