What works in Angola

Angola has achieved women's parliamentary representation of 38.6% by February 2024, well above both its 30% statutory minimum and the global average of approximately 27%, with the first woman Assembly President elected in 2022 following Law 20/10's 2010 mandate. The country is pursuing large-scale digital expansion through a $300 million World Bank loan approved in June 2024 targeting over 13 million people and 1,980km of new fibre-optic infrastructure, though this remains an early-stage project without yet-measured outcomes. A pilot AI-personalised learning programme across 10 provinces launches in February 2026, but no learning outcomes data exist yet. Collectively, these practices show Angola pursuing ambitious gender and digital-inclusion goals, though the infrastructure and education initiatives remain in announcement or early-implementation phases without independent evaluation.
