Benchmarking Good Governance in Angola: An Analysis of Productive Practices in the Management of Natural Resources

The paper uses qualitative document analysis (2010-2023) to examine Angola’s administrative reforms and adherence to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) as benchmarks for good governance in natural-resource management. It outlines initiatives such as one-stop service centers, judicial audits and anti-corruption strategy, and argues that these reforms signal political will yet suffer from weak enforcement. That study concludes that benchmarking can accelerate sustainable transformation only if backed by robust implementation and monitoring.
