REPORT

on performance of the Civil Service Commission under the President of the

Republic of Azerbaijan during year of 2009

The Civil Service Commission under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan carried

out the following performance during 2009:

In the field of the HR management in civil service:

Development of policy in the HRM field in civil service and building public trust to this

policy is one of main objectives of the Commission.

Efficient management of human resources in civil service, selection and allocation to the

civil service of patriotic, highly professional, innovative personnel with modern world-view,

held special place in the Commission’s performance in 2009.

Relevant actions were undertaken during reporting period to determine general

requirements for persons willing to apply to vacant positions in civil service with consideration

of category and functions of the position and not depending on state body. “General

requirements of holding of vacant position corresponding to the sixth-ninth categories of

administrative positions” approved by decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of

Azerbaijan No 143 dated of 17 September 2009 provide for general requirements on education,

working experience and required minimal skills for holding positions corresponding to

indicated categories.

In accordance with the General Requirements, the Commission performed actions in

direction of formed single database development on positions corresponding to the sixth-ninth

categories of administrative positions in state bodies. Thus, there were prepared 21 digests on

state bodies with their charters, regulations, staff list and job descriptions on positions

corresponding to the sixth-ninth categories of administrative positions (“Informational Digest

on organizational legal documents and administrative positions”). 14 digests were agreed

between the Commission and relevant state bodies. Work with other state bodies in this

direction has been still continued.

The Commission included job descriptions submitted in e-form by state bodies into the

“Position Database”. This base helps to automatize work with advertisement reflecting detailed

information (name of position, category, wage, working address, service functions, and

requirements for position holding, etc.) about position during conduct of competition or

2

interviewing for vacant civil service position holding. Ensuring such information in

advertisement allows candidate to analyze terms and requirements of vacancy and make a

selection it in accordance with his skills and abilities. During document receipt the

Commission opened e-mails for candidates not owning e-mail addresses. Information on

different competition and interviewing stages is regularly forwarded to e-mails of candidates.

In accordance with the “Rules of organization, conduct, evaluation of testing examination

on civil service recruitment in state bodies and determination of passing score on

administrative position category” approved by order of the Chairman of the Commission No

251 dated of 1 October 2009 under clause 8 of the “Rules of recruitment to the civil service in

state bodies through competition” approved by Decree of the President of the Republic of

Azerbaijan No 108 dated of 24 June 2009, it is provided for to present test tasks in order to

examine world-view of candidates during testing of competition, as well as their knowledge

about Azerbaijan, legislation, IT and logical abilities. If required, some part of testing

examination may be substituted by testing tasks checking professional knowledge. In

accordance with the Rules, general programs and program-based test bank were prepared with

objective to check knowledge of candidates in areas indicated during testing. The programs

cover subjects and relevant literature list used during the testing (standard legal acts, manuals,

etc.). Testing programs (on administrative positions) are placed at the web-site of the

Commission prior to an advertisement. This gives citizens opportunity to prepare to test and is

aimed to provide transparency through giving all candidates equal starting situation.

While analyzing results of competitions the Commission determined new passing scores

for test examination. Thus, concerning positions of the sixth-seventh categories of

administrative positions – candidates positively answering 80% of tests from suggested 100

tasks and 50% of tasks from suggested 30 tests for logical thinking ability are considered as

successfully passed; concerning positions of the eighth-ninth categories of administrative

positions – candidates positively answering 70% of tests from suggested 100 tasks and 40% of

tasks from suggested 30 tests for logical thinking ability are considered as successfully passed.

In order to increase efficiency of competitions, new Rules provides for opportunity to

participate in interviewing stage of competition for holding of vacant administrative positions

of the eights-ninth categories for candidates who did not collect passing score defined for

positions on the administrative sixth-seventh categories during test examination but still meet

requirements defined for administrative positions of the eights-ninth categories (with

3

consideration of requirements of position).

Personal qualities of candidates, their skills and abilities from view of vacancy

requirements are evaluated during the interview. In order to help candidates to be more trained

for interviewing, the video movie is sent to their e-mails. By this video, candidates become

aware about criteria evaluated during interviewing and training directions on these criteria for

interviewing.

