Opportunities are permanent enabling circumstances for corruption. Empirical evidence exists that administrative discretion (lack of administrative transparency and poor regulation) combined with unaccountable resources (non-transparent public finance, both from domestic sources and international aid) create opportunities for corruption.

Constraints are permanent disabling circumstances of corruption. They encompass the legal response of authorities as well as the response by society (a free press and digitally enabled citizens organized as civil society or as individual voters).

Societies manage to control corruption if they find the right balance between opportunities and constraints.

Angola's Corruption Forecast

Forecasted trend:
Stationary
Angola has only improved in the past decade on demand for good government proxied by e-citizens, although more progress is needed. The situation remains poor on judicial independence and press freedom, where the country is still lagging among its peers and has hardly improved in the last 10 years. The legacy of government favoritism needs to be gradually eliminated by the removal of administrative and economic privileges for those connected with the government: the missing transparency items from the T-Index offer a clear roadmap for this country, starting with public financial and conflict of interest disclosures for politicians, mining concessions, land cadaster and building permits. Even the number of e-citizens remains too small for a critical mass to constantly demand good governance, although the small free media does its best. The forecast remains stationary.

Budget Transparency 6.93 4.02 -1
Judicial Independence 2.66 2.37 0

For Budget Transparency, period considered is 2008-2019. For Judicial Independence, period considered is 2011-2019. For Press Freedom, period considered is 2007-2017. Due to insufficient data on Facebook users, E-citizenship was computed as the mean of the remaining two sub-indicators (fixed broadband subscriptions and Internet users). Missing values for 2020 in either of the sub-indicators were replaced with the latest available data point.
