The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Government of Angola have agreed to cooperate on developing a national Next Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP) strategy.
Signed by Angola's Minister of Transport Ricardo Daniel Sandão Quérois Viegas de Abreu and ICAO Secretary General Juan Carlos Salazar, this ambitious new agreement represents a significant step toward establishing a sustainable and robust aviation workforce to support the country's growing air transport system.
The NGAP strategy will be designed to address the workforce needs of Angola's aviation industry over the next 15 years through capacity-building. It targets enhanced training capabilities and facilities, and the development of comprehensive plans to attract, educate, train, and retain the next generation of aviation professionals.
This, in turn, is key to ensuring the availability of a skilled workforce, capable of contributing effectively to progress towards zero fatality and zero emissions global strategic aspirational goals for air transport, as determined by the Member States of ICAO. This initiative aims to create diverse and rewarding career opportunities in aviation for young Angolans across the country, especially women and girls. It represents a significant step forward for Angola, reflecting the government's commitment to global aviation standards and plans and to the long-term development of its aviation sector.
