The Restrictions Imposed By The Pandemic Emergency Have Significantly Affected Both Households And Private Enterprises. Informal Employment Has Risen During This Situation And Accounts For Nearly 8 Out Of 10 Jobs In Angola.Widespread Informality Is Associated With Poor Coverage Under Social Protection, Limited Access To Skills Development And Entrepreneurship Support, Low Financial Inclusion, Lack Of Decent Jobs, Working Poverty, Gender Inequalities, And Poor Use Of Digital Technologies, Among Others. The Angolan Government Has Responded To These Challenges By Adopting A Response Plan To Covid-19 And Launching The Program For The Reconversion Of Informal Economy (Prei), Led By The Ministry Of Economy And Planning (Mep) To Promote A Transition Strategy From Theinformal To The Formal Economy.The Project Aims To Foster An Inclusive Transition From The Informal Economy To Achieve A Major Outcome: Increased Formalization Of Informal Workers To Enhance Access To Social Services, Credit, And Business Development Services. Achieving These Outcomes Will Mean Strengthening The National Capacities To Effectively Operationalize And Monitor The Prei, With A Strong Focus On Women, Youth, And Key Vulnerable Populations. It Also Implies Enhancing The Inclusion Of Informal Workers Under The Social Protection Regime, Promoting Social Dialogue With Informal Workers And Their Representatives, And Enhancing The Adoption Of Digital Financial Services (Dfss) And Access To Financial Services.To Promote Effective Implementation Of The Prei, This Project Aims To Strengthen The Technical Capacities, Including The Design Of A Campaign To Promote The Formalization, Capacity-Building Support To The Local Services In The Informal Markets, And Analysis Of The Informal Economy.
