Food security will be the main topic that must be treated before Portuguese Countries Society (CPLP) For the next two years. Slogan Food Sovereignty: A way for sustainable development Guinea -Bissau, on July 18, would propose to the presidency of the Foundation. Despite attempts to progress in recent years, African countries that justify Portuguese have a lot of population in absolute misery. Even in Brazil and Portugal, to a lesser extent, there are installments of the population with difficulties in making the three meals of the day recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).

According to the Brazilian ambassador with CPLP, Juliano Face, food sovereignty is a topic that moves the world and has become one of the main flags in the G20, a group of the richest 20 economies on this planet. Last year, with the Group of Twenty under the Brazilian presidency, The global alliance against hunger and poverty“He says. The coalition has received until complete adhesion from Portugal, who participated for the first time, as a guest, from the Group of Twenty.” “The topic still is of greater importance because it was linked to sustainable development, in a world that is increasingly affected by climate change.”

In agreement between the heads of the nine countries of the nine countries that are part of the CPLP, it was agreed that Angola will refer to the future executive secretary, who effectively plays the daily life of the institution. “From these definitions, from the country that will be with the presidency of the executive secretary and his appointment, the following steps will be to prepare the records with all the proposed topics for the presidents of nine countries in July, and the economic issue will be increasingly weight, in order to increase production, jobs and income, to reduce social inequality.”

In general, data from Development Index (HDI) The United Nations, which was revealed this week, indicates that only Brazil was able to excel effectively in the ranking. Between 2022 and 2023, in the first year of the current period of President Louise Insio Lula da Silva, the country climbed five positions, from 89 to 84, with an average index of 0.786 – the better. Portugal, with 0.890, went from 41 to 40 per table.

From African countries, almost all of them saw Stagnar or the fall. Equatorial Guinea (0.674), declined from 132 to 133 of the center; Cape Verde (0.668), stopped at 135th place; Sao Tome and Principe (0.636) remained in 141st and Timor-Stere, 142; Angola (0.616) fell from 146 to 148 in the center; Guinea -Bissau (0.514) went from 175 to 174 at the center; Mozambique (0.493), with the worst HDI in CPLP countries, remained in the 182nd.

The attractiveness of the private sector

The need to increase the economic growth of CPLP countries has prompted the establishment of a two -year board of directors on the proposal of Angola. Progress, however, shy. During this period, CPLP was unable to create an effective dialogue with the private sector to attract business and investments to countries. “We need to progress in this regard, the private sector must be an effective partner of CPLP, to be heard and encouraged,” says the Brazilian actor in the entity. “But everything is an educational issue. The most important thing is that today we have a council that focuses on economic issues and we believe that bureaucrats have been overcome.”

For Juliano Face, CPLP countries need a major diagnosis of their economies, highlighting the capabilities of each country, and knowing how trade currents can between them and search solutions so that they can exchange goods and services to move forward. This diagnosis must be accompanied by legal certainty, to ensure businessmen and investors that they will not be surprised by sudden changes in legislation and even contracts. Money, as we know, does not accept discontent.

“Even without effective data on hand, we know that there is tremendous economic potential between CPLP countries. Brazil and Portugal, which are the main economies, have turned into Africa, but there is a long way to cut it,” the ambassador says. “Coordination of the rules is essential to attract private capital,” he says, noting that in June, CPLP will hold a great meeting with entrepreneurs and investors so that they can hear their demands and understand how the countries of society see it.
