The study was undertaken to assess the impact of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine crisis on MSMEs in Angola, the role regional integration plays in post pandemic recovery, and how technology and innovation are being used by MSMEs to address the impacts of the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

The basis of the study is a survey of 147 MSMEs across the provinces of Luanda, Huila and Huambo, but strongly concentrated in Luanda, capital city of Angola. Besides the overrepresentation of businesses in the capital, the sample reveals an under-representation of agricultural units, these are biases that were considered when the results of the study were analysed.
