The Human Resources (HR) component of the African Region transformation programme is currently being implemented with a view to strengthening WHO human resources capacity and re- aligning staffing with identified programmatic priorities and needs. The purpose of this document is to provide Member States with information pertaining to World Health Organization (WHO) staff working in the African Region as of 1 March 2018. It also gives details on the overall staffing situation by category, grade, gender, geographical representation, nationality and duty station. 2. WHO offers two main types of appointments, namely temporary and long-term appointments. A temporary appointment is a time-limited appointment of a maximum of two years continuous service. The term “long-term appointment” refers to staff members on fixed-term or continuing appointment. 3. As of 1 March 2018, the Region had a total of 2477 staff on both long-term and temporary appointments. Of these 2477 staff, 21.5% were in the international professional officer (IPO) category, 26.9% were in the national professional officer (NPO) category and 51.6% were in the general service (GS) category (Table 1a). APPOINTMENT CATEGORIES 4. As of 1 March 2018, there were 2072 staff members on long-term appointment in the African Region. Of these, 17.7% were IPOs, 28.9% were NPOs and 53.4% were GS staff. There were also 405 staff members on temporary appointment. Of these, 40.7% were IPOs, 17.1% were NPOs and 42.2% were GS (Table 1a). 5. Among the IPOs on long-term appointment, the highest concentration was at the P4 grade level with 44.6%, followed by P5 grade level with 22.3%, P3 grade level with 14.7%, P2 grade level with 7.3%, D1 grade level with 7.1%, P6 grade level with 3.3%, and P1 grade level with 0.3% (Table 1b). There were 26 staff members at the D1 grade level, one staff member at the D2 grade level and one staff member at UG level. CATEGORY, GRADE AND GENDER DISTRIBUTION 6. The distribution of staff members by category, grade and gender is shown in Tables 2a, 2b and 2c. Among the 533 IPOs, 69.0% were on long-term appointment and 31.0% were on temporary appointment. Their distribution by gender was 70.9% male and 29.1% female. Of the 368 IPOs on long-term appointment, 68.8% were male and 31.2% were female. Of the 165 IPOs on temporary appointment, 75.8% were male and 24.2% were female (Table 2a). 7. Among the 667 NPOs, 89.7% were on long-term appointment and 10.3% held temporary appointments. Their distribution by gender was 71.1% male and 28.9% female for the NPOs on long- term appointment and 73.9% male and 26.1% female for the NPOs on temporary appointment (Table 2b). 8. Of the 1277 GS staff, 86.6% were on long-term appointment and 13.4% held temporary appointments. The distribution by gender was 64.5% male and 35.5% female for those on long-term appointment and 82.5% male and 17.5% female for those on temporary appointment (Table 2c). AFR/RC68/INF.DOC/9 Page 2 9. Although the gap between male and female distribution remains significant at the international professional level, WHO in the African Region has made some progress in increasing the female representation over the last three years. The trend of female representation at senior level, namely at P6/D1, D2 and UG1, has progressively increased from 23.4% in 2015 to 25.5%, 25.6% and 27.5% in 2016, 2017 and 2018 respectively (Table 2d). WHO in the African Region remains strongly committed to achieving gender parity, particularly in the senior professional and higher categories. In an effort to close the existing gap in gender representation, an outreach initiative has been introduced to attract more qualified female candidates. Moreover, WHO in the African Region continues to implement the policy requiring that the shortlists for all advertised positions must include at least one qualified female candidate, failing which the hiring manager is required to provide a sound written justification or the vacancy notice is re-advertised. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION 10. The Member States with the highest representation were Uganda with 26 staff members, Burkina Faso and Cameroon with 20 staff members each, Kenya and Zimbabwe with 18 staff members and, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Nigeria with 17 staff members each (Table 3a). Twenty-four Member States1 outside the African Region had nationals working in the Region as IPOs on long-term appointment. The number of staff members varies from one to seven (Table 3a). 11. The geographical distribution of long-term professional staff from the 47 Member States of the WHO in the African Region indicates that 18 Member States were over-represented (category C).2 Two Member States, namely Guinea and Malawi were at the maximum of their range (category B2*). Eight Member States were within their range but above the mid-point (category B2).3 Seventeen Member States were within their range but below the mid-point (category B1),4 and two Member States, Seychelles and South Sudan, were unrepresented (category A*) (Table 3b). 12. The distribution of temporary professional staff working in the WHO African Region by nationality and gender is presented in Table 3c. According to the data Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Uganda and Nigeria had the highest representation with 15, 13, 11, 10 staff members respectively; followed by Cameroon and Democratic Republic of the Congo with nine staff members each; Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Kenya with seven staff members each; United States of America with six staff members; and Burkina Faso and Togo with five staff members each. 13. The aforementioned distribution shows that 20 countries5 outside the African Region had temporary professional staff members working in the Region (Table 3c). The distribution of long- term and temporary staff members working for the Region by duty station is presented in Table 4. 1 Belgium, China, Colombia, Egypt, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Morocco, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Peru, Russian Federation, Spain, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, and Ukraine with one staff member each; Philippines with two staff members; Germany, Sudan, United Kingdom with four staff members each; Canada and India with five staff members each; and France and United States of America with seven staff members each. 2 Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. 3 Algeria, Benin, Eritrea, Gambia, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius and Niger. 4 Angola, Botswana, Cabo Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Lesotho, Liberia, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Sao Tome and Principe, Sierra Leone and Eswatini. 5 Austria, Bangladesh, British Virgin Islands, Denmark, Italy, Japan, Nepal, New Zealand, Romania, and Sudan with one staff member each; Brazil, Egypt, Haiti, India and Netherlands with two staff members each; Canada, France, Pakistan and United Kingdom with three staff members each; and United States of America with six staff members. AFR/RC68/INF.DOC/9 Page 3 STAFFING TRENDS OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS (2009 TO 2018) 14. During the period between 1 June 2009 and 1 March 2018 the total number of staff members working in the Region, across all appointment categories, varied from 2679 to 2477. However, over the course of this period, there have been periods of sharp decrease and increase in staffing depending on the prevailing situation. For example, from 2009 to 2013 there was a 16% decrease in overall staffing due to the financial constraints across the Organization; whereas over the period 2014 to 2017 there has been a sharp increase in staffing which is largely driven by the surge of staff required to respond to various emergency events across the Region as well as the staffing of the positions of the WHO Health Emergencies Programme. From 2017 to 2018, the staff number has decreased by 6% due to the end of major epidemics such as Ebola and yellow fever in most affected countries, as well as the implementation of the ramp-down of the polio programme (Figure 1c). POLIO RAMP-DOWN STATUS 15. As the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) draws closer to eradicating polio, it will be substantially ramping down programmatically and financially over the coming years and will cease to exist after global certification currently projected for 2020. In this regard, WHO in the African Region has developed a comprehensive strategic polio transition roadmap which was presented at the 142nd session of the Executive Board in January 2018. Furthermore, WHO/AFRO continued the gradual ramp-down of GPEI within the Region taking into account the projected budget ceilings per country. 16. The Regional Committee took note of the report.
