There are no criminal markets present in the country that have more than a non-existent to minor influence on society. The most prominent criminal markets in the island state are human smuggling, arms trafficking and cannabis, but all three receive scores of 3, indicating no more than a limited, and manageable, influence. Similarly, there are no criminal actors in the country that score higher than 2.5, indicating a very limited reach of organised-criminal actors. With regard to resilience to organised crime, São Tomé and Príncipe lies just below the African average, with a resilience score of 3.79. Although the country has a robust legislative framework in place, both domestically and with regard to international treaties and legal frameworks, there is significant room for improvement in areas, and pro-activeness is required around introducing measures aimed at prevention of organised crime and support for witnesses and victims of organised crime.
