Systems for Health (SASH) project, has been the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) flagship health program in Angola. Designed to increase the availability and use of quality public health services through Technical Assistance (TA) and training at the national, sub-national and health facility (HF) levels, SASH supported programming in the areas of Family Planning (FP), Malaria, and HIV/AIDS to work towards Health Systems Strengthening (HSS). In addition, SASH strongly encouraged opportunities for integration within HSS; cross- cutting technical areas included: building managerial and technical capacities; improving service delivery, human resources, municipal decentralization, and health management information systems; and ensuring women and young girls receive equitable, ethical, effective, and efficient health interventions, as well as addressing gender-based violence. This program and report were made possible by the generous support of the American people through USAID, under the terms of the Cooperative Agreement AID-654-A-11-00001. The contents of this report are the responsibility of the SASH project and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government (USG). The success of a large-scale project, like that of SASH, depends on the joint efforts of many people. It is impossible to thank everyone individually for his or her generous and invaluable support, however, our team would like to take a moment to express special gratitude to key collaborators whose support was instrumental to the project’s success. The SASH team would especially like to thank the Angolan Ministry of Health (MoH)— specifically the Direção Nacional de Saúde Pública (DNSP) (National Public Health Directorate), the Instituto Nacional de Luta Contra SIDA (INLS) (National Institute for the Fight Against AIDS), the Programa Nacional de Controlo da Malária (NMCP) National Malaria Control Program,and the Programa Nacional de Saúde Reprodutiva/Planificação Familiar (PNSR/PF) (National Reproductive Health/Family Planning Program). In addition, we’d like to thank all Provincial, Municipal, and District Level Health Directors, all HF Directors and Clinical Directors, all Health Service Providers and Technical Focal Points, all Patient Assistant Facilitators (PAFs), and all Community Activists and Leaders, with whom we worked in both the Luanda and Huambo provinces throughout the project’s implementation. Their mission gave shape to our mission as a project. Their collaborative spirit, and their openness to new ideas, spurred our own efforts in support of our shared goal to improve the technical quality of health services, promote the practice of respectful care for Angolan women and their families, and engage in Quality Improvement (QI) and health promotion efforts. In particular, SASH is appreciative of support provided by: Dr. Luis Sambo, Minister of Health and his predecessor, Dr. José Días Van Dúnem; Dr. Constantina Furtado, Vice Minister of Health; Dr. Miguel de Oliveira, National Director of Public Health, and his predecessor,

  • 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.

  • Taxonomy of Tropical West African Bivalves V. Noetiidae
    Bull. Mus. nati. Hist, nat., Paris, 4' sér., 14, 1992, section A, nos 3-4 : 655-691. Taxonomy of Tropical West African Bivalves V. Noetiidae by P. Graham OLIVER and Rudo VON COSEL Abstract. — Five species of Noetiidae are described from tropical West Africa, defined here as between 23° N and 17°S. The Noetiidae are represented by five genera, and four new taxa are introduced : Stenocista n. gen., erected for Area gambiensis Reeve; Sheldonella minutalis n. sp., Striarca lactea scoliosa n. subsp. and Striarca lactea epetrima n. subsp. Striarca lactea shows considerable variation within species. Ecological factors and geographical clines are invoked to explain some of this variation but local genetic isolation could not be excluded. The relationships of the shallow water West African noetiid species are analysed and compared to the faunas of the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Panamic and Indo- Pacific regions. Stenocista is the only genus endemic to West Africa. A general discussion on the relationships of all the shallow water West African Arcoidea is presented. The level of generic endemism is low and there is clear evidence of circumtropical patterns of similarity between species. The greatest affinity is with the Indo-Pacific but this pattern is not consistent between subfamilies. Notably the Anadarinae have greatest similarity to the Panamic faunal province. Résumé. — Description de cinq espèces de Noetiidae d'Afrique occidentale tropicale, ici définie entre 23° N et 17° S. Les Noetiidae sont représentés par cinq genres.

  • MURKY WATERS Why the Cholera Epidemic in Luanda
    MURKY WATERS Why the cholera epidemic in Luanda (Angola) was a disaster waiting to happen MSF May 2006 ! !1 Executive Summary Since February 2006, Luanda is going through its worst ever cholera epidemic, with an average of 500 new cases per day. The outbreak has also rapidly spread to the provinces and to date, 11 of the 18 provinces are reporting cases. The population of Luanda has doubled in the last 10 years, and most of this growth is concentrated in slums where the living conditions are appalling. Despite impressive revenues from oil and diamonds, there has been virtually no investment in basic services since the 1970s and only a privileged minority of the people living in Luanda have access to running water. The rest of the population get most of their water from a huge network of water trucks that collect water from two main points (Kifangondo at Bengo river in Cacuaco and Kikuxi at Kuanza river in Viana) and then distribute it all over town at a considerable profit. Water, the most basic of commodities, is a lucrative and at times complex business in Luanda, with prices that vary depending on demand. Without sufficient quantities of water, and given the lack of proper drainage and rubbish collection, disease is rampant in the vast slums. This disastrous water and sanitation situation makes it virtually impossible to contain the rapid spread of the outbreak. Médecins Sans Frontières is already working in ten cholera treatment structures, and may open more in the coming weeks. Out of the 17,500 patients reported in Luanda (the figure for all of Angola is 34,000), more than14,000 have been treated in MSF centres Despite significant efforts to ensure that patients have access to treatment, very little has been done to prevent hundreds more from becoming infected.

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.
