Luanda –At least 1,849 flats have been allocated by the National Youth Council (CNJ) all over the country, as part of the 20 percent houses expected to be delivered for young people.
The information is part of a report issued by the CNJ presented Friday in Luanda, at a meeting to assess the activities carried out by the organisation in 2022, which states that the handover included over five flats in Bengo, six in Namibe, 80 in Huambo, 250 in Huila, 300 in Benguela and 1,120 in Luanda.
In 2022 the youth organisation, in partnership with public and private institutions, provided 15,000 jobs for young people, mostly in the agri-business sector.
The CNJ has monitored 42,500 scholarship holders since 2017, with 10,000 scholarships awarded in the 2022/2023 academic year, in the zero cost and co-funded modalities.
The report adds that the organisation received around 1.8 billion kwanzas under the National Programme to Support National Production (PROJAPRON) and the Fund to Support Agricultural Development (FADA).
Of this amount, the youth organisation allocated in 2022, 100 credits worth 350 million Kwanzas, with great emphasis on Namibe Province, which has the most beneficiaries.
Speaking to the press, the president of CNJ, Isaías Kalunga, said the organisation will continue to work towards meeting the needs of young people.
Along with the work developed by the CJN with several youth organisations in facilitating the acquisition of housing, Isaías Kalunga, stressed that for 2023, more attention is expected to be given to young journalists and of the defence and security bodies, at the level of public and private housing.
Isaías Kalunga underlined that in the inventory to be presented to the Executive, it is estimated to increase the number of houses attributed in the first phase, due to the high number of youths in need.
