Fair of Municipalities
Aimed at socio-economic development and the diversification of the country’s economy, the Municipalities Fair will bring together exhibitions from 164 municipal administrations, 18 provincial governments, ministries and public institutes.
Taking place in an area of 5,000 square meters, at the Nossa Senhora do Monte stadium, the fair will also bring together public/private companies, regulatory bodies, startups, representatives of civil society organizations, among other entities.
The province of Huíla hosts the exhibition this year under the motto “Life is made in municipalities”.
The FMCA is an initiative that serves to share information about municipalities and cities, their programs, projects and investment opportunities.
The event can be seen as a way to discover business and cooperation opportunities, as well as to discover the potential of each municipality and city in Angola.
The FMCA also aims to encourage local development throughout the country, as well as to promote cooperation and exchange between different cities and municipalities in Angola.
The last edition of the Municipalities and Cities Fair took place in November 2018 at the National Stadium in Ombaka, Benguela. It brought together 250 companies from the country’s 164 municipalities and representatives from six ministerial departments.
