Lisbon – Relationship between Angola and Portugal is reflected in multidimensional cooperation, in political-diplomatic and socioeconomic domains, a consultation amplified in the different multilateral frameworks.
The areas of health, education, justice, people's mobility, security and defense are the preferred areas of this contact, according to the Portuguese Ambassador to Angola, Francisco Alegre Duarte.
With Camões, Institute of Cooperation and Language, bilateral cooperation has been framed, in recent years, by strategic programs whose last cycle was signed last year in Luanda.
The Portuguese diplomat says that this is work that has been continuously deepened, always in conjunction with several partners, such as sectoral ministries, the European Union (EU) and civil society.
On a social level, one of the relevant programs, the result of this partnership, is Strengthening Resilience and Food and Nutritional Security in Angola (FRESAN), financed by the EU, with €65 million, and co-managed with the Camões Institute.
This joint initiative aims to reduce hunger, poverty and vulnerability in communities affected by drought and climate change in the south of the country, in the provinces of Cunene, Huíla and Namibe.
