Luanda - The Minister of State and Chief of Staff of the President of the Republic, Adão de Almeida, defended on Tuesday, in Luanda, the need for greater publicity of the Simplifica 2.0 project, which aims to eliminate the “unnecessary formalities” arising access to public services and reduce the number of face-to-face services.
The Simplifica 2.0 Project, approved by Presidential Decree No. 182/22, of 22 June, provides for several simplification measures, de-bureaucratization, digitalization and integration of services, which covers Commercial, Commercial Service Provision and Industrial License.

He added that the training of public administration employees aims to change behavior in the performance of their duties, for the success of the Simplifica 2.0 project. “The behavioral dimension in public services is important, as employees must have best practices and good ethical conduct”, he highlighted.
With Simplifica 2.0, he explained, regarding the Commercial License, which had a validity period of five years, is now valid for an indefinite period.
The Single Commercial License will also be established, adopting the attribution system by reference to the subject, that is, according to the activity to be carried out.
In turn, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Rui Minguêns de Oliveira highlighted the importance of the seminar for employees to learn about changes to the regulatory licensing process in industrial and commercial activities.
The governor made it known that the services are being municipalized, and commercial and industrial licensing processes are already underway in many municipal administrations nationwide.
