Abstract(s)
Após quase três décadas de guerra civil, Angola celebrou os acordos de paz em 2002, que culminaram com a necessidade de uma reconstrução nacional. O governo angolano promoveu programas habitacionais, tendo a Cidade do Kilamba sido o primeiro projeto habitacional construído em Luanda através de uma parceria sino-angolana que resultou num financiamento chinês de 3,5 mil milhões de dólares, pagos com a exploração do petróleo bruto angolano. Embora a Constituição Angolana preveja a habitação como um direito para todos, os grupos de menor rendimento têm encontrado fortes barreiras para usufruir desse direito com qualidade e segurança. Tal prende-se com o facto de o mercado imobiliário e as instituições financeiras não oferecerem condições atrativas para esses grupos, contribuindo diretamente para o défice habitacional. Deste modo, o presente trabalho traz como pergunta de partida: como se caracterizam os processos de aquisição de habitação própria na Cidade do Kilamba? Optou-se por aplicar uma metodologia qualitativa, desenvolvida por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Foram entrevistados oito indivíduos angolanos residentes na Cidade do Kilamba e que passaram especificamente pelo processo de aquisição de habitação própria nessa cidade. Os resultados indicam que os processos de aquisição foram marcados por uma forte presença de corrupção, em particular o tráfico de influência e o nepotismo, e pela persistência. Posto isto, é importante que as políticas sociais atuem com base na transparência, contribuindo para o combate à desigualdade através de uma distribuição justa e equitativa da habitação.
After almost three decades of civil war, Angola established peace agreements in 2002, which culminated in the need for national reconstruction. The Angolan government promoted housing programs, with City of Kilamba being the first housing project built in Luanda through a Sino-Angolan partnership that resulted in Chinese financing of 3.5 billion dollars, paid for with the exploration of Angolan crude oil. Although the Angolan Constitution considers housing a right for everyone, lower income groups have encountered strong barriers to enjoying this right with quality and safety. This is due to the fact that the real estate market and financial institutions do not offer attractive conditions for these groups, directly contributing to the housing deficit. Therefore, the present work raises the starting question: how are the processes of acquiring housing in the City of Kilamba characterized? We chose to apply a qualitative methodology, developed through semi-structured interviews. Eight Angolan individuals residing in the City of Kilamba and who specifically went through the process of acquiring their own housing in that city were interviewed. The results indicate that the acquisition processes were marked by a strong presence of corruption, in particular influence peddling and nepotism, and by persistence. That said, it is important that social policies act on the basis of transparency, contributing to combating inequality through a fair and equitable distribution of housing.
