Africa-Press – Angola. Angola needs approximately two thousand mid-level technicians to cover the fisheries sector by 2035, as part of country’s Human Capital Development Plan (ACH2023-2037), the Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MINPERMAR), Carmen do Sacramento Neto, said Saturday in Luanda.
Speaking to press as part of the National Conference on Human Capital, which closed in Luanda, the Minister emphasized that specialized personnel in the fisheries and ocean conservation sector is a challenge.
She added that the fisheries sector also needs lawyers, economists, naval and construction engineers for infrastructure, as well as biologists for fisheries biology.
“We need biologists for ecology, so there is a challenge here that fits within a framework policy, a macro policy, that has been implemented in all national development plans,” she stressed.
For the complementarity of this desiderate, the institution has professional schools in the provinces of Namibe, Luanda and Benguela.
Regarding management, he pointed out that at least 200 specialists are needed to manage the national coastal area.
The National Conference on Human Capital will take place from the 29th to the 30th of this month in Luanda, with approximately 2,200 participants, exceeding the expected 2,000, due to the high participation of residents in the country and the diaspora.
The meeting, taking place in Parcela A of Luanda Bay, is part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of National Independence and is the result of an initiative by the President of the Republic, João Lourenço, aimed at discussing policies for training and developing national professionals, recognizing human capital as the foundation of development and sovereignty.
Under the motto “Human Capital and the Development of Angola,” the forum brings together delegates from 12 countries and covers 36 topics on technical training, higher education, scientific research, and teacher training, using the National Human Capital Development Plan as its reference document.
