Public Policies to Mitigate Hunger and Poverty in Angola. Case of the Municipality of Bembe, Province of Uíge (2021-2023).

Abstract

This study addresses public policies for hunger and poverty mitigation in Angola, particularly in the municipality of Bembe, Uíge Province. The overall objective was to analyze the impact of public policies implemented by the government between 2021 and 2023 on hunger and poverty mitigation in the municipality. The research used a qualitative and quantitative approach, where data were collected through questionnaires and interviews, using a digital platform (Google Form), and analyzed using tools (Power BI, LiveGap Charts) and statistical software (Python and SPSS), which ensured data security, accuracy, reliability, and visualization. Qualitative data were analyzed using content and thematic analysis techniques to identify patterns and emerging themes, enabling a broad and multidisciplinary understanding of the perceptions and challenges related to public policies for hunger and poverty mitigation. Thus, it was concluded that the public policies implemented by the government to combat hunger and poverty from 2021 to 2023 did not significantly impact the development of the municipality of Bembe. This essentially leads us to the rush for new actions that enable changes in this paradigm, in ways that will improve the lifestyle of residents, prioritizing sustainable development, well-being, and quality of life. Therefore, we accept the study's second hypothesis: that the public policies implemented by the government took a clinical view of family life but, unfortunately, did not have a significant impact on mitigating hunger and poverty in the municipality.
