The Minister of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Agio Pereira, met with the President of the Civil Service Commission (CFP), Agostinho Letêncio de Deus, accompanied by commissioners Agapito da Conceição, Jorge Paiva Araújo, and Anita Tavares Ribeiro de Jesus, to review the status of the work carried out by the Commission and discuss priorities for 2026 in the context of public administration reform and state human resources management. 

During the meeting, the CFP President delivered a report on the Commission’s recent activities, including oversight of discipline, mandatory retirement, and human resource management, with a particular emphasis on the education and health sectors. It was also noted that documents will be prepared for submission to the Council of Ministers to define strategic guidelines.

In the context of institutional oversight activities, CFP members reported that monitoring efforts in ministries and public institutions will be enhanced in 2026, including oversight visits conducted in coordination with other State institutions. These activities have enabled the identification of issues related to the administrative and financial management of some public entities.

During the meeting, discussions also centred on replacing teachers who have reached retirement age, promoting healthcare professionals, and reforming the public administration process, including proposals to reorganise careers, review the size of the state workforce, and strengthen payment management and control systems.
