The Government of Angola, headed by João Lourenço, proposed a new political-administrative organization for the country, which is already being presented in the provinces affected by the restructuring through public hearings.

The government's proposal includes the modification of five provinces (Cuando-Cubango, Lunda Norte, Malanje, Uíge and Moxico), being each one separated in two or three different provinces, and is based on the conclusion that the actual organization of these provinces is not suited nor adequate to the efficient management of the territory and fulfillment of the collective needs.

With this reorganization, the Government intends to benefit the governmental action, mitigate asymmetries between eastern and western provinces, promote economic and social growth, approximate governmental and administrative bodies to the population, and develop the national territory with greater harmony, balance and fairness.
