Ce texte, promulgué en février 2026, établit le cadre juridique complet pour régir la santé animale, la santé publique vétérinaire et la production animale aux Comores. Il adopte une approche "Une seule santé", intégrant les interactions entre la santé animale, humaine et la protection de l'environnement.
Le code définit d'abord le cadre institutionnel et professionnel. Il organise la profession vétérinaire en distinguant les docteurs vétérinaires, qui ont un champ d'action exclusif (actes médicaux, prescriptions, certifications), des para-professionnels (ingénieurs et techniciens d'élevage) et des agents communautaires de santé animale (ACSA) qui travaillent sous leur supervision. L'Ordre National des Vétérinaires et Para-Vétérinaires est créé pour réguler ces professions.
Une large partie du code est dédiée à la pharmacie vétérinaire. Il définit les médicaments vétérinaires, leurs conditions de prescription, de délivrance et de vente en gros et au détail, ainsi que les règles d'importation. Une procédure d'Autorisation de Mise sur le Marché (AMM) est instaurée pour tout médicament importé ou fabriqué localement.
Concernant la production animale, le code fixe des normes pour les différentes filières (ruminants, volailles, aquaculture, etc.) et impose des conditions de bien-être animal, interdisant les sévices. Il régit également l'apiculture et l'aquaculture. L'amélioration génétique est encadrée, de même que la fabrication et le contrôle des aliments pour animaux.
La police sanitaire est un pilier majeur du code. Une liste de maladies réputées contagieuses et à déclaration obligatoire est établie (fièvre aphteuse, rage, brucellose, etc.). En cas de suspicion, les propriétaires doivent immédiatement déclarer la maladie. Les autorités disposent alors de pouvoirs étendus : quarantaine, abattage sanitaire, interdiction de circulation, etc. Le code régit également l'importation et l'exportation d'animaux et de produits, avec des certificats sanitaires et des contrôles aux frontières obligatoires.
Enfin, le code met en place un système de contrôle sanitaire rigoureux pour les produits d'origine animale destinés à la consommation humaine. Il encadre l'inspection des abattoirs et des denrées, la répression des abattages clandestins et organise la traçabilité des viandes. Des sanctions pénales sont prévues pour les infractions, allant de l'amende à l'emprisonnement, en fonction de la gravité des manquements (exercice illégal, non-déclaration de maladie, fraude, etc.).

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.

The National Standard Indicator Framework (NSI), developed by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) in collaboration with key government institutions, establishes a comprehensive, hierarchical system for standardizing and coordinating over 980 indicators used to monitor Uganda’s development. Structured across four levels, ranging from overarching middle-income aspirations to detailed programme implementation plans. The Framework provides detailed indicator matrices, including definitions, methodologies, data sources, disaggregation, targets and baselines, while assigning responsibilities to relevant ministries, departments and agencies. It supports evidence-based planning and reporting for the National Development Plan III across sectors including agro-industrialization, water and environment, energy and governance, and highlights data availability and gaps. Implementation is coordinated through quarterly updates by UBOS using multiple data sources, with emphasis on harmonization, inter-institutional coordination and reduced reporting burdens. The programme on Natural Resources, Environment, Climate Change, Land and Water Management focuses on reducing environmental degradation and climate risks while promoting sustainable use of ecosystems to support livelihoods, human health and economic growth.

This Presidential Decree approves a Regulation establishing the mandatory adoption of Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) in the production, processing and commercialization chains of coffee, cocoa, oil palm and cashew in Angola. Its main objective is to ensure sustainable agricultural production, improve productivity and quality, and strengthen the economic viability of these value chains, while safeguarding human health, food safety, and environmental protection. The Regulation applies to all public and private actors involved in the value chains, including producers, processors, transporters and exporters, and promotes standardized practices across all stages of production—from cultivation to post-harvest handling—based on principles such as soil conservation, efficient water use, integrated pest management, traceability, and sustainability. The Decree further establishes a regulatory and institutional framework for implementation, monitoring and enforcement of GAPs, including the recognition and registration of programmes administered by the competent authority (notably the Instituto Nacional do Café).
It introduces mechanisms for diagnosis, monitoring, auditing and certification, alongside incentives (financial, technical and capacity-building) to promote compliance, and a system of sanctions for violations, including environmental damage or failure to meet traceability and sustainability standards. The Regulation also integrates social considerations, such as improving working and living conditions for rural workers and prohibiting practices linked to deforestation, thus reinforcing sustainable resource management and responsible agricultural production within the targeted commodity sectors.

