  • The Luanda to Ambaca Railway As a Pioneer Case of the Transfer of Technical Engineering Knowledge Overseas to Africa
    The Luanda to Ambaca Railway as a pioneer case of the transfer of technical engineering knowledge overseas to Africa. Bruno J. Navarro Interuniversity Center of Science History and Technology On 31 October 1886, three years after construction work had started on the Tua Line, the official launch ceremony was held for the Luanda-Ambaca railway, the first inland railway that the Portuguese state planned in its vast overseas space. It was the culmination of a long process of reorganization of the Portuguese colonial empire, marked out between the independence of Brazil and the defining of an agenda for the promotion of the African provinces, due to the urgent necessity to promote effective occupation of those territories, just as they had been imposed, by the major European powers at the 1885 Berlin Conference. To politicians and especially the professional class of Portuguese engineers, the railway emerged as a prodigious symbol of modernity and development, an indispensible tool for strategic territorial ownership (of a region where lines of communication were practically inexistent). It was as well directed to its population, a systematic implementation of the Portuguese state’s administrative machinery, economic use of natural resources – in domestic and foreign trade – , agricultural and industrial revitalization, and above all, the affirmation of Portugal (a small country in peripheral Europe, but in the political center in extensive colonial rule) in the community of nations that disputed influence and power in Africa. The first stretch, with a distance of 45 km linking Luanda to Funda, was open to exploitation on 1 November 1888. The connection to Ambaca appeared to be, in the spirit of its ambitious mentors, the first stage (353 km) of a more extensive project, whose ultimate goal would be the link to the opposite shore of the continent in Mozambique, in the Zambezi region.

  • 2018 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor: Angola
    Angola MODERATE ADVANCEMENT In 2018, Angola made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The government approved the Penal Code, which prohibits the use of children for the production of pornography. It also approved a National Action Plan to Combat Child Labor, which aims to eliminate child labor by strengthening the rights of children, including increasing their access to education, and mapping child labor found throughout the country to better inform policies and programs. In addition, the government deployed the Southern African Development Community Trafficking in Persons regional database, which collects national data to facilitate the development and implementation of policies and programs to combat human trafficking. However, children in Angola engage in forced labor in agriculture. Children also perform dangerous tasks in construction. The gap between the compulsory education age and minimum age for work leaves children ages 12 and 13 vulnerable to the worst forms of child labor. There are not enough labor inspectors to provide sufficient coverage of the workforce, and social programs do not target all sectors in which children work. I. PREVALENCE AND SECTORAL DISTRIBUTION OF CHILD LABOR Children in Angola engage in forced labor in agriculture. (1,2) Children also perform dangerous tasks in construction. (3) The 2015–2016 Survey on Multiple Health Indicators found that 23 percent of children ages 5 to 17 engage in child labor. The percentage of children engaged in child labor is higher in rural areas compared to urban areas; Cuanza Sul and Cuando Cubango provinces have the highest percentage of child laborers.

  • Umkhonto Wesizwe's Contribution to The
    JOERNAAL/JOURNAL KWHELA UMKHONTO WESIZWE’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEFENCE OF THE AFRICAN REVOLUTION IN ANGOLAJ GC Kwhela** 1. INTRODUCTION Prior to independence, on 11 November, 1975, the prospective Angolan govern- ment under the leadership of the MPLA (Movimento Popular de Libertaçaõ de Angola) was under continuous attack from the FNLA (Frente Nacional de Libertaçaõ de Angola) and UNITA (Uniaõ Nacional para a Independencia Total de Angola). The FNLA was attacking from the then Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) with the support of the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and was repelled at Quifangondo, close to the capital, Luanda. UNITA was advancing from the south in conjunction with the South African Defence Force (SADF) with the aim of capturing the capital before Independence Day. The joint UNITA-SADF forces, which held the town of N’Gunza (which was then called Novo Redondo), were repelled at the Queve River, Cuanza Sul Province by the People’s Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FAPLA). FAPLA forces were later on reinforced by Cuban forces that provided assistance in resisting the advancement of the joint UNITA-SADF forces to Luanda and ultimately the SADF withdrew from Angola on 27 March 1976. Although the conflict continued throughout the 1970s and the early 1980s in the Cunene, Cuando Cubango and Moxico provinces of Angola, the joint UNITA- SADF forces began another offensive in 1983 with the rejuvenated support of the United States under the Reagan administration. This was the first instance in which uMkhonto weSizwe (MK), the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa, became a prominent actor in the defence of the African revolution in Angola, in what was then called the "eastern front" within the Malanje province.

  • 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.
