Structure, Number and Composition of Staff

The DPPC is headed by a Commissioner and a deputy both assigned by the Government. It has recently undergone a restructuring process which aimed at reducing overlapping of responsibilities and downsizing of its staff. Currently, the DPPC has 815 employees of which 329 are women.

• Early Warning
