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.

  • 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.

  • SPECIAL REPORT FAO/WFP CROP and FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION to ANGOLA 12 July 2006 Mission Highlights • Rainfall Was the Ma
    SPECIAL REPORT FAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO ANGOLA 12 July 2006 Mission Highlights • Rainfall was the main determinant for Angola’s crop production in 2005/06, with much of the country experiencing excessive rains and/or longer dry spells than usual. • With the recent re-settlement trend in former agricultural areas, there was a small increase in land under cultivation compared with 2004/05, but crop yields were generally lower as a result of poor rainfall distribution. • Production of 2006 maize, the dominant cereal crop, is estimated at 579 000 tonnes, a reduction of over 20 percent from the previous year’s record harvest. Total cereal production is estimated at 742 000 tonnes, down 15.5 percent on last year but up 7 percent on the average of the previous five years. A drop of about one-third in cereal production is estimated in the most affected central provinces of the country. • It is expected that there will be a cereal import requirement of about 843 000 tonnes for marketing year 2006/07 (April/March), including about 217 000 tonnes of maize. Accounting for commercial imports estimated at 776 000 tonnes, there remains a net cereal deficit of about 67 000 tonnes. • The supply of cassava in the north of the country is plentiful. Cassava flour is generally available in most local markets; however, it is not widely traded throughout the country. • Livestock condition is good; pasture and access to water were problems in the areas where dry spells were experienced (in the south and centre), but became satisfactory following heavy rains in March and April.

  • 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.

  • ANGOLA Prices and Market Situation Report
    ANGOLA Prices and Market Situation Report A USAID Funded Activity March, 2005 Decline in maize prices reflects optimistic harvest prospects and a good marketing year ahead in Huambo The overall food supply situation in the areas covered by this survey (Huambo and Luanda) continues to improve, particularly in Huambo province, despite below normal maize and bean production in the 2004/05 agricultural season. In Huambo, FEWS NET monitoring indicates that regional trade, particularly with Huíla, Kuana Sul, and Bié, continues to play a fundamental role in ensuring adequate food supply in major demand centers. Prices have been fairly stable for a province recovering from a bad year. Between January and March 2005, Huambo has seen an encouraging resurgence of small-scale farmers bringing and selling their produce in the markets, raising the hope of a good marketing year ahead and affordable prices for food insecure consumers. On a negative note, the northern province of Uíge has been facing an outbreak of Marburg hemorrhagic fever since October 2004, with an escalating death toll only in the last four weeks. Prices and trade timeline Failure to contain the epidemic will Apr Apr - Jun have serious implications to food trade Bad time for traders in Uíge Declining price trends Mar Jun and threatens local livelihoods.
