O Recenseamento Geral da População e Habitação de Angola, que teve lugar no período de 16 a
31 de Maio de 2014, vulgo Censo 2014, foi realizado pelo Instituto Nacional de Estatística (INE) a
coberto da Lei 3/11 de 14 de Janeiro, Lei do Sistema Estatístico Nacional, e de Legislação conexa
aprovada quer pela Assembleia Nacional como pelo Titular do Poder Executivo.
O Censo 2014 foi realizado em colaboração os Governos Provinciais, Administrações Municipais e
Comunais, as Forças Armadas Angolanas, Polícia Nacional e outras instituições do Estado. Os
resultados do Censo 2014 têm como referência o Momento Censitário que ocorreu a 16 de Maio
de 2014.

On 11 July 2011, President José Eduardo dos Santos opened the first phase of the
new satellite city of Kilamba. Made up of a series of green, blue, yellow and pink
Chinese-designed high-rises, the initial phase of 20,002 apartments was meant to
house approximately 80,000 people and included schools, clinics and new infrastructure.
As the flagship project of the Angolan state’s post-conflict housing
programme, Kilamba was, as Buire (2014: 300) has argued, ‘politically crafted
to be the shop-window of the Angolan miracle’, an indication of the country’s
new-found prosperity. Local media and publications from the ruling MPLA
(Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola) advertised Kilamba as proof
of the post-conflict state’s care for the population and its capacity to overcome
the wreckage of Angola’s twenty-seven-year civil war. However, as much as
Kilamba was meant to be evidence of the new, it reproduced long-standing
links between the state, formality and urban distinction.

Until recently one of the fastest growing economies in
Africa, Angola has long committed to diversifying its
economy to achieve and sustain growth beyond oil. But
the legacies of Angola’s 27-year civil conflict, political
turmoil from 2002 to 2008 and, more recently, poor
economic growth following the collapse of oil prices in
2014 have hindered progress.

President João Lourenço – who replaced José Eduardo dos Santos in 2017 – has been credited with signicant progress in fighting corruption and opening up the political space in Angola. But this has been achieved against a backdrop of economic decline and deepening poverty.
