India Seeks IPS Officers for Key UN Roles in Africa

The Ministry of Home Affairs invites nominations for senior-level roles at the UN Office in the African Union, seeking qualified IPS officers to serve in Addis Ababa. These positions aim to bolster India's representation in international policing for peacekeeping efforts.

The Indian Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) commenced the recruitment process for two senior roles at the United Nations Office in the African Union (UNOAU). The positions aim to appoint eligible Indian Police Service (IPS) officers for strategic advisory duties in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Prompted by India's Permanent Mission to the UN, the MHA seeks qualified candidates for Police Planning Adviser and Police Reform Adviser posts, necessitating SP or DIG-level officers. The initiative emphasizes enhancing Indian representation in key international policing efforts.

Nominations should align with the United Nations framework and include all requisite documentation by the May 8, 2026, deadline. A digital submission protocol supports the government's move towards paperless administration.
