Africa-Press – Angola. The Council of Ministers recommended, Friday (04), to the provincial governments, the elaboration of the Integrated Intervention Plans of each one of the provinces.
The President of the Republic led the special session of the Council of Ministers with the governors of the 17 provinces, with the exception of Luanda, to prepare the start of the process of preparing the Integrated Intervention Plans for each of the country’s seventeen provinces.
After preparing the documents, the Council of Ministers will hold special sessions for the approval, one by one, of the Integrated Intervention Plans for each province.
The Minister of Territory Administration, Dionísio da Fonseca, who spoke to the press at the end of the session, said that these Integrated Plans will focus on the most worrying problems in each of the provinces, namely in the field of Education and Health.
In the field of Health, according to the minister, greater attention is intended to be given to the construction of first and second level health units. “Construction of posts, health centers and municipal hospitals”, he reinforced.
The minister recalled that in the last term, a large investment was made for the tertiary levels of the National Health System. Dionísio da Fonseca also referred that the Plans to be drawn up will pay greater attention to the problems of basic sanitation and distribution of electricity.
The Plan will give private investors the opportunity to produce essential goods and services for the population.
The proposals of the provincial governments must, according to Dionísio da Fonseca, be presented beforehand to the Ministry of Territory Administration, which must have the general framework of the projects and submit them to the President of the Republic for final approval.
Due to limited financial resources, said the minister, the preparation of projects must respect the budget ceilings pre-defined by the Government’s economic team and ensure that stalled projects can be privileged in the General State Budget for 2023. In the following years, he pointed out, other projects that are necessary and essential to guarantee the population’s well-being may be included.
Dionísio da Fonseca made it known that the global value of each Plan does not yet exist, since each province has its reality and insufficiencies, “but, in addition to the ordinary resource of the Treasury, there is recourse to a set of credit lines that are being negotiated, which will also be mobilized to finance major projects underway in each of the provinces”.
In the area of Housing, which according to the minister is a priority, the policy is aimed at changing the model that has been implemented so far.
Dionísio da Fonseca stressed that priority will be given to the elaboration of municipal master plans so that municipal administrations and provincial governments can implement subdivision projects and facilitate the process of directed self-construction and, in this way, reduce the problem of lack of housing, mainly, for young people.