During reporting period representatives of state bodies participating in the panel of

interviewers were involved to trainings on interviewing rules and methodologies. This was

aimed to informing mentioned representatives about legislative requirements and interviewing

tools on revelation of candidate’s potential. In general, 143 persons from 34 state bodies

participated in the trainings.

The Commission has undertaken different actions in order to conduct objective and

transparent interviewing. The interviewing is carried out by panel of interviewers (minimum 3

members) including representatives of the Commission and state body where a vacancy exists

in. Interviews are recorded by consent of candidates and participation of observers

(representatives of state bodies, international organizations, mass media and public

organizations, including NGO registered in the Commission) is ensured. Appeal commission

was established by the Chairman of the Commission to comprehensively investigate and

respond to applications of candidates dissatisfied with results of interviewing. The appeal

commission considers complaint of candidate with his/her participation and relevant decision

has been made. The appeal commission consists of chairman and other 3 members. In 2009 the

appeal commission considered 29 complaints entered to Commission and relevant decisions

were taken. 2 complaints were upheld.

The competition announced on 11 September 2008 for civil service recruitment was

completed on 23 January 2009. There were advertised for competition 601 vacant civil service

positions in 33 state bodies. 2364 candidates participated in the competition, 528 successfully

For those candidates who successfully passed competition but were not appointed to

work with state bodies for appointment of such candidates to analogous vacant positions in

state bodies within stated period. 86 from 201 candidates included into reserve staff list on all

In accordance with the second part of clause 29.3 of the Law of the Republic of

Azerbaijan “On civil service” the Commission prepared methodical instruction for

organization of interviewing (subject to “internal interviews”) for holding of positions

corresponding to the sixth-ninth categories of administrative positions. Such instructions are

aimed to render state bodies a methodical assistance in interviewing organization and carry out

control over observance of legislative requirements.

In 2009 internal interviewing was carried out in 10 state bodies. 34 candidates were

registered on 34 vacant civil service positions advertised within state bodies. 28 candidates

successfully passed the interviewing.

Starting from 2009, relevant actions were undertaken in order to involve appeal courts,

Court of the Republic of Azerbaijan on Grave Crimes, Military Court of the Republic of

Azerbaijan on Grave Crimes, local economical, military and district (city) courts to the

centralized competition and interviewing conduct process related to the holding of vacant

positions corresponding to the sixth-ninth administrative category positions.

First of all, workshop on the “Civil service recruitment” was carried out for persons

(Annex 6).

During reporting period, representatives of the Commission were invited as observers to

testing examinations held in justice and prosecutor’s office bodies for civil service recruitment.

Another essential aspect of the HRM in civil service is development of these resources,

their correct direction in general objectives of public administration.

So, professional development of civil servants was one of the most important directions

in performance of the Commission in 2009.

In 2009 the Commission organized trainings for local executive power bodies and local

and regional divisions of the central executive power bodies in Shamaha, Masalli, Salyan,

Guba and Baku under the “Project Document on Good Governance through Civil Service

Reform: Implementing MDG 9 (draft SPPRSD 2006-2015) signed between the Commission

and the UNDP. 445 officials serving in 41 cities and districts were involved to these trainings.

Presentations on “Rules of civil servant register maintenance”, “Rules of civil servant personal

file holding”, “Ethics conduct rules of civil servants”, “Rules of interviewing”, “Job

descriptions of civil servants”, “Modern approach to the HRM” were conducted for local

executive power bodies; presentations on “Ethics conduct rules of civil servants” and “Modern

approach to the HRM” were conducted for local and regional divisions of central executive

power bodies. CDs with training materials and civil service legislation were distributed

between participants.

Training on the “HRM in civil service – international experience” was organized in the

Justice Academy for persons successfully passed competition to the Ministry of Justice of the

7

Republic of Azerbaijan. Information about objectives and functions of the HRM, civil service

systems and their specific features was given during the training.

During reporting period, the Commission conducted trainings in the HRM for own

personnel.

