Africa-Press – Angola. The Angolan government is reinforcing its economic development strategy through the implementation of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), within the framework of the 2023-2027 National Development Plan.
The information was disclosed Tuesday by the head of the Public-Private Partnership Monitoring Department, Katila Ferreira, during a training workshop promoted by the Ministry of Planning, which brought together technicians linked to the Secretariats of Integrated Economic Development, Statistics and Planning.
The official explained that this model allows the State to share risks and costs with the private sector, while maintaining ownership of the assets.
“National entrepreneurs have a concrete opportunity to participate here and can even partner with foreign partners to strengthen their technical capacity,” she said.
According to the manager, all national companies are invited to act as private partners in PPP projects, provided they have specific technical capacity as construction companies in infrastructure works or managers in the health sector.
She highlighted the possibility for local entrepreneurs forming consortia with foreign groups to add experience, emphasizing that PPPs are fundamental to assisting governments in implementing infrastructure, especially in the face of global financial limitations.
Katila Ferreira said that the tourism sector appears as one of the main bets, with emphasis on the Calandula Falls, pointed out as the main PPP pilot project in the province.
The proposal aims to improve management, attract more tourists, and increase the profitability of this important natural resource.
