To equip newly assigned civil servants at the Office of the Ombudsman of the Republic and the High Commission for Reconciliation and Strengthening of National Unity (HCRRUN) with the practical skills required to perform their duties effectively, familiarize them with the administrative organization of both institutions, and enhance their understanding of their respective mandates and responsibilities\u2014these were the main objectives of an internal capacity-building workshop held from 31 July to 1 August 2025<\/strong> at the headquarters of the two institutions.<\/p>\n

The workshop brought together around thirty newly recruited civil servants, many of whom had limited knowledge of the expectations of the public administration in terms of professional performance, as well as of the rights and obligations attached to civil service. Over the course of the two-day programme, participants gained a clearer understanding of their roles and responsibilities within their respective departments through a series of presentations on key institutional topics.<\/p>\n

The sessions covered the following themes: The Mandate and Responsibilities of the Ombudsman of the Republic<\/em>; The Complaint Handling Process at the Office of the Ombudsman of the Republic<\/em>; The Ombudsman of the Republic\u2019s Cooperation Framework<\/em>; The Mandate and Responsibilities of HCRRUN<\/em>; An Overview of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (CVJR) Reparations Programme<\/em>; The Victim Support Process<\/em>; and Career Development in the Civil Service<\/em>, including the various stages of career progression.<\/p>\n

In her opening address, the Ombudsman of the Republic and President of HCRRUN, Mrs Awa NANA-DABOYA<\/strong>, welcomed the Government\u2019s employment policy, particularly the recruitment of new civil servants through the national civil service recruitment process. She noted that, despite budgetary constraints, the Government\u2019s decision to recruit thousands of young professionals once again demonstrates the high importance attached to youth employment, at a time when unemployment remains a major challenge shared by countries around the world.<\/p>\n

Mrs Awa NANA-DABOYA also extended her heartfelt congratulations to the newly assigned civil servants on their successful recruitment, describing it as the beginning of their professional careers in public service. She encouraged them to uphold the core values of respect for hierarchy, diligence, integrity and commitment in the discharge of their duties.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllow me to emphasize that public service cannot be regarded as a sinecure. Let there be no ambiguity: civil servants who expect to receive a salary at the end of each month without performing their duties with diligence and commitment have no place at the Office of the Ombudsman of the Republic or at HCRRUN\u2014two institutions whose guiding principle is the obligation to deliver tangible results for both the State and the people,\u201d stated the Ombudsman of the Republic and President of HCRRUN.<\/p>\n

At the close of the workshop, the participants adopted a motion of thanks addressed to the President of the Council, Mr Faure Essozimna Gnassingb\u00e9<\/strong>, expressing their sincere appreciation for his sustained commitment to promoting youth employment, which has enabled the recruitment of thousands of new civil servants, including themselves.<\/p>\n

They commended the President of the Council\u2019s unwavering commitment to empowering young people and his continued efforts to strengthen and modernize the Civil Service, describing these initiatives as a source of inspiration and a driving force for the country’s development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fully committed to putting into practice the knowledge and skills acquired during this internal capacity-building workshop so as to contribute effectively to the achievement of the objectives assigned to our two institutions for the well-being of the Togolese people,\u201d the motion concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
