Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs Technical Aid Corps (TAC) Various Jobs Vacancies in Nigeria

Directorate of Technical Aid Corps, Federal
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja, invites applications from suitably
qualified Nigerians for the recruitment into the Nigerian Aid Corps Scheme for
the 2012 – 2014 Biennium.
The Technical Aid Corps (TAC) scheme is a viable volunteer
programme operated by an African country across ACP countries. From
independence, aid and technical assistance have been at the core of Nigeria’s
foreign policy objectives.

TAC began in 1987 to complement direct financial aid from Nigeria to ACP
countries through skills exchange towards strengthening international
understanding and cooperation.

The Federal Government of Nigeria in 1987 established the Nigerian Technical
Aid Corps (TAC) scheme as a foreign policy tool that would serve specific
national interests.

The statute establishing the scheme – Decree 27 – was signed into a law on 22
January 1993 and officially documented on 5 May 1993, thus giving it a legal
backing and framework.

As an instrument of Nigeria’s foreign policy, the TAC programme is an
alternative to direct financial aid for African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP)
nations.

It is designed, not only to provide manpower assistance in all fields of human
endeavour, but to also represent a practical demonstration of South-South
cooperation. (South-South refers to underdeveloped and developing countries in
the southern hemisphere).

Objectives

Key objectives of the scheme are:

Sharing Nigeria’s know-how and expertise with other ACP
countries
Giving assistance on the basis of assessed and
perceived needs of recipient countries
Ensuring a streamlined programme of assistance to other
developing countries
Acting as a channel through which South-South
collaboration is enhanced
Establishing a presence in countries which, for
economic reasons, Nigeria has no resident diplomatic mission.
Promoting cooperation and understanding between Nigeria
and recipient countries
Facilitating meaningful contact between youths of
Nigeria and those of recipient countries
Complementing other forms of assistance to ACP
countries
