Imprensa Internacional Sobre Angola Maio - Agosto 2001 Imprensa internacional sobre Angola Maio - Agosto 2001 Nicholas Shaxson Here are some of the things we wereplanning to say: This last mission effectively had a dualrole – it was a regular article IV mission, also with a mandate to assess theSMP. Is this the correct way to describe it? YES The SMP technically finished at the end of June, and it has indeed expired, but the government has asked the IMF to wait until October before making its conclusions. As a country with a negative record on transparency and the adoption of economic reforms, the staff-monitored program was a way to establish a better track record on these areas and pave the way for discussions on a program supported with a loan from the Fund. It now appears that such track record is yet to be established, and that unless there is concrete progress on the inflation front and stronger results on program implementation and on transparency measures during the next few months, discussions on a PRGF program will look increasingly remote. The “inception reportâ € for the diagnostic study and the first quarterly report were delivered in May, I understand. When do you expect the second quarterly report? The second quarterly report is expected to be produced this month , but it will take a few more months until the Ministry of Finance will be able to use the model. It is important to note here that, as with any sophisticated tool, the willingness and ability of the user (i.e. devote resources and take it seriously) to take advantage of the tool will be crucial. The audit of the BNA’s accounts for 1999 –should have been delivered by April but in fact it is now only expected to be delivered to you this month. Correct. The BNA audit for 2000 – this may start by the end of the year ( with a possible audit for 2001 beginning some time in the firsthalf of next year. I would take out this last part, it is a bit speculative at this point) In addition to the BNA audit and the oil diagnostic,there is also a project at the central bank, supported by UNCTAD, to reconcile, unify , and make publicly available data for all of Angola’s public andpublicly guaranteed debt, including the oil-collateralised debt. I am told by others that the $269m debt limit described in the memorandum in February has now been raised, and variousother requirements (like inflation targets) have been relaxed. Is this true?Can you say what changes have been made to the targets? For the past (i.e. March and June 2001, there have been no changes on the limits on the external debt, or any other quantitative benchmarks, including inflation. When evaluating the se quantitative benchmarks, the adjustors (see below ) need to be taken into account and then one can see the results. Foreign exchange reserves targets were met,though this was largely achieved through exceeding borrowing limits. However,the IMF has not yet formally concluded that borrowing limits were breachedunder the SMP . THe borrowing limits appear to have been breached, and foreign reserve targets may also have been missed because of an adjustor described in the technical memorandum of understanding (see MEFP at our website) whereby the reserves are adjusted for various deviations, including excesses in the foreign borrowing limits (otherwise many of the targets could be met by additional borrowing). Voice of America said extra-budgetaryoperations reached 20% of GDP, though it did not say which period it wasreferring to. Is this correct? It seems quite high. If correct, which periodwould they be referring to? There is uncertaintly about the size and nature of these expenditures, but they appear to be very large (reaching at times up to 20 percent of GDP) not just recently but ongoing during the 1990s. The Ebonet story below described “um buracode 250 milhões de dólares de pagamentos feitos pelo BNA à margem do tesouronacionalâ € – is this correct? I take it this refers to payment orders withoutproper authorisation from the treasury. Which period does it refer to? We can distinguish between two types of extra- budgetart outlays, one type is recently identified quasi-fiscal expenditures carried out by the central bank; those are being quantified and are expected to be passed to the treasury. The other type are unexplained expenditures carried without the proper authorization from the treasury ( but not clear what they are or who carried them out) . This type of expenditures appear to be large. Neither of these operations had been approved or carried out with formal approval of the treasury. Some performance contracts have been signed with public enterprises, though there has otherwise been little progress on privatisation. There is a 5-year privatization plan that has been approved by the council of ministers , but it has not been yet fully agreed with the Fund and the World Bank as specified in the MEFP. ( the government intends to use performance contracts to improve control and management in a number of public companies ). Some special customs exemptions for groupssuch as the armed forces have been removed. Has this happened according to therequirements under the IMF? It is not clear that all exemptions (except those contemplated on international accords) have been removed as specified in the gov. program and whether the one on the armed forces is yet in effect. The Min Fin should provide clarification as to what they plan to do with the exemptions Marketable medium-term central bank bonds are being used as part of an effort to move towards indirect methods of controlover the money supply. Currently, monetary control is being achieved throughdirect mechanisms such as ceilings on the domestic assets of the bankingsystem. The macro-economic climate is still