Joint Executive Decree No. 5/26 approving the Procedures Manual for Public-Private Partnerships.

This Joint Executive Decree aims primarily to approve and operationalize a comprehensive Manual of Procedures for Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Angola, establishing a standardized framework for the identification, preparation, contracting, execution and monitoring of PPP projects. The decree seeks to ensure uniformity, transparency, and technical rigor in PPP processes, thereby strengthening investor confidence and improving governance in public investment. It establishes PPPs as a key instrument to mobilize private capital, transfer technical expertise and innovation, and support the development of infrastructure and public services in a context of fiscal constraints and growing demand for services. In addition, the decree aims to enhance the effectiveness, sustainability and accountability of PPP projects by providing detailed methodological guidance across the full project cycle, including project selection, feasibility studies, risk allocation, procurement, contract management and monitoring. The Manual emphasizes the integration of economic, financial, environmental, social and climate considerations, including impact assessments, resilience to climate risks, and social inclusion aspects. It also clarifies institutional roles and responsibilities, establishes procedures for public procurement and contract governance, and promotes best practices such as performance-based management, risk sharing, and long-term service quality.
