United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) UNITED NATIONS OFFICE FOR THE COORDINATION OF HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS (OCHA) HUMANITARIAN SITUATION IN ANGOLA Situation Report Reporting Period: 1 – 15 September 2003 Critical Issues q Fourteen deminers were injured when an anti-tank mine exploded on the Cambaxe – Malanje road in Malanje Municipality. q A meningitis outbreak has been confirmed in Huíla Province and a significant number of cases have been reported in Malanje Province. q Due to the start of the rainy season, humanitarian partners were not able to transport more seeds and tool kits to the interior of Kuanza Sul Province. q A donation of seeds and tools for 8,000 beneficiaries in Lunda Sul was cancelled due to lack of a partner to carry out the distribution. q Most of the seeds and tools for distribution in Moxico Province have yet to arrive. Provincial Update Luanda Province: The Provincial Government transported 2,030 people to Malanje. They are staying in the Katepa transit centre where they are sleeping in the open air and have no access to food, water, sanitation and health assistance. According to provincial authorities, one person died on arrival and no transportation is available for onward travel to areas of origin. Benguela Province: During the reporting period, local authorities closed the Benguela transit centre located in a former military quartering camp and moved the 250 people to the new Capiandalo transit centre approximately five km outside the city centre. An additional 108 demobilised soldiers and their dependents arrived from the former Menga gathering area in Huambo and humanitarian partners report that the people in the new camp are living in substandard conditions. The provincial administration confirmed that between January and August this year, 17,500 people arrived in Chicuma commune, Ganda Municipality, the majority from Huíla Province. Chicuma has been inaccessible to humanitarian partners due to broken bridges and suspected mine infestation and the populations living there lack food, non-food items and medicines. Humanitarian partners plan to begin operations pending verification of the roads. Humanitarian partners report that lack of seeds and tools in locations throughout the province could compromise the upcoming planting season. Shortfalls have been reported in the following areas: 1500 returnees in Yambala; 2,000 families in Barbera commune; and seeds and tools for only 50 families in Cayvi commune. Bié Province: The Kuito – Camacupa road was closed to humanitarian partners after the Chubby demining system detected three mines while verifying the road. An anti-personnel mine was found on 12 September 0.5 km before Chitepa and two more were found two km after Chitepa on 15 September. Demining partners expected to be able to finish clearing the Kuito – Catabola stretch within five days after the incident and another five to seven days to clear the Catabola – Camacupa stretch. Huambo Province: Approximately half of the 300,000 families who require seeds and tools for the upcoming agricultural campaign will receive inputs from humanitarian partners. Partners estimate 80 percent of the seeds and tools that will be distributed to 164,000 families are already in stock in warehouses in the province. The government is expected to provide for the remaining beneficiaries. Humanitarian partners operating nutrition centres in Huambo report that admissions continue to decrease and most centres will be transferred to the Ministry of Health by the end of the year. However, admissions are expected to rise again during the lean season between October and April. Two key bridges were reconstructed during the reporting period: A new aluminium bridge over the River Cusso, a few kilometres north of Bailundo, can bear trucks up to 40 tons and will relieve the bottlenecks in humanitarian assistance for the communes of Luvemba, Bimbe and Hengue, areas where significant distributions for the 2003-2004 agricultural campaign are planned. The bridge over the River Salundo, north of Catabola in Longonjo Municipality, which had been washed away during the last rainy season, was also repaired, allowing access to about 55,000 people who had been isolated from direct assistance. The Mungo – Cambuengo road was declared safe for humanitarian partners after demining partners verified it with the Chubby in August. Critical needs are suspected in isolated locations in the municipalities of Caala, Londuimbali, Ekunha, Longonjo, Bailundo, and Mungo. Vaccination teams have been unable to reach populations in these areas. Information on the needs has been collected from NGOs who walk or bike on paths to the areas. Huíla Province: A meningitis outbreak has been confirmed in Lubango and Matala Municipalities. During the reporting period, 23 cases and five deaths were confirmed in Matala, bringing the total number of cases confirmed to 53 and the total deaths to 15 in the two municipalities since July. Additional cases are suspected but not confirmed in Chipindo and Caconda. Provincial health authorities have intensified the immunisation campaign throughout Lubango and Matala and requested additional anti-meningitis vaccines and medicines from MINSA’s Emergency Essential Drugs Programme in Luanda. Five children were killed when a military storeroom near the Lubango airport caught fire and exploded. Demining partners report that more than 1100 sq metres of land and almost 2,200 km of road have been cleared in Chipindo, Chicomba and Matala. During the demining operations three anti- personnel mines and 451 UXO were found and destroyed and almost 5,000 people received mine awareness training. Kuando Kubango Province: There are now approximately 350 people awaiting transportation at Menongue airport, most of whom will go to Benguela Province. According to provincial authorities, the transportation of demobilised soldiers and their families from Mavinga has concluded and the Mavinga transit centre is now officially closed. Approximately 2,000 demobilised soldiers and dependents have decided to resettle the bairros of Mavinga. A child in Missombo was killed when a UXO was accidentally thrown into a fire. Kuanza Norte Province: Humanitarian partners will distribute approximately 6,000 agriculture kits to families in Ambaca and Cambambe Municipalities and another 5,000 kits in Samba Caju Municipality. However, due to logistical constraints and lack of implementing partners, Banga, Quiculungo and Ngonguembo Municipalities will not be covered in the seeds and tools distribution campaign. During the first two weeks of September, approximately 5,000 persons arrived in the province from Luanda. The majority of them have been transported onwards to their areas of origin. Kuanza Sul Province: Roughly 16,000 demobilised soldiers and their dependents have decided to resettle in Cruzamento and Menga locations in Pambangala. Including the new arrivals, the OCHA Angola 2 Av. Comandante Valódia 206 - 5 Andar, Luanda, Angola Tel. (244-2) 444 321 Fax. (244-2) 442 710 population in the area has increased by over 30,000 people in the last three weeks. Although food assistance will be available for the month of September, there is virtually no primary health care. Roughly 3,200 people from the former gathering areas in Huambo also arrived in Cruzamento and have started rebuilding their homes and are receiving food assistance from humanitarian partners. Local administrators expressed concern that the lack of essential drugs and vaccination coverage combined with the increase in population could lead to the outbreak of epidemics. Mine infestation has hampered the rehabilitation of bridges over the Longo and Ganor Rivers along the main road which connects Quibala with Mussende Municipality. Demining partners report that 22 anti-tank mines were removed from 22 kilometres of road. Reconstruction of the bridge over the Pombuije River is complete. In the last month, 28 anti-tank mines were removed in the area surrounding the bridge. Humanitarian access has continued to expand in the province. Following the most recent security assessment of the area connecting the municipal capital of Quibala with the Caiango district, the only inaccessible areas are Atome, Kassongue Municipality, Botera, Seles Municipality, and Lohne in Quibala Municipality, and Quienha, Mussende Municipality due to poor road conditions. Approximately 20,000 – 25,000 persons are inaccessible to humanitarian partners. However, due to the start of the rainy season, humanitarian partners were not able to transport more seeds and tool kits to the interior of the province. Conditions of the dirt roads connecting Kassongue, Mussende, Ebo and Cela municipal capitals and rural areas are expected to deteriorate further with the arrival of the seasonal rains, with potentially serious repercussions on the agricultural campaign. Lunda Sul Province: The Saurimo – Dala road was closed after an anti-tank mine was found 28 km from Saurimo close to Nanguanza community on 10 September. Deminers destroyed the mine but the road is closed to humanitarian operations pending verification. The Saurima – Dala – Luena road is the most direct route to the Luena airport which humanitarian partners in Lunda Sul rely upon for supplies. Vaccination teams were unable to immunise children against poliomyelitis in the inaccessible areas of Xassengue, Cucumbi, Chiluage, Cabo and Cassai Sul. As of the end of August, more than 66,300 children had been vaccinated during the first two stages of the vaccination campaign. According to provincial authorities, in July and August,