far from stable enough for aproperly functioning market in these instruments to develop, however, and onlyparastatal operators have reportedly been involved in buying them. The amountsbeing traded are still small. The treasury seems to be planning for the issuance of treasury bills to cancel part of the stock of of domestic debt arrears. Another part will be settled in cash but the government wants to negotiate this on a one to one basis with the creditors and pay depending on whether they are willing to commit investments in the "productive sectors" Any comments on the above would be welcome.Also, here is the other story that I found today. In addition, I have adocument on a Brazilian loan this year which you may or may not have seen. Ifyou would like a copy, please send me the correct address and I will post it. Best wishes, Nicholas Shaxson As with the above, that is you treat this in deep background, prospects remain uncertain. There has been some progress in a number of areas during the last year, but program implementation has been somewhat defficient even on areas where good judgement and politital will would have sufficed. Key issues like good record-keeping, transparency, and accountability in the use of public finances are crucial. The country's problems are inmense and varied, and can only be addressed with a decisive set of policies. It remains to be seen if the political leaders want to take this route or continue with the practices of the past and just flirt with market reforms OPOSIÇÃO DIZ QUE COMUNIDADE INTERNACIONAL ESTA A PRECIPITAR-SE AO ENVIAR MISSÕES A ANGOLA PARA AVALIAÇÃO DE CONDIÇÕES PARA A REALIZAÇÃO DE ELEIÇÕES 07/08/2001 As Nacoes Unidas vao enviar no proximo mes uma missao a Angola para analisar questoes relacionadas com o processo eleitoral. Segundo o representante especial do secretario-geral das Nacoes Unidas, Mussagy Jeichande, que falava no final de um encontro com uma delegacao do consorcio americano para o fortalecimento de processos politicos, a missao vai tambem abordar com as autoridades angolanas os contornos do Fundo para a Paz e a Reconcliacao Nacional. Mussagy Jeichande disse que “ neste momento nao existem ainda ideias feitas sobre as eleicoes” em Angola, salientando que a missao da ONU que em Setembro se deslocara a Angola “fara uma primeira aproximacao de modo que aquele organismo internacional possa pronunciar-se com maior autoridade sobre o pleito eleitoral”. Determinados sectores politicos nao colhem com simpatia esta movimentacao da comunidade internacional sobre questoes relacionadas com eventuais eleicoes. O dirigente da Frente para a Democracia, Filomeno Viera Lopes, considera que existe uma certa precipitacao por parte da comunidade internacional em relacao a esta questao e com propositos obscuros, assim como uma subestimacao aos partidos politicos da oposicao. Filomeno Viera Lopes Defende a necessidade do estabelecimento da paz por via do dialogo antes das eleicoes, de modo que haja a livre circulacao de pessoas e bens e as populaces possam votar em seguranca. A delegacao do consorcio americano para o fortalecimento de processos politicos manteve ja encontros com varios dirigentes do governo e representantes de partidos politicos da oposicao no quadro da avaliacao das condicoes para as proximas eleicoes. DP 010807 LUANDA NEGA “BURACOS” NA INDÚSTRIA DIAMANTÍFERA Um documento do Governo angolano a que a Voz da América teve acesso explica porque as autoridades de Luanda rejeitam sugestões segundo as quais o seu país continua a ser uma das fontes dos chamados “diamantes de conflicto”. O documento datado de Outubro do ano passado, diz que isso já não ocorre porque a UNITA entrou em colapso. Nele lê-se que as forças armadas angolanas recuperaram o controlo de todo o país. Analistas descrevem esta afirmação como absurda porque até mesmo a imprensa controlada pelo Estado continua a noticiar a acção dos rebeldes.

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.

  • P319-Profile of Internal Displacement
    SUBSISTENCE NEEDS (HEALTH NUTRITION AND SHELTER) General Basic needs of the majority of IDP communities and resident populations are not being met (February 2002) "Agencies estimate that only 25 percent of the basic needs of vulnerable populations, including both resident and displaced communities, are currently being met. Acute malnutrition exists in at least eight locations, including Caconda, Cruzeiro, Cuemba, Cusse, Lau, Luena, Mussende and Sambo Samboto, and is probably present in a further three to four. According to the Executive Committee of the Inter-Ministerial Commission, the Angolan Armed Forces and OCHA, critical needs are suspected in 60 locations in 11 provinces. Of these, 53 cannot be reached by international agencies." (UN OCHA 8 February 2002) Populations on the move in interior regions are in "appalling" condition (November 2001) · Tens of thousands of newly displaced persons are thought to be on the brink of starvation · Up to 500,000 people living in areas inaccessible to international agencies are estimated to be in need - with more than 200,000 believed to be in acute distress "Possibly the most vulnerable populations in Angola are the increasingly large numbers of families who are on the move in interior regions. Tens of thousands of newly displaced persons are estimated to be foraging for food in the bush. Credible reports indicate that the condition of these populations is appalling and that many are probably on the brink of starvation. Widows, separated children and persons with physical disabilities are highly vulnerable throughout the country, but face serious dangers during displacement. Many are unable to reach safe havens and remain abandoned in insecure areas, at constant risk of attack and abduction.
