Discover the main reasons to invest in Angola.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The regime for Public-Private Partnerships and foreign investment in Angola guarantees stability, legal certainty and balanced risk sharing, in line with the best international practices. Legislation is evolving to make it increasingly attractive to the private sector, introducing greater agility and clarity into the process of designing, approving and implementing a PPP. At the same time, autonomy and transparency in process management are expected to increase, with the DNPPP and other entities in the ecosystem playing an increasingly clear and effective role in coordinating and monitoring partnerships. These reforms strengthen regulatory predictability and create more favorable conditions for national and international investors.

Climate Commitments and Resilient Infrastructure

Angola recognizes the challenges posed by climate change and has sought to transform this reality into an opportunity for sustainable development. The National Strategy for Climate Change (ENAC 2018 – 2030/2035) defines as vision a country adapted to the impact of climate change and committed to a low-carbon growth model This strategy combines mitigation and adaptation measures in sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, energy, transport, water resources, health and coastal planning.

The Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 2021 reinforces this commitment, establishing clear emission reduction and adaptation targets in line with the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. Angola has sought to integrate climate concerns into its main national planning instruments and into international and regional partnerships, with emphasis on cooperation within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and initiatives such as the Great Green Wall Initiative and AFR100, which contribute to the resilience of ecosystems.

For investors, this climate agenda translates into a long-term vision that favors the creation of more resilient infrastructures, the reduction of risks associated with extreme phenomena and the valuation of projects aligned with global sustainability criteria.

Financing Instruments and Investment Incentives

Angola offers a diverse range of investment support mechanisms, including tax incentives, special regimes for structuring projects and access to multilateral funding. The country has been consolidating instruments that increase investor confidence and facilitate the mobilization of capital, both nationally and internationally.

In the climate field, Angola is at an advanced stage of preparing a robust operational framework for green and social financing, capable of channeling innovative instruments into resilient infrastructure projects. Green and blue obligations are highlighted, in line with the National Strategy for Climate Change and the priorities defined in the NDC.

At the same time, measures have been outlined for the creation of a National Climate Fund, the exploitation of debt swaps by nature or climate, the development of voluntary markets and carbon compliance, as well as sovereign climate risk financing strategies, in light of the recommendations of the United Nations Development Programme in the Roadmap for Action for Angola.

These tools are complemented by the framework of the Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFF), which provide a solid basis for aligning financing policies with national development priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals.

The commitment to climate finance puts Angola at the forefront of the transition to a responsible and resilient investment model. For private investors, this means access to opportunities aligned with the best global ESG practices, greater long-term predictability and the potential for appreciation in international financial markets that are increasingly oriented towards green and sustainable criteria.
