Ndalatando - Angola’s minister of Territorial Administration Dionísio da Fonseca has considered the implementation of the new political-administrative division of the country as one of the challenges posed to the government.
Speaking Thursday in Lucala, northern Cuanza Norte province, Dionísio da Fonseca pointed mainly to the creation of the conditions for the effective delivery of services to the population.
At the end of his 48-hour visit to the province of Cuanza Norte, the minister said the government's project for the new political-administrative division of the country is focused on improving the quality and bringing closer basic social services to citizens.
“Once in place, citizens will no longer have to travel long distances to meet their needs,” he concluded.
He underlined that the Executive is working toward mobilisation of financial resources to ensure that the citizen has education, health, identity card and other services close to him.
He says he understands society's skepticism towards this proposal, but advises citizens to think about a long-term project, rather than the immediate one.
The proposal for a new politico-administrative division of the country provides for the division of the provinces of Moxico and Cuando Cubango, raising to 20 territories at the provincial level, rather than the current 18.
It also provides for the elevation of communes and districts to the rank of municipalities, raising to 581 municipalities, instead of the current 164.
