This Decree-Law establishes the Network of Marine Protected Areas of São Tomé and Príncipe (RAMP‑ST) as part of the national framework for marine conservation. Its primary objective is to formally create and classify the first two Marine Protected Areas— Ilhéu das Rolas–Malanza–Jalé (AMP/ST 01) and Santana (AMP/ST 02)— to safeguard ecologically significant habitats and species. It identifies multiple ecological justifications for these designations, including the protection of vulnerable ecosystems, preservation of biodiversity, restoration of degraded habitats, maintenance of fish stocks, and enhancement of climate resilience. This legal framework reflects a broad, participatory process involving local communities, government institutions, and civil society, ensuring that the protected areas reflect consensus and local priorities. It also aims to define the management, zoning, and regulatory regime governing these protected areas, classifying both AMPs as habitat or species management areas and outlines rules for permitted, conditional, and prohibited activities, ensuring sustainable use while preventing actions that threaten ecological integrity. In addition, it establishes requirements for developing management plans within one year, sets out enforcement mechanisms through the national system of sanctions, and introduces transitional provisions to integrate temporary rules into future management plans.

This Decree-Law establishes the National Network of Marine Protected Areas of São Tomé and Príncipe (RNAMP‑STP) and defines its legal framework, with the primary objective of creating a coherent, scientifically grounded and geographically representative system of marine and coastal protected areas. It aims to protect ecologically important habitats, species, and ecosystems—particularly those that are vulnerable, threatened, or biologically diverse—while ensuring the sustainability of marine and fisheries resources. Grounded in national environmental and fisheries legislation, as well as multiple international conventions, the RNAMP‑STP seeks to advance São Tomé and Príncipe’s commitments to biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and global goals such as SDG 14 and the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. In addition, it aims to define a comprehensive governance, management, and enforcement system to ensure effective conservation outcomes. This includes setting out categories of marine protected areas, establishing zoning and levels of protection, creating management plans supported by monitoring and financing programmes, and instituting mechanisms for public participation, co‑management, and transparent decision‑making. The Decree-Law also introduces a full regulatory framework for prohibited and conditional activities, surveillance and inspection procedures, administrative offences, penalties, and coordination between national and regional authorities.

This Presidential Legislative Decree establishes the legal framework for the creation, organization, management, operation, and development of Rural Industrial Parks (PIR) in Angola. Its primary objective is to regulate how these parks are formed and administered, ensuring they serve as structured industrial zones designed to host small, mainly family‑based units dedicated to transforming local agricultural products. By doing so, the decree seeks to promote rural industrialization, support local entrepreneurship, and enhance the productive capacities of rural communities, in alignment with national development goals outlined in the 2023–2027 National Development Plan. In addition, it aims to define the institutional, contractual, and operational conditions governing access to and functioning within the PIR system. This includes determining the roles and responsibilities of the Industrial Development and Technological Innovation Institute of Angola (IDIIA), local government authorities, private managing entities, and investors. Finally, it sets out rules for land rights, concession mechanisms, eligibility criteria for investors, infrastructure obligations, fiscal and administrative responsibilities, and oversight and sanctioning procedures.

This Decree-Law aims primarily to update and strengthen the legal and institutional framework governing the Special Administrative Region of Oe‑Cusse Ambeno (RAEOA), more than a decade after its creation. The reform seeks to correct practical inconsistencies in the existing regime and align the region’s governance model with Timor‑Leste’s broader decentralization strategy. Its main objectives include clarifying the scope of governmental supervision, redefining the autonomy of the region in administrative, financial, and patrimonial matters, and improving coordination mechanisms between central and regional institutions. The decree also establishes a five‑year transitional period focused on building institutional capacity and gradually enhancing the region’s ability to manage its own resources, ensuring a sustainable and coherent integration with the national system of local governance. In addition, it also aims to restructure the organizational architecture, management instruments, and accountability mechanisms governing RAEOA. It clearly defines the roles of regional organs—including the Authority, the President, Regional Secretaries, and the Consultative Council—and strengthens procedures for planning, budgeting, financial management, procurement, and reporting. Additional goals include enhancing transparency, reinforcing internal controls, and establishing more robust frameworks for human‑resource management, service delivery, and inter‑administrative cooperation.

