Resumen
Descripción
The first quarter of 2025 marks FAO’s continued support for Angola’s efforts to transform its agrifood systems and build resilience across rural communities. Key achievements include the operationalisation of the Chibia Dam and the training of thousands of farmers, many of them women, in climate-smart agriculture under the EU-funded FRESAN Programme. Public consultations, jointly led with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, have also laid the groundwork for Angola’s future agrifood systems strategy, ensuring that the voices of farmers, youth, and rural communities help shape inclusive and sustainable policy directions. At the national level, collaboration with the Ministry of Planning, ahead of the 4th Hand-in-Hand Investment Forum, is helping to position agriculture as a key driver of economic growth, with a focus on high-potential value chains. On the ground, success stories from communities like Vilulu and Fimo in Cunene showcase how integrated water management is improving livelihoods in drought-affected areas. The signing of the 2024–2028 Country Programming Framework provides a unified roadmap aligning FAO and Government priorities, reinforcing a shared vision for sustainable and resilient agrifood systems in Angola.
