PROJECT OUTLINE FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE FIRST STAGE OF THE PROGRAM. 6. PRESENT STATE OF FOOD INDUSTRY IN ANGOLA. - 1 - 1. INTRODUCTION The Angolan Food Industry was created and developed under the conditions of a competitive market shared by various enterprises. There exists a great variety of food and oeverage factories constructed mainly after 1955 and therefore with rela tively modern technology. There is good integration between the various sections and subsections of the food industry, such as: Food and packaging production units, food industry by- products processing units, adequate supply of electricity, water, fuel and means of transportation. The Angolan Food Industries display general ly a rational conception, an adequate lay-out and production methods formula ted in accordance with a proper employment of raw materials and by-products. With the war of liberation and independence of the country the industrial system was largely disrupted. The owners of the enterprises have left the country together with the major part of the qualified personnel. Furthermore, a great part of productive and auxiliary equipment was damaged and in certain cases, when the managers, the technical staff of medium level and qualified operators left the country they carried wich them all the administrative and technical experience and leadership. Products formulation and technology used during the colonial period, are not available as a rule in a written form, and in - 2 - nd observation capacity o f the ,ny cas.» only th. experience a B 7 , • rha emulation and production r.».ining workers are followed in the .or*u o£ foodstuffs and beverages. , hi, nationalized the majority The Angolan Government has A i, trving to reorganize them in such industrial plants and is trying of ri,, ore-war production level. mann «r *s to attain the pre war v • fhi. desired production level in * In order to attain this desirea P ; urgent needA forfnr tnethe elaboration r.lativaly short time, therePh#rl iss urg .fhli for the condition, of the country. of an activity program suitable for irMil. a country situated in th. same geographical L ,,,: nc similar £ood cuf£s d .bit, ..«........ —« — •""" ' " * ible time. food sector in a shortest poss he Government of the These reasons have prompted t of „f Brazil provided by UNID0 and with the technical cooperation of ft€ Research and Technology of Campiñas, th.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT Th« objectives of the Project are the following: 1. Formation of a teaa of qualified professionals who during th« period of one month would, according to a set program, visit factories representative of each sub-section of the Food Industry, in order to pin-point the problems existing in that section. 2. These visits would make possible the elaboration of a report describing the existing plants, their location, equipments, technology employed, present situation regarding supply of raw materials, quality control, civil construction and other factors that determine the present state of the Food Industry in Angola. 3. Based on the data collected during the visits of the experts to various industries representative of each sub-section, a program will be worked out, which would make possible the rehabilitation, modernization and expansion of the Food and Beverage Industry in Angola. m - 4 - 3. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Before the declaration of the Independence, there existed in Angola a Portuguese colony of approximately 500.000 persons, whose great part accounted for the qualified personnel of the country. The departure of this qualified labour force left the industry without professional human resources, which in turn caused an abrupt fall of production quantitatively and qualitatively despite all the efforts and dedication of the remaining workers. There was in addition a considerable decrease of agrjL cultural production accompanied by scarcity of raw materials. This sudden change created serious problems in the food indus- try affecting deeply the socio-economic life of the country. The results arising from this situation can be summerized as follows: 1. Lack of qualified labour force mainly of medium level, com prising foremen of production lines, and staff responsible for the supervision of production, equipment maintenance, quality control, administration and other activies essential for the proper funcioning of the industry. 2. Interruption of commercial relations with the exterior and deficient programming of raw material stocks. 3. Interruption of production and supply of local, agricultu - 5 - ral raw materials. 4. Lack of spart parts for existing equipments and difficulties in obtaining new ones. 5. Rupture of diplomatic relatione with countries which were traditional suppliers of equipment and industrial "know how " in question. 6. Migration of great populación masses from rural zones into urban centres. 7. Devastation of agricultural zones and production centres re suiting from foreign invasions and internal conflicts, com bined with illicit transfer of material and live stock re sources, including dairy cattle. 8. Interruption of communication and transport lines. To bring the food industry to prewar levels and to achieve an accelerated progress it is necessary to seek aolu tions, and this is the aim of the present project. - 6 - 4. PROPOSALS FOR A TECHNICAL COOPERATION PROGRAM BETWEEN BRAZIL AND ANGOLA Bated on the experience gained during the visits to the industrias rtprasanting various sub-.tctors. the following collaboration scneme is suggested: 1. In view of the present state of food industries characterix.d by: lack of human resources such as personnel of universi, ty and medium level, qualified labour, the state of production lines in need of spare parts and maintenance; deficient education system for training specialised man power for the food industry; deficient system of purchasing raw materials of local and foreign origin; there has been elaborated a plan of technical coopera tion between Brazil, represented by Fundaçïo Tropical de Pes. quisa, e Tecnologia and the Government of People's Republic of Angola under the general coordenation of UNIDO. This plan has following objectives: a) Make possible L recuperation of the Angolan Food Industry in the shortest time possible. - 7 - b) Make available to the Angolan population an alimentation of better quality and quantity. c) Make Che bete use of Che resources existing in the country. d) Utilize the human and material resources existing in Brazil to achieve the aims in question. c) Training of the Angolan personnel in Brazil. Bearing in mind the impossibility of attending Co Che needs of all industrial unies in Angola, Che following proposal is presented: One unie of each sub-sector to be selected, to serve as example and at the same time as training centre for the workers of this sub-sector, at the production and administrati ve level, as well

