evidence: 10. This section reviews specific aspects of Angola’s enabling environment in the context of needed medium-term improvements in private investment and productivity. Angola ranks poorly across nearly all sub-rankings of the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI, 2019), including enabling environment (macroeconomic stability, as discussed above, as well as infrastructure), and especially skills and innovation capability (Figure 4). A strong enabling environment is needed to attract private investment and boost productivity. This includes macroeconomic stability, competitiveness, governance (including the anti-corruption framework), and the regulatory environment. At the same time, improving infrastructure and human capital is also critical to boosting productivity. [...] 31. Improving agricultural productivity and competitiveness requires a shift in the manner of government support of the sector toward more provision of public goods. The authorities PRODESI program appropriately targets the agriculture sector as a priority for non-oil sector development (Box 2). The training and capacity-building programs provided by PRODESI and the Ministry of Agriculture for farmers is a positive step toward addressing some of the sector’s shortcomings noted above. However, at a more fundamental level, the authorities should shift their means of support away from price support – in particular, trade restrictions – and private subsidies and toward providing public goods. This includes building water irrigation networks, information systems for weather events, and improved access to inputs such as seeds and fertilizers. The authorities should also build a climate resilient agricultural sector as the sector suffers from rising temperature and increased rainfall variability due to climate changes (Box 1).
