Local Power and Traditional Authorities in Angola: challenges and opportunities

Abstract

The research seeks to analyze Local Government in Angola, a sub-Saharan African country, and its constituent institutions, explicitly recognized in the 2010’ Angola Constitution. However, is known that Local Government and the decentralized and participatory institutions that compose it require much more than its formal recognition in constitutional and legal texts. It is necessary to develop participatory political institutions. And this is the great challenge of democratic local governance in Angolan in this 21st century.
