Federal
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Technical Aid Corps (TAC) Massive
Recruitment
2013 (Over 1000 Positions).
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 2013 –
2015 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:
o Sharing Nigeria’s know-how and expertise with other ACP countries
o Giving assistance on the basis of assessed and perceived needs of
recipient countries
o Promoting cooperation and understanding between Nigeria and recipient
countries
o Facilitating meaningful contact between youths of Nigeria and those of
recipient countries
o Complementing other forms of assistance to ACP countries
o Ensuring a streamlined programme of assistance to other developing
countries
o Acting as a channel through which South-South collaboration is enhanced
o Establishing a presence in countries which, for economic reasons,
Nigeria has no resident diplomatic mission. Nigeria Technical Aid Corps (TAC)
