Luanda – The Council of Ministers approved today, Monday, the Balance Report of the 2017/2022 mandate, in which it highlights the main milestones achieved and challenges faced by the Government marked by the Covi-19 pandemic and the economic crisis.
The document approved in this seventh and last ordinary session of the Council of Ministers, led by the President of the Republic, João Lourenço, highlights the efforts of the Government in the consolidation of the Democratic State and the Rule of Law, as well as the implementation of a set of institutional and economic reforms.
Despite the economic and financial crisis that the country has been facing since 2014, and the Covid-19 pandemic that shook the world at the end of 2019, the government said it had worked to solve major problems afflicting the population, adopting decisive measures to avoid a more difficult scenario than the one registered.
As part of the materialization of the measures contained in the Draft Simplification of Procedures in Public Administration (Simplifica 1.0), the Council of Ministers approved a diploma establishing the Regulation on the Issue, Allocation and Use of License for Internal Repatriation of Corpses.
The document attributes to the Ministry of Health, as licensing organ, the competence to grant or authorize the applicant entity to transport or transfer the corpse from one province to another.
The approval of this diploma, besides closing the existing gap on the subject in reference, simplifies the procedures for the license issuing for the repatriation of corpses, eliminating the requirement of documents such as the Death Certificate, Health Information, Health Declaration and the Police Declaration of Corpse Transportation.
After the entry into force of this diploma, it will only be necessary, by the applicant, to present the request form, a copy of the Identity Card (BI) and a Death Certificate or any other equivalent document.
Regarding the Public Administration, Labour and Social Security Sector, the Council of Ministers approved a diploma that establishes the Legal Regime of the National Qualifications System, defining the instruments and structures necessary for its functioning and development, in order to improve the articulation of education and professional training with the labour market and civil society.
