The Tunisian Ministry of Equipment and Housing has announced plans to recruit 412 agents in 2027. This move is part of the ministry's efforts to strengthen its human resources and meet the functional needs of its various programs. According to Minister Salah Zouari, 390 agents will be recruited for the ministry's mission, while 22 will be recruited for public establishments under its supervision.

The recruitment plan for 2027 is part of the ministry's budget for the upcoming year. During a joint hearing session held at the Assembly of People's Representatives, Minister Zouari outlined the ministry's plans for 2027. He also mentioned that 82 agents will be recruited this year for various programs within the ministry. This move aims to address the shortage of personnel and ensure the smooth operation of the ministry's projects.

The ministry has faced a decline in the number of agents in recent years. Minister Zouari attributed this decline to the increasing number of retirements, particularly those before the legal age, as per Presidential Decree No. 542 of 2022. As a result, the number of authorized agents within the ministry has dropped to 775. The new recruitment plan seeks to address this shortage and ensure the ministry has the necessary personnel to carry out its functions.

The recruitment plan is also aimed at renewing the ministry's human resources and covering the needs of its various programs. The ministry's mission and public establishments under its supervision will benefit from the new recruits. By injecting fresh talent into the ministry, the government hopes to improve its service delivery and project implementation.

The Ministry of Equipment and Housing plays a critical role in Tunisia's development. Its projects and programs have a direct impact on the country's infrastructure, housing, and overall economic growth. The recruitment of new agents will enable the ministry to effectively implement its plans and meet the needs of the Tunisian people.

The joint hearing session was attended by members of the Assembly of People's Representatives and the National Council of Regions and Districts. The session was focused on examining the ministry's budget for 2027 and its plans for the upcoming year. Minister Zouari's presentation provided insight into the ministry's priorities and strategies for the future.

The government's efforts to strengthen the ministry's human resources are expected to have a positive impact on its operations. With the recruitment of new agents, the ministry will be better equipped to implement its projects and programs. This, in turn, is expected to contribute to Tunisia's economic growth and development.