In order to organize enforcement of article 22-1 of Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan

“On civil service” and the “Rules on type, form, term and financial provision of professional

development of civil servants” approved by Decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the

Republic of Azerbaijan No 44 dated of 19 March 2009 under this article, the Commission

studied professional development and re-training needs of civil servants serving in 217 state

bodies. Inquires covered 40 central, 79 local executive power and 98 justice bodies. Results

were analysed, professional development and re-training needs of civil servants for 2010 were

summarized and submitted to the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

There are some problems preventing the Commission to completely fulfil functions in

the field of professional development of civil servants. Thus, absence of specialized

structure divisions in the field of professional development of civil servants and non-provision

of means in budget as separate clause for professional development of civil servants prevent

implementation of certain actions in this field.

In order to increase public trust to the state policy in the HRM field, the Commission

regularly informs the society about its performance through mass media.

The Commission uses its web-site www.csc.gov.az or www.dqmk.gov.az as a main

source of official information to build more live connections with citizens, ensure information

access and performance transparency. The web page completely meets requirements of Law of

Azerbaijan “On information access”. General information about Azerbaijan is also reflected

here. Web-site of the Commission is also used as communication tool with the citizens. Thus,

the web-site allows citizens to directly contact management and personnel of the Commission.

At the same time, polls on actual aspects of the HRM in civil service are also carried out

through the web-site. These polls are updated once in two months.

The Commission regularly undertakes different actions in order to find out public opinion

about improvement of the civil service recruitment rules. Opportunity for citizens to directly

apply to the Commission with proposals was created on the web site with these purposes.

Mostly, the citizens are concerned with proposals about interviewing improvement. Proposals

basically are related to involvement of independent experts to interviews. Considering above

8

mentioned and some problems arisen during interviewing and in order to increase public trust

and make interviewing as more efficient and professional process, involvement of independent

experts to interviews turned into considerable importance. Despite of the fact that the

Commission started work on independent expert base creation, their involvement to interviews

was impossible without settlement of financial issues related to payment for their work.

The Commission informs the society about reforming in civil service and achievements

in this direction through different events held in the country. Presentation dedicated to the

“Evaluation in civil service recruitment process” was made in the regional conference of

International Association on Education Evaluation organized in Baku by the State Student

Entrance Commission of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Reports on “World Tendencies in the

Human Capital Development” and “State Policy in the Human Capital Development” were

made in the international conference “Human Capital, State, Business” organized in Baku by

the company “Allianz Group”.

The meeting with undergraduate students of the Khazar University was held in order to

attract potential youth to the civil service. Participants were informed about main directions of

the Commission’s performance, including civil service recruitment on transparent and

competitive basis, involvement of civil servants to additional professional education, ethics

conduct rules, control over civil service legislation implementation in the state bodies and

following plans of the Commission.

The similar action in this direction was a meeting with the pre-graduated students and

representatives of the different youth organizations of the Sumgait Head Youth and Sport

Department of Sumgait. All participants were informed about reforms carrying out in the civil

service field, performance and future planes of the Commission and the civil service

recruitment rules.

In the field of civil service legislation enforcement:

While analyzing problems arisen during enforcement of the civil service legislation, the

Commission makes proposals on improvement of this legislation and submits drafts of relevant

legal acts with consideration of opinions and proposals of other state bodies.

One of such problems was groundless non-appointment of persons successfully passing

the competition held for filling civil service positions. In order to eliminate this problem, draft

on improvement of the Law “On civil service” was prepared. This draft law was adopted on 30

September 2009 and became effective on 30 October 2009. The Law envisages obligatory

9

appointment to positions the candidates those who successfully passed the competition.

The Commission prepared draft law related to the amendments to article 29 of the Law of

Azerbaijan “On civil service” taking into consideration that mostly candidates successfully

passing the competition are civil servants serving in state bodies where the vacancy exists in

and in order to efficiently use budget means. The Law draft provided for primary participation

of civil servants serving in state bodies where the vacancy exists in order determined by the

legislation. Based on this draft, Law No 806-IIIQD dated of 28 April 2009 “On making

amendments and additions to the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan “On civil service” was

adopted.

