Introduction
The Directorate General for Administration and the Civil
Service (DGAFP) plays many roles – it is, by turns, an
advisor, an expert, a leader, a regulator and the “keeper
of the regulations”.
In addition to fulfilling its mandate of ensuring consistency
of regulations, the DGAFP is also a key partner for
public employers. It is increasingly called on to lead
interministerial, and even inter-civil service, efforts.
The DGAFP promotes information and experience sharing.
We are fully committed to meeting the challenges of
ensuring the unity of the civil service, encouraging the
pooling of best practices, and helping the civil service
to move forward in every area connected with HR
management. Our goal? A more effective government
administration with a flexible and efficient human resource
management that is attuned to the issues of the day.

context

Over time, the missions of the DGAFP have changed considerably.
There are several reasons for this:
❚ Sweeping modernisation and a change
in both the speed and scope of reforms;
❚ A need for employees’ skills, more than
ever before, to be fully leveraged;
❚ A need to enhance the professional orientation
of employees’ careers, making them more
rewarding and varied, to better serve users.

Interministerial HR jurisdiction
To help it fulfil its
interministerial steering
and support role, the DGAFP
is positioned at the centre
of a number of networks.
These networks are venues
for sharing experience
and information to be
able to pool successful
innovations and best
practices.
❚ Human Resources Directorates (DRH)
seminar (to share guidelines
and innovative practices to introduce
at interministerial level)
❚ DRH Committee
❚ Administrative authority
for the ENA and the IRA
(to recruit and train the Government’s
future senior managers)
❚ EUPAN
(to facilitate discussions between
government departments and both
public and private firms to “make
the State France’s best employer”
Communication based
on HR governance
❚ Senior management network
(to steer HR policies with respect
to senior management)
❚ École de la GRH
(to exchange with EU Member
State directorates/ministries
in charge of the civil service
and government modernisation)
(to share knowledge and best practices
to foster access to operational HRM
and training resources)
❚A
civil service website:
❚ Advisory Board
(to have a network of public
administration experts from
both the public and private sectors)
Leadership
built on four pillars
1
Expertise covering the entire civil service
❚G
eneral staff regulations
(the DGAFP is responsible
for the regulations, their
implementing legislation,
updates and the organisational
principles that concern
all civil servants)
❚S
pecific staff regulations
for the State civil service
(the DGAFP drafts and updates
regulations governing crossdepartmental civil service
positions, such as those for
attachés and administrative
assistants, and coordinates
specific regulations for certain
corps, such as labour inspectors)
❚C
ompensation and benefits schemes (the DGAFP drafts
pay policy including salaries and benefits)
❚ Pensions (the DGAFP establishes regulations
for civil service pension schemes)
❚R
ecruitment and training (the DGAFP ensures
that recruitment and training is more position-specific
and encourages diversity and equal opportunities)
❚ Statistical knowledge (the DGAFP produces official
statistics on the situation of employees and on
HR management within the civil service)
The DGAFP provides expertise on staff regulations,
keeps these regulations up-to-date, and guarantees
their fairness and consistency at interministerial level.
❚ HR Forward Planning (GPRH)
3
conferences (to share innovations
and best practices between
ministries, and establish
the roadmap between the ministries
and the DGAFP)
www.fonction-publique.gouv.fr
(9 million hits per year)

ress relations
❚ T rade fairs
(Salon de l’emploi public,
forums, etc.)
❚N
etwork coordination
(HR managers, training consultants,
mobility and career consultants,

specialists, civil service training
centres, etc.)
A concertation forum for industrial relations
❚H
igher Council for the State Civil Service (CSFPE)
(for discussing all general-interest issues concerning
central government employees and the civil service.
Chaired by the Minister for the Civil Service, it counts
civil service trade unions amongst its members)
❚ Civil Service Joint Council (CCFP)
(set up on 31 January 2012, the CCFP’s purview extends
to all legislation aimed at France’s three civil service branches.
Chaired by the Minister for the Civil Service, it comprises
three groups: trade unions, local and hospital civil service
employers)
Social dialogue need to be seen as a vehicle for momentum,
helping to move forward, fostering mutual benefits,
whilst allowing all stakeholders freedom of judgment
and making them fully accountable.
❚ Interministerial Social
Action Committee (CIAS)
(for suggesting interministerial
social action policies both
nationally and regionally)
The most recent agreements:
❚ Ongoing training (November 2006)

ublications (six collections, including
❚ E-newsletters:
• Trajectoires
(a newsletter from the Minister
for the Civil Service)
• Performances
(senior management issues)
The primary targets of these initiatives are
ministerial HR managers and – for common
topics – the other civil service branches.
Certain events, trade fairs in particular, allow
for more direct contact with the general
public and civil servants.

LES COLLECTIONS
DE LA DGAFP
Directorate General
for Administration
and the Civil Service
Presentation
350 streamlined or eliminated corps and 417 updated recruitment procedures. Notions such
as occupations, results, performance, HR forward planning, career appraisal or advice are now
mainstays. Over and beyond figures and sound bites, these all provide concrete examples of
the changes underway in France’s three civil service branches. HRM modernisation efforts are
overseen by the DGAFP.
The DGAFP is the HR directorate for all government employees, and works closely with the Budget
Directorate and the Secretariat-General for Government Modernisation concerning missions within
their remit.
Annual report Les essentiels
The Rapport annuel sur l’état de la fonction publique sets out
the main tenets of HRM in its “human resources policies and
practices” section and contains a civil service employee review
in its “facts and figures” statistics section, on which the “key
figures” and “summary table” brochures are based.
This collection which is aimed at a wide audience and which
is comprised of informative sheets or records, provides
information on recruitment, competitive examinations, careers,
training and, more broadly, all issues relating to civil servants’
career advancement.
Outils de la GRH
Statistiques et recherche sur la FP
Geared mainly towards HR managers, this collection compiles
a large number of steering support documents in daily use by
HR departments. For example, the interministerial directory
of Central Government jobs (RIME), the Dictionnaire des
compétences, one-off guides and the “Démarches, outils et
acteurs de la mobilité” kit are also part of the collection.
This collection has four sub-collections and is destined for
decision-makers, managers, statisticians and researchers: “Stats
rapides” gives indicators and initial results; “Point Stat”
briefly analyses the results of statistical surveys and studies;
“Documents et méthodes” provides interim reports on research
and methodology work; “Études, recherche et débats” contains
in-depth quantitative and qualitative studies. Politiques d’emploi public
All this collection’s publications address topics related to HR
forward planning, from knowledge to skills management. It
also contains memoranda of understanding drawn up following
negotiations with representative civil service trade unions.
This collection compiles all documents, for either in-house or
external use, which present and promote the DGAFP and its
missions.
