| description |
This report presents the economic
potential of renewable natural resources (forests, wildlife
and fisheries), and identifies opportunities for enhancing
the sectors’ contribution to both the national and local
economies in Angola (Section two). Given the strong focus of
the ongoing CPF on economic diversification, the report
focuses on these selected sectors whose sustainable use
offers opportunities for diversifying the economy, creating
jobs and improving local livelihoods. In light of the
implementation of the World Bank’s new Environmental and
Social Framework (ESF), the report assesses the current
national legislation and policy framework for assessing and
mitigating potential environmental and social risks and
impacts caused by investment projects and proposes
opportunities which can support in strengthening the
national capacity in order to facilitate project design and
implementation following the World Bank’s due diligence
(Section three). The report then assesses the current policy
and institutional framework for addressing climate change in
Angola and proposes opportunities to support these (Section
four). Finally, the report concludes by proposing
opportunities for World Bank engagement in the sectors
selected (forests, wildlife and fisheries), as well as in
enhancing environmental management capacity and building
resilience to climate change.A World Bank mission was
organized to Angola in October 2018, and collected data
relevant to the study and discussed with government
officials, development partners, CSOs, and other relevant
stakeholders the status, priorities, and potential
opportunities for each of the sectors considered. This
report uses data and information collected during the
mission and shared by government institutions and other
stakeholders, as well as data and literature that are
publicly available. The report also uses information
collected as part of the World Bank report on Central
African Coastal Fisheries (which assessed the fisheries
sector of countries within the Regional Commission of
Fisheries of Gulf of Guinea [Commission Régionale des Pêches
du Golfe de Guinée, COREP]—of which Angola is a part), and
for which a World Bank mission was organized in May 2018. |
