Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Concurso Público de Ingresso na Função Pública in Angola?
It is the statutory, centralized competitive selection examination conducted across Angola for recruiting qualified citizens into permanent career positions (such as Técnico Superior, Técnico, and Técnico Médio) within the direct State Public Administration, administered by ENAPP as the Entidade Recrutadora Única (ERU) under MAPTSS supervision.
What are the key legal reforms under the Lei de Bases da Função Pública (Lei n.º 26/22)?
Lei n.º 26/22 modernized the civil service by revoking the old Lei n.º 17/90. Major reforms include: (1) eliminating the previous 35-year upper age limit for civil service entry (allowing any capable citizen aged 18 or older to apply), (2) reducing the probationary period from 5 years to 1 year, (3) modernizing career categories and performance evaluation rules, and (4) reinforcing merit-based public competition as the mandatory constitutional entry route.
How are applications submitted and what are the fees for the ENAPP civil service exam?
All applications must be submitted digitally via the official SEPE portal (sepe.gov.ao) within the advertised 15-day application window. Participation is completely free of charge (Gratuito / 0 AOA); the Angolan Government strictly prohibits any fees or intermediary facilitation payments for public recruitment competitions.
What subjects and topics are evaluated on the written knowledge test (prova de conhecimentos)?
Under Article 23 of Decreto Presidencial n.º 112/24, the test content is weighted as follows: (1) general notions on the organization of the Public Administration (10%), (2) specific questions on the career area and the candidate's academic/professional qualifications (80%), and (3) questions on ethics, professional deontology, and general culture (10%). For general administration careers this spans the Constitution (CRA), the civil service statute (Lei n.º 26/22), the Código do Procedimento Administrativo (Lei n.º 31/22), public probity (Lei n.º 3/10), and Portuguese-language administrative drafting.
How is the written examination scored and what is the passing mark?
Knowledge tests are scored on a numerical scale of 0 to 20 valores (Article 26 of Decreto Presidencial n.º 112/24). The regulation fixes no universal pass mark: approved candidates are ranked in descending order of merit and appointed within the published vacancy quotas by the titular of the recruiting body (Articles 26 and 31).
Is this practice question bank an official examination simulation?
