Tunisia Launches Major External Competition to Strengthen State Control Body
Official Decision by Prime Minister Sarra Zaafrani Zenzri
In a recent official decision by Prime Minister Sarra Zaafrani Zenzri, Tunisia has launched a significant external competition to strengthen its state control body. The details of this procedure, aimed at recruiting assistant state controllers, were published in the latest issue of the Official Journal of the Tunisian Republic, dated May 5, 2026.
Opportunity for High-Achieving Graduates
The Tunisian administration is targeting high-level profiles to meet the demands of the position. This competition primarily addresses holders of a Doctorate or Master's degree in strategic fields such as law, economics, management, or accounting.
However, special attention is given to professionals in auditing. For these individuals, access to the competition is conditional upon a solid practical experience. They must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience in a registered accounting firm or a certified public accountant's office, as listed on the Order of Certified Public Accountants in Tunisia.
Rigorous Selection Process
The selection of future leaders of the Government Presidency is organized in two stages. In the first stage, a commission carefully examines the candidates' applications to evaluate their academic and professional backgrounds. Following this pre-selection phase, the selected candidates are invited to an oral examination. This interview with the jury is crucial, as it carries a coefficient of two, compared to a coefficient of one for the examination of the file.
Precise Modalities for Application
The application process has been simplified into two distinct steps. During the initial registration, the applicant must provide the standard identification and diploma documents, accompanied by a comprehensive curriculum vitae detailing their research works and publications. A derogation on the age limit is also provided for candidates who can prove prior civil service or active registration with a job center.
Only after confirmation of their success will the candidates need to complete their file with the required administrative documents, including a birth certificate, a judicial record (bulletin n°3), and a medical certificate attesting to their physical and mental aptitude, all dated within the last three months.
How to Apply?
Interested candidates must act quickly upon the official opening of the competition. Applications can be sent by mail or deposited directly at the Central Order Bureau of the Government Presidency, located on Kasbah Square in Tunis. The exact number of available positions and the deadline for submission will be specified in a forthcoming complementary decree.
