On the occasion, Téte António reiterated the commitment of the Government of Angola to continue to cooperate closely with the UNDP and the United Nations System, highlighting the importance of this partnership for the success of the reforms underway in the country.
Angola, as a member of the international community and signatory to the United Nations 2030 Agenda, has actively collaborated with UN agencies for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has been one of the main partners of the Angolan Government on development issues.
UNDP supports key projects for the country, such as strengthening institutional capacities, promoting good governance and combating climate change.
On the other hand, the United Nations System in Angola, under the leadership of the resident coordinator, Zahira Virani, has played an essential role in the articulation of joint initiatives between the Government and the various UN agencies.
These initiatives have focused on priority areas such as humanitarian assistance, food security, public health promotion and emergency response.
The United Nations has supported Angola with technical and financial resources to address development challenges and ensure that the benefits of progress are widely shared. SC/DOJ
