  • Teacher Education and Sustainable Development Goals: a Case Study with Future Biology Teachers in an Angolan Higher Education Institution
    sustainability Article Teacher Education and Sustainable Development Goals: A Case Study with Future Biology Teachers in an Angolan Higher Education Institution António Valter Chisingui 1 and Nilza Costa 2,* 1 Department of Natural Sciences, Higher Institute of Education Sciences (ISCED-HUÍLA), Sarmento Rodrigues St., 230 Lubango, Angola; [email protected] 2 Research Centre on Didactics and Technology in the Education of Trainers (CIDTFF), University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 2 April 2020; Accepted: 13 April 2020; Published: 20 April 2020 Abstract: National education policies are increasingly regulated by international agendas, for example the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development (SD). However, in order to put such policies into practice, social actors like teachers and teacher educators must include them in their practices. In this context, this study stems from the following research question: how does initial teacher education (ITE) promote the SD Agendas (2030 and 2063 for Africa)? The approach to this question is carried out through a case study focused on an Angolan teacher education higher education institution, in its graduate course for future secondary school biology teachers. The main aims of this study are (i) to characterize how ITE includes SD and (ii) to suggest ways to improve SD, particularly focusing on students’ future professional needs. Data were gathered from document analysis (the pedagogical curriculum plan of the course; titles and abstracts of final-year future biology teachers’ essays) and an interview with the course director of the biology teaching program of the Angolan institution. Content analysis of the gathered evidence was based on a three-dimensional framework: (a) SD goals (SDG) and the curriculum; (b) teacher education principles; and (c) current Angolan curricular perspectives.

  • Inventário Florestal Nacional, Guia De Campo Para Recolha De Dados
    Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais de Angola Inventário Florestal Nacional Guia de campo para recolha de dados . NFMA Working Paper No 41/P– Rome, Luanda 2009 Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais As florestas são essenciais para o bem-estar da humanidade. Constitui as fundações para a vida sobre a terra através de funções ecológicas, a regulação do clima e recursos hídricos e servem como habitat para plantas e animais. 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.

  • The Botanical Exploration of Angola by Germans During the 19Th and 20Th Centuries, with Biographical Sketches and Notes on Collections and Herbaria
    Blumea 65, 2020: 126–161 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/blumea.2020.65.02.06 The botanical exploration of Angola by Germans during the 19th and 20th centuries, with biographical sketches and notes on collections and herbaria E. Figueiredo1, *, G.F. Smith1, S. Dressler 2 Key words Abstract A catalogue of 29 German individuals who were active in the botanical exploration of Angola during the 19th and 20th centuries is presented. One of these is likely of Swiss nationality but with significant links to German Angola settlers in Angola. The catalogue includes information on the places of collecting activity, dates on which locations botanical exploration were visited, the whereabouts of preserved exsiccata, maps with itineraries, and biographical information on the German explorers collectors. Initial botanical exploration in Angola by Germans was linked to efforts to establish and expand Germany’s plant collections colonies in Africa. Later exploration followed after some Germans had settled in the country. However, Angola was never under German control. The most intense period of German collecting activity in this south-tropical African country took place from the early-1870s to 1900. Twenty-four Germans collected plant specimens in Angola for deposition in herbaria in continental Europe, mostly in Germany. Five other naturalists or explorers were active in Angola but collections have not been located under their names or were made by someone else. A further three col- lectors, who are sometimes cited as having collected material in Angola but did not do so, are also briefly discussed. Citation: Figueiredo E, Smith GF, Dressler S.

