Role in marine infrastructure
São Tomé and Príncipe's current ministry website uses the title Ministry of Planning, Finance and Blue Economy. AfDB's BEFIRM pages name the shorter Ministry of Economy and Finance as implementing body and say delivery runs through the Blue Economy Directorate and Satellite Intelligence Unit. That makes the ministry the owner-side coordination point, not the designer or contractor for Neves, Porto Alegre or Chimalô.
