ANGOLA FOOD SECURITY UPDATE July 2003 ANGOLA FOOD SECURITY UPDATE July 2003 Highlights The food security situation continues to improve in parts of the country, with the overall number of people estimated to need food assistance reduced by four percent in July 2003 relieving pressure on the food aid pipeline. The price of the least-expensive food basket also continues to decline after the main harvest, reflecting an improvement in access to food. According to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the results of both the latest nutritional surveys as well as the trend analysis on admissions and readmissions to nutritional rehabilitation programs indicate a clear improvement in the nutritional situation of people in the provinces considered at risk (Benguela, Bie, Kuando Kubango). However, the situation in Huambo and Huila Provinces still warrants some concern. Household food stocks are beginning to run out just two months after the main harvest in the Planalto area, especially for the displaced and returnee populations. In response to the current food crisis, relief agencies in Angola have intensified their relief efforts in food insecure areas, particularly in the Planalto. More than 37,000 returnees have been registered for food assistance in Huambo, Benguela, Huila and Kuando Kubango. The current food aid pipeline looks good. Cereal availability has improved following recent donor contributions of maize. Cereal and pulse projections indicate that total requirements will be covered until the end of October 2003. Since the planned number of beneficiaries for June and July 2003 decreased by four percent, it is estimated that the overall availability of commodities will cover local food needs until end of November 2003. Improved Food Security Situation The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is undertaking an assessment in Huila to verify the food security situation of the old IDPs and resettled population in Caconda and Caluquembe municipalities, where these groups have been receiving food aid for the past two agricultural seasons. WFP expects that people in these areas have developed the means to cope without further direct assistance, and therefore plans to phase out its operations. Around 33,450 people are likely to be removed from the free food aid distribution plan and be shifted to FFW projects that will be identified by Government together with the communities. A number of nutritional surveys have indicated a stable to improving food security situation in specific areas. For instance, Medeins Sans Frontieres (MSF) Belgium reports that nutritional surveys conducted in April/May 2003 in IDP camps in Kuito reveal a stable to slightly better picture, with global acute malnutrition rates estimated at six percent (compared to seven in April 2002) and severe acute malnutrition at 0.3 percent. In Camacupa IDP camps, the nutritional situation is also stable. Simultaneous field security and rapid critical needs assessments were carried out in different areas of Bie Province, including Gamba, Caiei, Dando, Salombinge and Cangondo areas of Nharea Municipality and in Luando area of Cuemba municipality. Preliminary results indicate no critical food needs in these areas. A stable nutritional situation has also been reported by MSF Holland in Cambundi Catembo municipality. The report states that although malnutrition levels are low at the moment, the food situation needs to be closely monitored at the beginning of the lean period. Improved food security conditions have been reported in Kalandula municipality in Malange province. Many of the returnee farm families in Kalandula have begun to construct traditional granaries, where they are storing maize, peanut and bean seeds in preparation for the coming agricultural season. WFP field staff reported that many traders are coming to Kalandula to buy cassava from residents for re-sale in other areas of the province. The resurgence of trade in the area gives a clear indication that farmers have been able to produce a crop sufficient for the market and build seed reserves for the following cropping season. Continuing Food Insecurity Food insecurity remains high in areas where large numbers of returnees continue to arrive. The flow of people into Huambo Province from various family reception areas in the country is particularly high, with a further 6,340 people registered in the last week of June. The areas at highest risk to food insecurity are the localities of Bimbe and Hengue (Bailundo), Tchinhama and Tchiumbo (Catchiungo), Tchipeio (Ekunha), Chilata (Longonjo), Cambuengo (Mungo), Sambo, Samboto (TchicalaTcholoanga), Chiaca (Tchinjenje) and Mundundo (Ukuma). Results of the rapid food needs assessment conducted by the RFNA Group in the southern part of Samboto Commune (Huambo Province), provide clear indications of food insecurity among the returnee population. WFP plans to address the problem through agricultural recovery-oriented assistance. In Kuando Kubango, the influx of displaced people from Quembo, Tembo and Luengue areas continues, with 580 people arriving during the first week of July in search of humanitarian assistance that could not be delivered to their areas of origin due to continuing security restrictions. IDPs and returnees continue to need food aid in Mavinga, Cuangar, Cuito-Cuanavale, Cuchi and Menongue Municipalities. Emerging Food Crisis As the wet season approaches, the food insecurity situation in currently inaccessible areas is likely to deteriorate. Poor road access will limit the food supply through markets, moreover humanitarian agencies will face serious difficulties in reaching current food aid beneficiaries. The distribution of agricultural seeds and tools for the next cropping season will also be compromised. Table 1 shows areas that are likely to face a food crisis as road access conditions deteriorate. Table 1.

