New NGO law: Key changes

On 2 March 2026, Law 2/26 was published, establishing a new legal framework for the activities of non governmental organisations (NGOs) in Angola.

This law substantially repealed the regulatory framework previously established by Presidential Decree 4/15 of 23 March. Law 2/26 applies to all NGOs conducting activities in Angola.

However, it does not apply to private legal entities of an associative or functional nature, for which specific legislation sets out the rules.
