Luanda:Five hundred and fourteen new professionals were certified in Luanda by the National School of Administration and Public Policies (ENAPP) as part of public competitions held in 2025 for entry into the Public Administration.
According to Angola Press News Agency, of the total number of certificates, 442 are allocated to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MINAGRIF), 64 to the VenSncio de Moura Diplomatic Academy, and eight to the Ministry of Territorial Administration.
In statements to the press, Sandra Alves, president of the Board of Directors of ENAPP, emphasized that the competitive bidding processes adhered to all necessary procedures with impartiality and transparency. She noted that vacancies at MINAGRIF and the Ministry of Territorial Administration were filled through the Candidate Pool, a system that utilizes previously approved candidates who had been unable to enroll due to insufficient vacancies.
Alves explained that the new staff members have training in various areas, including Agronomy, Animal Science, Forestry, Rural Sociology, Food Technology, Law, International Relations, Computer Science, Languages, as well as positions for drivers and administrative assistants. After certification, those admitted will attend an integration seminar and subsequently be referred to their respective departments to commence their duties.
Sandra Alves highlighted that this initiative supports the Executive's efforts in promoting employment and integrating young people into the labor market, within the framework of the National Employment Program for 2023-2027. Additionally, she urged the new employees to perform their duties with humility, responsibility, and determination, stressing that working in Public Administration means serving the citizen and contributing to a more efficient state closer to the population.
Alves also announced ongoing recruitment processes, some of which are in the psychometric testing phase, involving institutions like the Ministries of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas, and Planning, as well as the Coffee Institute and the Luanda Science Center.
Natalia Chiyovo, certified by the VenSncio de Moura Diplomatic Academy in Information Technology and Business Management, shared her satisfaction with the achievement. She expressed her joy at finally being admitted to the civil service after efforts since 2022, saying, "Today, I was finally admitted to the civil service, I am very happy, from now on I can solve my problems and support myself."
