Humanitarian Aid to Vulnerable Populations in Angola Who Are Food Insecure Due to Heavy Rainfall
Humanitarian Aid Decision EUROPEAN COMMISSION HUMANITARIAN AID OFFICE (ECHO) Humanitarian Aid Decision F9 (FED9) Title: Humanitarian aid to vulnerable populations in Angola who are food insecure due to heavy rainfall Location of operation: ANGOLA Amount of decision: 800,000 euro Decision reference number: ECHO/AGO/EDF/2004/01000 Explanatory Memorandum 1 - Rationale, needs and target population: 1.1. - Rationale: The April 2002 ceasefire in Angola, after 27 years of civil war, laid the building blocks for a lasting peace in Angola. It also lifted the curtain which had hidden the true extent of the humanitarian crisis in the country, and triggered movements on an unprecedented scale of the most vulnerable population groups, IDPs and spontaneously returning refugees. According to Government and OCHA figures, up to 3.800.000 people have moved in Angola since the ceasefire, including 50.000 (UNHCR) refugees who have been repatriated in an organised manner and up to 150.000 who have spontaneously returned from neighbouring countries. Humanitarian partners in Angola estimate that 70% of the returns have taken place without any form of assistance from local authorities or humanitarian organisations to areas where the minimum conditions for resettlement were not in place. Tackling this situation has been the major challenge for humanitarian partners since mid-2003, when the nutritional crisis in the country was generally judged to be over, and the post-conflict transition phase to have begun. In spite of this stabilisation, the food security situation remains critical in many areas where vulnerable local and returnee populations have only been able to plant once, or not at all, since the ceasefire. -

Às pessoas mais velhas e às crianças, peço Nsuá (Licença). À minha Avó Mariazinha, à Minha Mãe e Madrinha Valdice Herculana (Mamãe Didi) e à minha Mãe biológica Maria José (Mamãe Zezé), as primeiras mulheres com quem aprendi a reverenciar os antepassados, a benzer com as folhas e a encantar o alimento. À Angola por ter sido acalento e cura para minh’alma. Aos Reis, Rainhas, Jindembo, Osoma, N’gola e Sekulos, por terem reconhecido minha origem angolana, pelo doce acolhimento, por me (re)ensinar a importância da nossa ancestralidade e por verem em mim ‘Makyesi’ (Felicidade). 6 AGRADECIMENTOS Agradecer às pessoas que trilharam conosco os caminhos mais difíceis e, muitas vezes, até improváveis, é uma singela forma de tentar retribuir, recompensar em palavras e gestos, mas é também tentar tornar-se digna de tanta generosidade encontrada nesta intensa e maravilhosa travessia.
