SUMMARY:

This study analyzes the role of the State in social and economic development in Angola
from the end of the civil war, during the period from 2002 to 2017. Following the path
of economist Amartya Sen, we discuss development as an expansion of human
freedoms, especially as a result of progress with regard to health, education and income,
and the role of the Angolan State in these fields. The results found show us that after
2002, the development of the country is remarkable, years of rapid growth driven by
high production and oil prices helped in the reconstruction of infrastructure and in the
formulation of public policies in the country. However, high levels of poverty,
inequality and regional disparities still persist in Angola, affecting different peoples,
from Cabinda to Cunene. In this sense, the study uses the Human Development Index
(HDI) and other complementary measures, such as the income dimension measured by
the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, the education dimension measured by the
schooling index, which takes into account the average years of schooling of the
population, and the dimension of health measured by life expectancy at birth, to capture
different dimensions of people's well-being and quality of life. To achieve the proposed
objectives, the study is characterized as an exploratory, descriptive and explanatory
research of a quantitative nature, using the database of the United Nations Development
Program (UNDP), Center for Studies and Scientific Research of the Catholic University
of Angola (CEIC), National Bank of Angola (BNA), Ministry of Finance (MLNFIN)
and the National Statistics Institute of Angola (INE).