  • Ashley Koglin North Huron High School Kinde, MI Angola, Water and Sanitation
    Ashley Koglin North Huron High School Kinde, MI Angola, Water and Sanitation Angola: A New Outlook on Water and Sanitation Education In 1975, The Republic of Angola was established as a country in southwestern Africa. After gaining its independence, the country entered a civil war that lasted almost three decades, ending in 2002. As a large country, Angola has a wide variety of landscapes, including the semi-desert Atlantic area bordering its neighboring country Namibia's “Skeleton Coast.” The interior is sparsely populated rainforest with densely settled towns and cities on the northern coast and north-central river valleys. Located along the Atlantic coast on the northwest side of Angola is the capital city Luanda, named the world's most expensive city multiple times because of the civil war which left the country vulnerable. Rebuilding from the war since 2002, Luanda is still recovering today. Angola is the seventh largest country in Africa with a population of 28.81 million people and a land area of 481,354 sq. miles (smaller than the size of Alaska, but larger than Texas in the United States). The population is 61.5% urban while 38.5% is rural. The most predominantly spoken language is Portuguese along with other mother-tongue languages. Angola has a semi-presidential republic government ruled by President Jose Eduardo and Prime Minister Fernando de Piedade Dias Dos Santos (“Angola”). Angola lies in a sub-tropical zone and yet its climate is relatively cool considering the country’s close proximity to the equator. The coastline is tempered by the cool Benguela Current, resulting in a climate similar to coastal Peru.

  • Benefits and Costs of Social Pensions in Sub-Saharan Africa
    DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1607 Benefits and Costs of Social Pensions Public Disclosure Authorized in Sub-Saharan Africa Melis U. Guven and Phillippe G. Leite Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized June 2016 Benefits and Costs of Social Pensions in Sub-Saharan Africa Melis U. Guven and Phillippe G. Leite June 2016 Abstract The lack of efficient social security systems, the presence of large informal sectors, and the pace at which the population is aging in some Sub-Saharan African countries are red flags warning of a potential long-term problem: that is, the inability of countries to provide old- age income security to all. Many adults in the region have difficulties accessing health care and other essential services, increasing their vulnerability and their likelihood of becoming impoverished as they age. Since the coverage of contribution-based pension schemes has remained low for decades, direct cash grants (henceforth, universal social pensions) are increasingly proposed as a way to address the coverage gap and to fight poverty among the elderly. This paper explores the role of universal social pensions in 12 Sub-Saharan African countries, showing that they may be part of the answer to the coverage gap in pensions and may be important from a human rights lens. However, they have limited impact on poverty because a significant share of the elderly population is found not to fall into the poorest and most vulnerable segments of society. Universal social pensions can also be quite costly, difficult to sustain in low-income settings, and less cost-effective at fighting poverty compared to poverty-targeted cash transfer programs.

  • A Estruturação Do Poder Local Em Angola E a Contribuição Do
    A estruturação do poder local em angola e a contribuição do processo do encontro das comunidades para o seu fortalecimento e democratização A estruturação do poder local em Angola e a contribuição do processo do encontro das comunidades para o seu fortalecimento e democratização1 Belarmino Jelemi* Resumo A estruturação e o fortalecimento do poder local constituem dos principais fundamentos para a efectivação do processo de governação democrática em Angola. O conhecimento da natureza, perfil, forças e fraquezas das principais instituições e actores sociais locais afigura-se essencial para a operacionalização dos preceitos da Constituição da República de 2010 que marcou um avanço importante, estabelecendo para o poder local três segmen- tos interligados, nomeadamente as autarquias locais, as autoridades tradicionais e outras formas de participação dos cidadãos. Mesmo que as autarquias sejam merecedoras de mais mediatização, os outros pilares são também importantes e as formas de participação dos cidadãos, discutidas no presente texto, são a garantia da geração de freios e con- trapesos. Portanto, a relevância das autarquias para os cidadãos, em Angola, está muito dependente, entre outros, do aprofundamento do exercício da cidadania e dos sistemas de controlo locais. Palavras-chave: Constituição. Cidadania. Poder Local. http://dx.doi.org/10.5335/rjd.v28i1.4837 1 Este artigo é proveniente da avaliação das disciplinas Governação Democrática e Autarquias Locais, mi- nistradas pelo professor Doutor Giovani da Silva Corralo, docente convidado dos Programas de Mestrado da Universidade Agostinho Neto - Angola.
