O presente trabalho versa sobre as políticas públicas e estratégias de desenvolvimento para S. Tomé e Príncipe. Começa por considerar as características que fazem a vulnerabilidade dos Pequenos Estados Insulares e que precisam ser tomadas em conta na formulação de estratégias que visam o seu desenvolvimento. Seguidamente apresenta o percurso de desenvolvimento de S. Tomé e Príncipe desde a independência até ao presente, sublinhando as dificuldades encontradas e que determinaram a degradação da vida económica e social do País, como consequência da adopção de modelos económicos desajustados. Para a compreensão da actual situação é feita uma abordagem dos vários ensaios de políticas públicas baseada em documentos e entrevistas em profundidade que permitiram o diagnóstico da situação nos vários sectores da economia. Devendo os esforços de análise desembocar num pacote de opções estratégicas de desenvolvimento a médio prazo, o trabalho retoma as principais aspirações dos sãotomenses, conforme recolhidas no quadro do Estudo Nacional de Perspectiva a Longo Prazo, e problematiza em torno das possibilidades e constrangimentos face à necessidade de realização dessas aspirações. Por último, o trabalho centra-se na apresentação de um conjunto de opções estratégicas a médio prazo que são apresentadas sob forma de propostas de políticas sectoriais e de reformas ligadas à governação. As iniciativas em torno das propostas formuladas constituem ponto de partida para a possível descolagem económica a longo prazo.
The present work focus on public policies and strategies aimed at promoting the development of São Tomé and Principe. First it takes into consideration characteristics that make Small Islands States such as São Tomé vulnerable. These characteristics are paramount when formulating new strategies for development. Secondly, it goes through the development path along which São Tomé and Principe evolved from the day it became an independent state until today. This journay reveals the major causes contributing to the progressive deterioration of social and economic life as the result of adopting inadequate economic models. To better understand the current situation we discuss several public policies that have been adopted over the recent years. To accomplish this discussion we undertook a thoroughly analysis of documents and in-depth interviews which in turn allowed us to diagnose the prevailing situation across different sectors of the economy. Our analysis looks back at the aspirations of the São Tomeans as expressed on the National Long Term Perspectives Studies, assesses the possibilities and shortages they face for their fulfilment and proposes a package of medium term development strategic options. Finally, this work presents a set of medium term strategic options in the form of proposals to be implemented within the government framework aimed at developing public policies and reforms to selected economic and social sectors of the São Tomean society. The proposed strategic options are viewed as the starting point of a journey, which will eventually bring forth the economic development of São Tomé and Principe in the long run.
