Luanda - The governments of Angola and the United States of America (USA) launched the Support Programme for Political Parties for a Resilient and Inclusive Democracy (PROPRID) on Tuesday in Luanda.
According to a press release sent to ANGOP by the two countries, the programme, which counts on the partnership of political parties with parliamentary seats, has funding of around 10 million dollars through the Agency for International Development (USAID).
The regional programme, which also includes Angola, will be implemented in partnership with the Democracy Works Foundation (DWF) and aims to promote representative multi-party systems.
