Gov't forum reviews Public Service and Administration Commission achievements - Jordan News
Gov't forum reviews Public Service and Administration Commission achievements The Government Communication Forum held a meeting with media representatives on Wednesday on the Public Service and Administration Commission's achievements and aspirations in its second Year. اضافة اعلان The commission's chairman Fayez Al-Nahar said his institution carried out its new role in drawing up policies, technical and advisory support, and oversight and compliance. He went over the stages of the commission's establishment, the reasons for change in its roles, and areas of work, which include leadership, human resources, government services, joint services, corporate culture, organizational structures, and institutional planning and development. Al-Nahar said the new public sector recruitment strategy primarily relies on open advertisements, noting that the commission has carried out 70 percent of recruitments through open adverts and only 30 percent were via the available competitive inventory, which will be canceled entirely by 2027 with the aim of ensuring fairness and equal opportunity for all. The public sector recruitment strategy, he said, currently adopts an integrated approach to keep pace with transformations in human resources management and ensure optimal utilization of national competencies, as it starts with proactive planning of job needs through the Human Resources Planning Committee. Job openings are then announced on official websites and daily newspapers, ensuring transparency and equal opportunity, he added. Government entities, he said, screen applications and identify a list of candidates according to the job requirements, and competencies are then assessed using specific tools and criteria, including tests and personal interviews with a focus on skills needed, knowledge, and behaviors. Interviews are conducted by specialized committees, while the Competency Assessment Center offers various tools to objectively evaluate applicants, enhancing selection accuracy, added Al-Nahar. Ministry of Government Communication Secretary General Zaid Nawaiseh said the Public Service and Administration Commission was established after implementation of the public sector modernization roadmap began, and that its outcomes are in line with the political and economic modernization scheme as a gateway to the second centennial of the Jordanian state. The commission, he said, began work on the human resources system and amendments to the civil service system, which he called "a historic transformation" in Jordanian public administration. //Petra//SS

Justice Minister: Lebanese parties hindering an end to Musa Al-Sadr's case for political reasons
Libya's Minister of Justice in the Government of National Unity, Halima Abdulrahman, has blamed unnamed Lebanese parties for obstructing the closure of the case concerning Imam Musa al-Sadr for 'political purposes.' She reaffirmed that her ministry was closely following the case of Hannibal Gaddafi, who is being held in Lebanon in connection with the same case, as part of 'Libya's commitment to protecting the rights of its citizens abroad.' In a statement to Lebanon's Al-Nahar newspaper on Friday, Abdulrahman said the Libyan judicial authorities had contacted their Lebanese counterparts regarding the case, attaching a detailed roadmap that presents a practical and comprehensive vision for reaching a fair and just resolution. The plan includes mechanisms for judicial cooperation between the two countries that would lead to the closure of the case and the release of Hannibal Gaddafi. Abdulrahman stressed Libya's full readiness to cooperate with Lebanon in all efforts to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of Imam al-Sadr in 1978. She emphasized the importance of resolving the case in a framework of transparency, mutual respect for sovereignty and the law, in a manner that upholds justice and safeguards the dignity and rights of Libyan citizens. She reiterated her openness to all forms of legal cooperation with the Lebanese authorities. She also pointed out that the initiative is now in the hands of the Lebanese judiciary, and that Libya is still awaiting an official response, noting that the 'unjustified delay is a cause for concern.' The Minister of Justice described the delay as a sign of political exploitation of the Imam al-Sadr case by Lebanese parties unwilling to see the file closed, which negatively affects the course of justice and the basic rights of the detained Libyan citizen. She expressed hope that the case would be addressed 'in the spirit of justice and with full respect for legal and human rights.'

Head of Civil Service Bureau: All Appointments Will Be Competitive Through Stock or Open Announcements - Jordan News
The head of the Civil Service Bureau, Fayez Al-Nahar, announced on Thursday the issuance of the basic competitive list for the employment request stock, which will be used to fill 30% of the vacancies in ministries, departments, and government institutions for the year 2025. اضافة اعلان Al-Nahar added during a press conference that the remaining appointments will be through open competition according to announcements issued by government departments on their official websites, government advertisement websites, and daily newspapers. He explained that applicants in the stock can apply for the announced jobs if they meet the conditions for filling those positions, regardless of their rank or competitive standing at the Civil Service Bureau. Al-Nahar indicated that the fundamental transformations witnessed by the human resources system in line with the public sector modernization roadmap will completely end the stock system and fully transition to open announcements with the issuance of the 2027 organizational chart. All appointments will then be based on free competition and competencies. He pointed out that according to Civil Service System No. (9) of 2020 and its amendments, the Civil Service Bureau (formerly the Civil Service Diwan) ceased accepting new job applications as of the end of November 2023. Therefore, the stock only includes those who submitted job applications before that date. Regarding the characteristics and statistics of the employment request stock, Al-Nahar clarified that it includes approximately 465,000 individuals seeking employment in government departments and institutions, which is a decrease of about 20,000 applications compared to 2024. This reduction is attributed to changes in the stock due to appointments in various sectors, withdrawals, or failure to meet the acceptance criteria according to the system's provisions. He emphasized that the employment request stock does not reflect unemployment statistics or the number of people out of work, as more than 40% of the applicants have records in social security, indicating that they are employed in the private sector or other sectors, but they still have the right to compete for jobs in the public sector. Al-Nahar further noted that the majority of the employment requests are from females, making up more than 70%, while 87% of the applications are from those holding a bachelor's degree or higher. The remaining applications are from those with a comprehensive diploma. The requests are mostly concentrated in the capital, Amman (29%), followed by Irbid governorate (24%) and Zarqa (12%). The rest of the requests are distributed across other governorates and regions. He added that, starting Thursday evening, March 27, applicants can inquire about their competitive positions for the current year through the Civil Service Bureau's website ( or the National Contact Center at (5008080). He also mentioned that, to enhance principles of transparency and openness, the Bureau had previously published a preliminary competitive list for the year 2025 during the period from March 5 to 13, 2025, for 8 days, on its website and all its digital platforms. This was done to allow applicants to review their data, especially related to phone numbers, actual place of residence, and academic qualifications, and submit any corrections if needed through the provided feedback link. This process was fully automated, and no physical presence at the Bureau was required. The electronic service was developed to update the competitive list for this year, aiming to save time and effort for job applicants. Al-Nahar confirmed that applicants are responsible for the accuracy of the data in the list. He mentioned that about 2,875 comments were received during the trial period, and they were reviewed by a specialized technical committee and reflected in the main list. Al-Nahar also indicated that, for the purpose of refining and updating the competitive list's data in coordination with relevant authorities, the Bureau's teams had made significant efforts in verifying applicants' data and following up with official agencies to ensure the accuracy of the requests.