  • 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.

    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.

INTRODUCTION The MENTOR Initiative is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to reducing death and suffering from malaria and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in humanitarian crises. Currently MENTOR is providing support to the most vulnerable communities in Angola, Liberia, Kenya, Central African Republic, South Sudan and Chad. The MENTOR is present in Angola since 2002, working with the National Malaria Control Program to reduce the burden of disease in the provinces of Huambo, Uíge and Zaire. Since 2011, MENTOR is implementing a private health sector malaria program in partnership with the Government and the NGO Population Services International (PSI), introducing combination therapies based on artemisinin (ACTs) and Rapid Diagnostic Tests (TDR) in private pharmacies. In partnership with the Government and the NGO World Learning, a public health malaria programme based on case management and capacity building within the National Health Structure is being implemented. In 2013, the MENTOR Initiative started the Neglected Tropical Disease control programme with the overall purpose to support the Ministry of Health of Angola to achieve a significant reduction in infections of Schistosomiasis, Soil Transmitted Helminths and Lymphatic Filariasis, in areas of high endemicity.

As florestas também fornecem uma vasta gama de bens essenciais, tais como madeira, comida, forragem, medicamentos e também, oportunidades para lazer, renovação espiritual e outros serviços. Hoje em dia, as florestas sofrem pressões devido ao aumento de procura de produtos e serviços com base na terra, o que resulta frequentemente na degradação ou transformação da floresta em formas insustentáveis de utilização da terra. Quando as florestas são perdidas ou severamente degradadas. A sua capacidade de funcionar como reguladores do ambiente também se perde. O resultado é o aumento de perigo de inundações e erosão, a redução na fertilidade do solo e o desaparecimento de plantas e animais. Como resultado, o fornecimento sustentável de bens e serviços das florestas é posto em perigo. Como resposta do aumento de procura de informações fiáveis sobre os recursos de florestas e árvores tanto ao nível nacional como Internacional l, a FAO iniciou uma actividade para dar apoio à monitorização e avaliação de recursos florestais nationais (MANF). O apoio à MANF inclui uma abordagem harmonizada da MANF, a gestão de informação, sistemas de notificação de dados e o apoio à análise do impacto das políticas no processo nacional de tomada de decisão.
