Facts & Stats

The Republic of Angola ( República de Angola ) is Africa’s seventh-largest nation situated just off the west coast of Southern Africa. Angola enjoys great biological and geographical diversity with an abundance of pristine beaches, tropical rainforests, majestic deserts, and little rivers coursing the length and breadth of the country.

Since the nation struck oil in 1955, economic growth has been rapid, driving gains in infrastructure, health, and education, and propelling Angola to the level of a growing superpower on the African continent.

While human development still has a long way to go, Angola holds promise for businesses looking to expand their footprint to tap into a growing market of highly-qualified professionals.

More and more multinational companies are moving into the country (particularly in the resources sector), bringing a steady stream of expats. With exposure to these global companies, local Angolan talent are beginning to build strong English fluency.