  • Annual Report 2000
    ANGOLA May, 2001 This Annual Report is intended for reporting on the Federation's Annual Appeals only. Appeal No. 01.16/2000 Appeal Target: CHF 1,877,000 The Context Since gaining its independence from Portugal in 1975, Angola has endured almost constant conflict. The 1994 Lusaka peace accord and the formation of the United Government of National Reconciliation in April 1997 gave rise to hopes of sustainable development and peace in the country. However, clashes between the government and UNITA continued and in May 1998 both sides prepared for war. Fighting increased dramatically from December 1998, once again plunging the country into a full scale civil war and dramatically increasing the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs). Following a largely successful government campaign which began in October 1999 to flush out UNITA from its traditional strongholds in the central highlands, military activity shifted and extended to the borders with neighbouring countries - Namibia, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia. This intense fighting created a new wave of IDPs resulting in large numbers of Angolans crossing the borders, and continued insecurity with reported ambushes, incidents of attacks on villages and an increase in mine incidents resulting in many casualties throughout the country. The agriculture sector particularly suffered with the ongoing hostilities as an estimated seven million land mines around the country render farmland inaccessible and force increasing numbers to abandon their property. Government support to health and education remains low, with funds diverted to defence. Much of the country's infrastructure such as roads, bridges and railways already destroyed by the conflict, has further eroded, and most roads are now closed due to the ongoing insecurity.

  • 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.

  • VI. O Acto Eleitoral
    VI. O acto eleitoral No dia 5 de Setembro de 2008, em todas as Províncias do país, os angolanos levantaram-se cedo para exercerem o seu direito de voto. Infelizmente, cedo se descobriu que não seriam essas as eleições que se esperava viessem a ser exemplares para o Continente Africano e para o Mundo. Eis aqui um resumo das ocorrências fraudulentas que, em 5 de Setembro de 2008, caracterizaram o dia mais esperado do processo político, o dia D: 1. Novo mapeamento das Assembleias de Voto 1.1 O mapeamento inicialmente distribuído aos Partidos Políticos, assim como os locais de funcionamento das Assembleias de Voto e os cadernos de registo eleitoral, não foram publicitados com a devida antecedência, para permitir uma eleição ordeira e organizada. 1.2 Para agravar a situação, no dia da votação, o mapeamento dos locais de funcionamento das Assembleias de Voto produzido pela CNE não foi o utilizado. O mapeamento utilizado foi outro, produzido por uma instituição de tal modo estranha à CNE e que os próprios órgãos locais da CNE desconheciam. Em resultado, i. Milhares de eleitores ficaram sem votar; ii. Aldeias e outras comunidades tiveram de ser arregimentadas em transportes arranjados pelo Governo, para irem votar em condições de voto condicionado; iii. Não houve mecanismos fiáveis de controlo da observância dos princípios da universalidade e da unicidade do voto. 1.3 O Nº. 2 do Art.º 105 da Lei Eleitoral é bastante claro: “a constituição das Mesas fora dos respectivos locais implica a nulidade das eleições na Mesa em causa e das operações eleitorais praticadas nessas circunstâncias, salvo motivo de força maior, devidamente justificado e apreciado pelas instâncias judiciais competentes ou por acordo escrito entre a entidade municipal da Comissão Nacional Eleitoral e os delegados dos partidos políticos e coligações de partidos ou dos candidatos concorrentes.” 1.4 Em todos os casos que a seguir se descreve, foram instaladas Assembleias de Voto anteriormente não previstas.

  • 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.
