Statement on the Structural Reform of the General Secretariat

Dr. Salim addresses staff members of the General Secretariat on the Structural Reforms of the institution.

"The Restructuring of the General Secretariat resulted in the creation of five departments, six specialized/representational offices with a staff complement of 457 employees as compared to the old structure which had a staff complement of 667 employees. With respect to the Scientific Offices, the Structure proposes a new relationship which, while ensuring OAU's continued financial and political support, will provide the offices with autonomy to pursue their objectives and programmes." - Dr. Salim, June 11, 1999
