Serikali Yatangaza Ajira 41500
To address the challenge of the shortage of public servants, the Government has directed the Public Service Recruitment Secretariat to begin the process of filling vacant positions in various institutions for the 2025/26 financial year.
This initiative aims to enhance efficiency in public service delivery, improve the quality of services provided, and strengthen the implementation of government functions.
The directive was issued today, October 11, 2025, in Dar es Salaam by the Permanent Secretary in the President’s Office – Public Service Management and Good Governance, Juma Mkomi, while speaking to journalists. He added that the completion of the recruitment process for all 2024/25 positions is intended to ensure that service delivery to citizens is not affected by the shortage of human resources.
In the 2025/26 financial year, the Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania approved 41,500 new employment positions in various institutions, including 12,176 positions for teachers and 10,280 positions in the health sector, whose implementation begins immediately,” he said.
To reduce costs for applicants, enhance transparency in the recruitment process, and speed up the placement of qualified personnel, Mkomi urged employers to cooperate by allowing applicants to attend interviews within their respective regions, without having to travel long distances.
“To ensure that the Public Service Recruitment Secretariat executes this responsibility effectively, all employers are instructed to provide full cooperation. In addition, I would like to direct those employers to whom the Secretariat has delegated recruitment authority for certain cadres to conduct interviews immediately to fill the approved positions, in accordance with the laws, procedures, and regulations governing public service recruitment,” he said.
He further explained that, in order to minimize costs and ensure timely interviews, the Public Service Recruitment Secretariat has been directed to conduct the exercise in every region on the Tanzanian mainland and at designated centers in Zanzibar, to allow applicants from respective areas to apply and be interviewed closer to their homes.
“Applicants who pass the interview but are not immediately assigned positions will be placed in a database and will continue to be allocated jobs as new vacancies arise. These applicants will be posted to institutions that have available positions anywhere in the country,” he said.
He added that appointment letters for successful candidates will be made available through the Recruitment Portal system under their respective accounts, to eliminate challenges related to the distribution and access of such letters.