This is due to a combination of both Source: FWP VAM Database adequate availability of locally produced food as well as the good supply of imported foods from Namibia. Food prices in the cassava-based agriculture provinces of Uige, Malange and Zaire range on average from US$20 to $25/month, while the maize-based central regions have the highest prices at around US$ 35 per month. Persisting High Malnutrition Rates Despite general improvements in the nutritional situation, specific concerns remain over high rates of malnutrition reported in parts of the country. According to a UNICEF report, the nutritional situation seems to be particularly fragile in the outskirts of Huambo town. A nutritional survey carried out in May 2003 among children 6-59 months living in Huambo town showed a Global Acute Malnutrition rate (GAM) of <5%, while the Therapeutic Feeding Centres (TFC) in Bailundo and Caala registered in May 178 and 120 new admissions, respectively. WFP VAM has reported critical nutritional situations in the localities of Bimbe (Bailundo), Tchinhama (Catchiungo), Cumbira and Galanga (Londuimbali), Chilata (Longonjo), Cambuengo (Mungo), Mbave, Sambo and Samboto (Tchic.Tchol.), Tchiaca (Tchinjenje) and Cacomaand Mundundo (Ukuma). The poor nutritional situation results, in part, from limited access to those areas, which in turn limits the provision of adequate health services. Areas where the situation is less critical, but needs close monitoring include: Hengue, Lunge and Luvemba (Bailundo), Catataand Cuima (in Caála) Tchiumbo (Catchiungo), Tchipeio (Ekunha), Catabola (in Longonjo), Mungo (Mungo), Tchicala Tcholoanmga and Tchinjenje. UNICEF also reported that the nutritional situation in selected parts of Huila required close monitoring. A nutrition survey carried out in the former family reception areas of Matala in March 2003 showed the Page 3 of 7 highest GAM among children 5-59 months, at 7.4 percent, when compared with the other 9 surveys conducted this year in other parts of the country. It should be mentioned, however, that in June 2002, a survey conducted in the same area reported a much worse GAM rate of 18.7 percent. Food Stocks at Household Level Two months after the main harvest, household food stocks are already beginning to run out. Food reserve estimates reported in the last Vulnerability Analysis suggest that in the Planalto region as a whole, IDPs would be able to use their own harvests to meet their cereal and bean consumption requirements for an average period of 10 days, but some would be able to stretch to 51 days at a maximum.

  • Annual Report 2000
    ANGOLA May, 2001 This Annual Report is intended for reporting on the Federation's Annual Appeals only. Appeal No. 01.16/2000 Appeal Target: CHF 1,877,000 The Context Since gaining its independence from Portugal in 1975, Angola has endured almost constant conflict. The 1994 Lusaka peace accord and the formation of the United Government of National Reconciliation in April 1997 gave rise to hopes of sustainable development and peace in the country. However, clashes between the government and UNITA continued and in May 1998 both sides prepared for war. Fighting increased dramatically from December 1998, once again plunging the country into a full scale civil war and dramatically increasing the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs). Following a largely successful government campaign which began in October 1999 to flush out UNITA from its traditional strongholds in the central highlands, military activity shifted and extended to the borders with neighbouring countries - Namibia, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia. This intense fighting created a new wave of IDPs resulting in large numbers of Angolans crossing the borders, and continued insecurity with reported ambushes, incidents of attacks on villages and an increase in mine incidents resulting in many casualties throughout the country. The agriculture sector particularly suffered with the ongoing hostilities as an estimated seven million land mines around the country render farmland inaccessible and force increasing numbers to abandon their property. Government support to health and education remains low, with funds diverted to defence. Much of the country's infrastructure such as roads, bridges and railways already destroyed by the conflict, has further eroded, and most roads are now closed due to the ongoing insecurity.

  • Working Paper Reference
    Working Paper Civil wars and state formation: violence and the politics of legitimacy in angola, côte d'ivoire and south sudan PECLARD, Didier, et al. Abstract Civil wars do not only destroy existing political orders. They contribute to shaping new ones, and thereby play a crucial role in dynamics of state formation. This working paper is based on a 2-year research project funded by the Swiss Network of International Studies and conducted by a consortium of five research institutions in Switzerland and Africa. It reflects on the social construction of order and legitimacy during and after violent conflict by focusing on political orders put in place by armed groups, their strategies to legitimize their (violent) action as well as their claim to power, and on the extent to which they strive and manage to institutionalize their military power and transform it into political domination. Drawing on case studies in Angola, Côte d'Ivoire and South Sudan, it shows how strategies of legitimization are central to understanding the politics of armed groups and their relation to the state, how international aid agencies impact on the legitimacy of armed groups and state actors, and how continuities between war and peace, especially in key sectors such as security forces, need to be taken [...] Reference PECLARD, Didier, et al.
