During a meeting with representatives of the German
Agency for International Cooperation-funded “Job competencies project”, Nasser
stated that the project’s outcomes laid the groundwork for the establishment of
a competency evaluation center, which is currently being developed in collaboration
with
USAID. He also emphasized the importance of training new employees to
bridge the skills gap in the civil service.
He said that the
job competencies guide in civil service was developed in collaboration with the
European Commission and accredited in 2016, and that the CSB began integrating
the concept of job competencies in 2011 by launching a competencies matrix.
Additionally, job description cards that precisely
outline the qualifications needed for appointment were created for executive
positions such as director generals.
In 2021 and 2022, the CSB conducted competency-based
job exams for openings in the health and education sectors, and a website was
launched to inform people about the technical and professional aspects of the
exam.
