INTRODUCTION The present document is the Draft Final Report, as requested in the Terms of Reference (TOR) of the final Evaluation Mission (EM) of the PAANE (Non-State Actors Support Programme) in Angola, after the field phase and debriefing. The mission, composed of the consultants Marion Baumgart Dos Santos and Graziano Tonellotto (TL), began its field phase in Angola (22 days) with a briefing meeting with the EUD – EU Delegation in Angola (Ms Filipa Corte-Real) on May 23, and with Mr. José Fortes, Assistant Director of the NAO, on May 24 2011. From that date, the EUD supported the mission by supplying a list of contacts of the key actors and providing the mission with a room in which it could consult documents and store additional forms. On May 24th, it was also possible to begin organising the Evaluation Work Plan by arranging dates/times for interviews/consultations and visits in Luanda and the provinces of Huila and Malanje. The mission began its meetings and interviews in Luanda on May 25 2011 (see list of people and chronogram of visits and interviews in Appendix 4). In accordance with the TOR, an Aide Memoire was presented on 31 May 2011, in which the evaluators indicated the methodology adopted by the mission and the initial results/preliminary conclusions. The debriefing was held on 10 June 2011 at the NAO head office. Ms Filipa Corte-Real of the EUD and Mr. Fortes, Assistant Director of the NAO (National Authorising Office) took part in the meeting at which a finalised Aide Memoire was presented with the provisional results, in compliance with the TOR. For further information on the objectives and expected results of the evaluation, see the TOR (Appendix 2). We are grateful to all those who contributed in one way or another to this evaluation, and who were willing to share their experiences, impressions and criticisms with us. We would particularly like to thank Ms Filipa Corte-Real of the European Commission, Mr. José António Fortes, of the Technical and Administrative Unit for ACP/EE Cooperation and Ketty Tirzi, ex-coordinator of the former PAANE PMU. There was excellent long-distance collaboration (via telephone and e-mail) with the latter as well as during the mission’s last day-and-a-half in Luanda. We would also like to thank Mr. Guilherme Santos, chairman of the ADRA for his wonderful collaboration with our work and our stay in Lubango and Huila. 2. WORK ORGANISATION METHOD The Mission is divided into three parts: Initial phase: preparation and analysis of documents; perfecting and developing the outlined chronogram for the mission in Angola approved by the EUD when the Mission was hired, taking into consideration the possible logistical constraints in Luanda and the anticipated visits to 2 provinces; first long-distance contacts (e-mails) for the aspects of logistical organisation and mobilisation of the mission in Luanda and the 2 provinces to be visited; organisation of the entry visas for Angola (in Italy and South Africa); preliminary long-distance gathering of opinions and information by the ex-Head of the Programme’s PMU (with a meeting also held in Rome); constant coordination with the consulting companies of the IBF consortium (BAa Consultors and Euroconsultant) and the Delegation of the European Commission in Angola; detailed organisation of the

    DigitalResources Electronic Survey Report 2018-015 Sociolinguistic Survey of !Xun in Huíla Province Linda Jordan and Isata Manuel Sociolinguistic Survey of !Xun in Huíla Province Linda Jordan and Isata Manuel SIL International® 2018 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2018-015, December 2018 © 2018 SIL International® All rights reserved Data and materials collected by researchers in an era before documentation of permission was standardized may be included in this publication. SIL makes diligent efforts to identify and acknowledge sources and to obtain appropriate permissions wherever possible, acting in good faith and on the best information available at the time of publication Abstract This survey was conducted in the west and central parts of Huíla Province in south-western Angola, specifically in the communities of Kakwa, Mupembati, Derruba, Mapunda, Mume and Hupa. The main focus of this study was the local varieties of !Xun ([vaj] and [knw]), part of a northern Ju macrolanguage that is spoken by San communities in the provinces of Huíla, Kuando Kubango and Cunene. The main purpose of this research was to ascertain the number and location of distinct linguistic variants spoken by the San population in Huíla Province in order to inform potential language development efforts. Language mapping exercises were facilitated in five communities to identify neighbouring speech varieties and discover the relationship between them. The results of this study point to the existence of two major variants of !Xun in Huíla Province. In spite of the linguistic differences, the San in this province have a highly cohesive group identity. The use of !Xun is restricted to the domain of the family and !Xun-speaking neighbours.

Despite the efforts recently made to doc- ument its biodiversity, there is a need for standardized sampling methods to document and compare the variety of ecosystems and plants occurring in the country. With this database report we aim to document the abundance and di- versity of woody species in the woodlands of Huíla province. The database hosts the results of a standardised plot-based vegetation survey, consisting of 448 vegetation plots distributed throughout the 14 municipalities and Bicuar National Park.
