For civil service officers, specifically those within the Central Secretariat Service (CSS), the current procedures for Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs) remain in effect. Discussions regarding the introduction of new, possibly ‘colored’ ACR forms have not yet reached a final conclusion. Therefore, government departments and ministries are advised to continue using the existing ACR forms for the appraisal process. This ensures continuity and avoids any disruption in personnel administration while the review of new form designs progresses.
