Summary

This paper reviews Angola’s recent reform efforts to strengthen good governance and fight corruption. Angola has achieved some progress on the governance and anti-corruption fronts since 2018, but the strong momentum observed through 2022 has abated. Gaps in most governance indicators remain sizeable and have started to widen in some cases. Closing these gaps is expected to deliver sizeable economic growth. While the legal framework is broadly appropriate, institutional autonomy, independence, and technical capacity to enforce this legal framework supported by the adoption of more transparent, publicly accessible, participatory, and digitally automated procedures have generally lagged.

Subject: Corruption, Crime