In accordance with Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan No 830 dated

of 3 October 2008, the draft of “Rules of a type, form, period and financial provision of

professional development of civil servant” was prepared considering opinions and proposals of

other state bodies and approved under decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of

Azerbaijan No 44 dated of 19 March 2009. Objective of these Rules is efficiency increase in

performance of civil servants, development of their theoretical and practical skills, abilities and

professional competencies in relation with implementation of service functions.

In accordance with mentioned Decree, draft of the “Rules of recruitment to state bodies

through competition” was prepared considering opinions and proposals of other state bodies

and approved under Decree of the President of Azerbaijan No 108 dated of 24 June 2009.

Basing on clause 8 of these Rules, the Commission prepared, approved and registered in the

Ministry of Justice the “Rules of organization, conduct, evaluation of testing examination on

civil service recruitment in state bodies and determination of passing score on administrative

position category” and “Rules of preparation and examination of test samples for test

examination held in relation with civil service recruitment in state bodies”.

In accordance with Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan No 108 dated

of 24 June 2009, draft of the “General requirements of vacant position holding corresponding

to the sixth-ninth categories of administrative positions” was prepared, submitted and adopted

under decision of the Cabinet of Ministers No 143 dated of 17 September 2009.

Standard legal acts adopted by the Commission were conformed to the “Rules of

recruitment to state bodies through competition”. Thus, relevant additions and amendments

were made to the “Rules of civil service recruitment and interviewing for holding

administrative positions” and “Rules of reserve staff formalization for holding positions

10

corresponded to the sixth-ninth categories of administrative positions in state bodies”.

“Requirements to transparency increase in competitions” and “Requirements on

behaviour of the panel of interviewers” approved by the Commission was improved by

relevant amendments and additions.

The Commission undertook relevant actions to execute control over observance of the

ethics conduct rules set forth by the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan “On ethics conduct

rules of civil servants”, to coordinate matters related to enforcement of the Law and to inform

about ethics conduct issues.

New sub-division related to the ethics conduct was launched at the web site of the

Commission. It includes the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan “On ethics conduct rules of

civil servants”, internal ethics rules of the Commission and other state bodies, on-line system

for applications of citizens to the Commission. This is aimed to the strengthening of public

control over civil servant performance and building public efficiency of the web site of the

Commission.

1000 brochures about ethics conduct rules were published and distributed to civil

servants and citizens in 2009.

Investigation was carried out on complaints and information received by the Commission

from civil servants and citizens in relation with ethics conduct rules violation – legal actions

were undertaken.

On 12 January 2009 Valida Jabiyeva lodged the complaint to the Commission in relation

with violation of the ethics conduct rules (requirement of article 6.2 of the Law “On ethics

conduct rules of civil servants”) against her by Mustafa Mammadov, leading consultant of the

Pension Provision Sector of the Khachmaz district department of the State Social Protection

Fund of the Republic of Azerbaijan. She also complained on her partial dismissal by the

management. The Commission investigated this complaint. In result, the complaint was met

and disciplinary penalty actions were invoked to M.Mammadov violated ethics conduct rules.

At the same time, V.Jabiyeva was restored in her position.

On 10 March 2009 Aziza Nasirova lodged the complaint to the Commission concerning

contradictions to the ethics conduct rules (requirement of article 12.1 of the Law “On ethics

conduct rules of civil servants”) against the first deputy head of the Aghsu Executive Power,

Rasim Novruzov and his employees Tahir Khasi, Atakishi Gasimov. The Commission

investigated this complaint. In result, the complaint was not corroborated.

11

Four complaints, entered to the Commission during end of November and December in

relation with violation of the ethics conduct rules, are still investigated.

Low number of complaints of citizens received in relation with ethics conduct rules

violation requires public awareness raising in this field. The Commission plans to undertake

actions next year to inform citizens about ethics conduct rules of civil servants and expected

behaviour of civil servants.

“Action Plan” of the Commission for 2009 in relation with execution of the Plan related

to implementation of the “National Strategy on Transparency Increase and Anti-Corruption”
