The present study allows us to develop a reflection on public policies and local development in Angola, its impact on the lives of citizens, in the light of qualitative methodology. It is, however, a study in the area of ??research in Political Sociology and Public Policies, at the Escola Superior Politécnica de Malanje. In terms of supporting theory, opt for Functionalism, since society has needs and, as an organism, if those requirements are no longer satisfied and collapse. For example, refer to this article and include a citizen in the public policy making process, then opting for a public policy model from the bottom up, as well as a governance model based on administrative decentralization and which responds as real citizens' needs. The results presented show that local development in English depends not only on the type of leadership, but also on the type of public policies that are developed. On the other hand, the low investment in local communities, occurs for the depopulation of them and, as a consequence, or the overpopulation of urban centers, such as tracking serious problems of basic sanitation and other calamities. The municipalization of public services is the best strategy for solving social problems that affect citizens.
