Recognition of religion or belief in Guinea-Bissau
According to the SRR, conditions for RoRB in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau are classified ambiguous.

Overview:
Recognition and registration are amalgamated rather than ideally differentiated; there exists few to no provisions for existential recognition or legal registration, only operational licences which do not equate to either.
Although the rule of mandatory registration may be infrequent imposed, its mere existence in the legislation violates the Bielefeldt provision.
A great deal of unstructure exists within the recognition system thus leading to its disregard which is not a positive situation as it demonstrates a lack of authority to bestow recognition and to protect this status.
Positive elements:
Horizontal recognition is in effect.
Recommendations:
Establish provisions for existential recognition not just legal registration; establish a clear, authoritative system for religious recognition in order to reach the receptive classification.
Fix the unstructure present in the legislation by clarifying stances on topics not presently addressed.
To become dynamic, establish a recognition agency to manage the system independent of government.