This Resolution establishes a regulatory framework for the access, supply, and use of desalinated water in the Municipality of São Domingos, with the primary objective of promoting the efficient and sustainable management of water resources. It responds to increasing water scarcity driven by climate change and to the fact that agriculture consumes the largest share of national water resources. It aims to ensure an equitable and well‑regulated distribution system operated by the public irrigation entity Água de Rega (AdR, S.A.), while supporting the transition toward a modern agricultural economy based on efficient irrigation technologies such as drip irrigation. Its overarching goal is to minimize water shortages, reinforce resilience in agricultural production, and guarantee that the growing demand for irrigation water is met in a sustainable manner. In addition, the resolution seeks to safeguard long‑term agricultural productivity and food security by establishing eligibility criteria for users, defining the technical and contractual obligations for water use, and setting clear rules on consumption limits and monitoring. It emphasizes sustainable farming practices, efficient irrigation scheduling, and responsible fertilization, while prioritizing desalinated water for areas with poor‑quality or insufficient groundwater. The resolution also outlines economic mechanisms—including pricing based on production costs and potential subsidies—to encourage efficient use of desalinated water.

This Resolution approves the National Strategy for the Exploitation of Inert Materials (ENEI 2025–2030), aimed to transform Cabo Verde’s extraction sector into a modern, regulated, and environmentally sustainable pillar of national development. Its primary objectives include addressing widespread informality, illegal extraction, environmental degradation, and territorial inequalities in the supply of sand, gravel, pyroclasts, and other aggregates. The resolution seeks to ensure responsible and resilient use of these essential resources by strengthening governance through legislative reform, introducing multi‑year licensing, enforcing environmental guarantees, and creating new institutional bodies such as the National Technical Unit for Geology and the National Council for the Exploitation of Inert Materials. It also aims to produce reliable geological data, improve coordination among authorities, and align the sector with national and international commitments, including the Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, the resolution outlines strategic objectives for reducing illegal sand extraction and ensuring each inhabited island has at least one licensed quarry. It promotes environmental recovery plans, territorial cohesion, and social inclusiveness, while enhancing the economic contribution of the sector with a target of reaching 1% of GDP by 2030. The strategy emphasizes the development of a comprehensive national geoportal, capacity‑building initiatives, investment attraction, and the integration of environmental and territorial planning to mitigate ecological impacts such as coastal erosion and habitat loss.

This Presidential Decree approves the Strategy for the Development of the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events) segment in Angola aimed to give the country a competitive and internationally recognized destination for business and event tourism. Its primary objectives include modernizing and expanding event‑related infrastructure, improving national and international connectivity, and establishing the institutional mechanisms required to attract and retain high‑impact events. Central to this approach is the creation of the Angola Convention Bureau (ACB), which will lead the promotion, coordination, and facilitation of events, while strengthening partnerships between public and private stakeholders. Additionally, the strategy seeks to enhance Angola’s capacity to host international conferences by investing in tourism facilities, transport networks, digital connectivity, and new or upgraded conference venues. A second major objective of the Strategy is to professionalize the tourism workforce, integrating international service standards through dedicated training programmes in event management, multilingual hospitality, and technical certification for local suppliers. The plan also promotes Angola as a hybrid “business and leisure” (bleisure) destination, reinforcing the country’s cultural and natural assets alongside its business environment. Complementary objectives include strengthening international promotion, establishing strategic partnerships, implementing sustainable practices aligned with ESG principles, and creating fiscal and financial incentives to attract global event organizers.

This Act establishes a mechanism for state aid to protect industrial stability while requiring technological modernization. The Act provides temporary financial relief for high electricity costs to specific industrial sectors. This support is intended to prevent the relocation of production and the associated loss of jobs due to international energy price volatility.
Access to the subsidy is restricted to companies that meet specific technical and economic criteria. Eligible entities must operate in designated energy-intensive sectors, maintain an annual electricity consumption of at least 15 GWh, and demonstrate an energy intensity where electricity costs represent at least 5% of their gross value added. Additionally, beneficiaries are required to implement and maintain a certified energy management system, such as ISO 50001, to ensure a baseline of operational efficiency.
The financial relief covers a maximum of 50% of a company's annual electricity consumption for the years 2026 through 2028. To maintain market integrity, the Act sets price floors and ceilings: the net price for subsidized electricity cannot drop below €50/MWh, and the aid itself cannot exceed half of the reference market price. All aid is issued as an advance payment with a subsequent mandatory reconciliation process to ensure that the total support remains within the legal limits and accounts for any other energy-related state aid received.
A core requirement of the Act is the obligation for recipients to reinvest at least 50% of the received funds into sustainable industrial upgrades. Permissible investments include on-site renewable energy generation, energy storage systems, hydrogen technologies, and the electrification of manufacturing processes to replace fossil fuel use. Compliance is monitored through mandatory reporting and inspections, with strict penalties—including the full return of aid and significant fines—for entities that fail to meet reinvestment targets or violate restrictions on corporate dividend payouts.
