"From policy to result-based implementation" is the theme chosen this year by the African Union to mark the Africa Day of the Civil Service and Administration and United Nations Service Day on June 23. The event presents an opportunity to reflect on the function of the civil service, its mission, objectives, programmes and projects while giving recognition and make known the civil service, its positive contribution and benefit to the population and the civil society in general. It also aims at rewarding, motivating and encouraging deserving officials for new programmes and projects which have been launched, for initiatives and innovations as well as changes brought in the service and for which they deserved distinction. Another aspect of this celebration is to prepare the civil service for a better future by proposing change for the social well-being. On its part, the Ministry of Civil Service and Administrative Reforms is mounting a cultural programme with the participation of public officers, and a photo exhibition on the "40 years post independence Civil service". Prizes will also be awarded for winners of an essay competition meant for public officers. It is to be recalled that the decision to celebrate the Africa Day in the Civil Service and Administration on the 23rd of June each year, was made at the first Pan African Conference of Ministers of Civil service held in Morocco in June 1994. Later, the same date was retained by the UN to mark the UN Public Service Day.
