French term or phrase: effectuer la passation de service
2) trois notes de service individuelles ordonnant à des directeurs centraux d'effectuer la passation de service;

I haven't really got much context to give as this is a list of documents attached to the comments of a trade union in Madagascar, but I don't have the documents concerned. So, I don't know whether anyone can help without further context.

Does it mean three individual service notes ordering the national directors to transfer to a different service?

The only context that might help from the rest of the document is that this union is alleging that the Government dismissed and transferred a number of labour inspectors holding senior posts within the Ministry of Labour after they participated in a trade union demonstration aimed at obtaining improved working conditions for labour inspection staff.

Number 3 in the list of documents is:

3) quatre décisions individuelles d'affectation a des inspecteurs du travail dont deux occupant des fonctions syndicales.

Explanation:
Looking at this article (from Madagascar), which talks about the ''passation de service'' from one minister to another, makes me think that this is what it means: the transfer of power to the newly-appointed minister.

La passation de service entre le ministre sortant, Marcel Ranjeva, et le nouveau ministre des Affaires étrangères, Ny Hasina Andriamanjato, s’est déroulée ce lundi 23 mars 2009 au ministère à Anosy. Le général Marcel Ranjeva a attendu l’installation officielle par la Haute Cour Constitutionnelle (HCC) du président de la Haute Autorité de la Transition (HAT) pour faire la passation avec le nouveau ministre de la transition. Il a alors a annoncé que « toute chose a une fin. Son titre de ministre des affaires étrangères prend fin et celui de Ny Hasina Andriamanjato commence ».

Of course, in your text, the power is being transferred not from minister to minister but from directors to directors (if I am interpreting this correctly).


Here is another example of the handing over of power, from one director to another this time (in Madagascar):

Le directeur avance qu’il ne veut pas s’opposer à son limogeage et qu’il est prêt à procéder à la passation de service avec le nouveau directeur.
Cette passation de service entre l’ancien et le nouveau directeur aurait dû avoir lieu dans l’après - midi d’hier
