Pedro Panzo explained that the project - which has 80 per cent of it already done - aims to contribute to the social and economic development of the country and improve the subsistence of families in the region. He said so far the project has employed forty workers, both nationals and expatriates, but it is predicted to take more manpower in its next stage. Read the original article on ANGOP.

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.

COMO PODEM AS COMUNIDADES COSTEIRAS ENVOLVER-SE E BENEFICIAR DO PROGRAMA BCLME : UMA ANÁLISE I. RELATÓRIO DA VISITA A ANGOLA Fevereiro 2004 Como Podem as Comunidades Costeiras Envolver-se e Beneficiar do Programa BCLME: Uma Análise I. Relatório da Visita a Angola i O Programa do Grande Ecossistema Marinho da Corrente de Benguela (BCLME) visa a gestão deste ecossistema único de afloramento costeiro que acompanha as costas de Angola, Namíbia e África do Sul. Financiado pelo portfólio de Águas Internacionais do Fundo para o Ambiente Mundial (GEF), o Programa é implementado pelo Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento (PNUD), sendo o Gabinete das Nações Unidas para os Serviços de Apoio aos Projectos (UNOPS) a agência executora. Os três países membros asseguram financiamento adicional através de contribuições em espécie. Ao longo dos 4 000 km de costa vivem comunidades que dependem, a diferentes níveis, dos recursos naturais deste ecossistema, desempenhando um papel importante na gestão e saúde dos recursos costeiros. Ainda que o envolvimento das comunidades costeiras não seja o foco principal do Programa, é cada vez mais aceite que as actividades ao nível comunitário podem contribuir significativamente para o sucesso global do Programa, ao mesmo tempo que criam oportunidades para desenvolvimento comunitário. Foi neste contexto que a EcoAfrica Environmental Consultants realizou um estudo de ‘primeira paroximação’ para analisar como as comunidades costeiras podem contribuir para a gestão do BCLME e posicionar-se de modo a obter o máximo proveito dos recursos costeiros, bem como para recomendar qual o papel que o Programa BCLME pode desempenhar para atingir este objectivo.

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.

They also agreed to extend the production licence for the BP-operated Greater Plutonio project on Block 18 to 2032, subject to government approval, and for Sonangol to take an 8% equity interest in the block. Platina would be BP’s first new operated development in Angola since the PSVM project in Block 31 began production in 2013.

Carlos Saturnino said: “These agreements are a positive sign of the work being done by Sonangol and the Angolan government to generate more investment in our oil industry and take us a big step closer toward increasing production from Block 18. BP has been a key partner for Sonangol and Angola for many years, having contributed to the development of the oil and gas industry through its operated and partner-operated blocks, and we look forward to continuing to work together in the years to come.” Bob Dudley said: “The signing of these agreements represents an important milestone in our relationship with Sonangol.

Intimate Encounters with the State in Post-War Luanda, Angola
Intimate Encounters with the State in Post-War Luanda, Angola Chloé Buire Les Afriques dans le Monde, CNRS, Pessac, France Abstract: Since the end of the war in 2002, Luanda has become an iconic site of urban transformation in the context of a particularly entrenched oligarchic regime. In practice however, urban dwellers are often confronted with a ‘deregulated system’ that fails to advance a coherent developmental agenda. The paper narrates the trajectory of a family forcibly removed from the old city to the periphery. It shows how city- dwellers experience the control of the party-state through a series of encounters with authority across the city. Questioning the intentionality of a state that appears at the same time omnipotent and elusive, openly violent and subtly hegemonic, the paper reveals the fine mechanisms through which consent is fabricated in the intimacy of the family. In 2001, guerrilla leader Jonas Savimbi is hiding in the hinterlands of Angola; but on the Atlantic coast, the shadows of the civil war are dissipating and the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the ruling party of Angola since 1975, announces ambitious reconstruction works in the capital city Luanda. In an old bairro (neighbourhood) near the city centre, Avo Monteiro, once a cook at one of the best hotels in town, gets the notice that will change the life of his whole family: his house is to be demolished to give way to a new road. A few months later, Savimbi is killed; the peace treaty that unfolds allows the MPLA to extend its control to the entire country and consolidate its grasp on all levels of government.