This Decree approves the Regulation governing the creation, establishment and operation of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and Industrial Free Zones (IFZs) in Mozambique, including the legal regime applicable to operators and investment projects within these zones. The Regulation aims to promote economic growth, industrialization and structural transformation of the economy by attracting strategic investments and providing favourable infrastructure, legal and institutional conditions. It seeks to diversify the national economy, enhance export capacity, strengthen value chains, create employment opportunities, and foster technological development and innovation, while also promoting regional development and increasing the productive capacity based on local resources. The Regulation establishes a comprehensive framework for the authorization, management, supervision and operation of SEZs and IFZs, including eligibility criteria for activities and investment projects, governance arrangements, and the rights and obligations of operators. It defines procedures for project approval, licensing, and land use rights, and introduces special regimes (labour, migration, fiscal and customs) to facilitate investment and trade, including export-oriented production and customs incentives.
The Regulation also integrates environmental protection requirements, mandating environmental impact assessments and mitigation measures, alongside social responsibility obligations such as local employment, infrastructure provision and community development. Enforcement mechanisms include monitoring, inspections, and sanctions for non-compliance, ensuring alignment with national development and regulatory objectives.

The Law sets out overarching principles such as equality of treatment, protection of property rights, free economic initiative, and adherence to market rules, while ensuring safeguards for investors, including guarantees against unlawful expropriation, the right to transfer funds abroad, and access to dispute resolution mechanisms. The Law further defines the objectives, forms, procedures and obligations associated with investment activities, aiming to foster economic growth, job creation, technological innovation, diversification of exports, and sustainable development. It establishes regimes for investment approval (registration or authorization), provides for the creation of special economic areas such as industrial parks and special economic zones, and outlines investor duties, including compliance with environmental, labour and fiscal regulations. Additionally, it incorporates social responsibility requirements, encouraging investments that support infrastructure development, local employment, environmental protection, and community well-being, while providing a framework for monitoring, dispute resolution, and sanctions in case of non-compliance.

This Presidential Decree establishes the National Observatory on Food and Nutrition Security (ONSAN) as a technical, multi-stakeholder body responsible for the coordination, monitoring and strategic evaluation of food and nutrition security in Angola. Its main objective is to ensure continuous and integrated analysis of the factors influencing the stability of national food and nutrition policies, in line with the National Food and Nutrition Security Strategy (ENSAN II) and national development frameworks. The Observatory serves as a platform for dialogue and coordination among government institutions and civil society, supporting the formulation, implementation and assessment of public policies aimed at guaranteeing access to food and improving the nutritional status and living conditions of the population. The Decree defines the functions, composition and operational framework of ONSAN, which include monitoring key indicators such as food production, availability and access, health and nutrition, income, water and sanitation, as well as conducting research, producing reports and disseminating information. The Observatory integrates multiple ministries and sectors (including agriculture, health, environment, fisheries and social protection) and promotes coordination with international partners. It is supported by a national information and early warning system (SISAN), which compiles data on agriculture, climate, markets, nutrition and vulnerable groups, ensuring evidence-based decision-making.

This Presidential Decree amends the legal framework governing the importation and use of genetically modified (GM) seeds and grains in Angola, within the broader context of promoting agricultural development, economic diversification, and food security. While maintaining the general prohibition on the introduction of genetically modified seeds and grains, the Decree introduces a targeted exception allowing the entry and cultivation of GM cotton and castor bean seeds, excluding their use for edible oil production. The measure aims to strengthen agro-industrial value chains, enhance productivity, and support rural development and private sector participation in agriculture. The Decree also establishes regulatory and control mechanisms for the importation, cultivation, and research of GM varieties, requiring prior authorization from the competent agricultural authority and subjecting such activities to supervision and specific regulatory conditions. It defines a sanctioning regime for illegal introduction of GM materials, including fines and confiscation, with confiscated products to be processed and redistributed for social purposes. The framework thereby seeks to balance biosafety considerations with agricultural development objectives, ensuring controlled use of biotechnology while safeguarding national regulatory oversight.
