It is within this context that FAO Angola, has been working closely with the Angolan government and various partners in taking decisive steps to develop a resilient agrifood system that ensures sustainable livelihoods and a better future for all. The transformation of Angola’s agrifood systems requires collective effort, involving the government, international partners, local communities, and civil society. Only through collaboration can the shared vision of a resilient and sustainable future be achieved. FAO remains committed to this vision, and with the continued support of our partners, we are confident that Angola can achieve its goal of strong, sustainable agrifood systems that provide for its people today and for generations to come. -

No results found.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. -

In Huíla Province, the Banda Chibia Dam now provides reliable water to over 5 000 people and irrigates 750 hectares, boosting year-round production and livelihoods. In Namibe and Huambo, revitalised Agroecological Centres and Farmer Field Schools are promoting organic fertilisers, crop diversification, and soil- and water-conservation practices. At the policy level, Angola validated its National Strategy for the Transformation of Agrifood Systems (ENRSAG 2026–2035) and advanced a new GEF-funded climate-resilience project, reinforcing alignment with the National Development Plan (2023–2027) and FAO’s Country Programming Framework (2024–2028). These milestones reflect the government’s commitment to sustainable, inclusive growth and climate adaptation. FAO also strengthened partnerships through the EU-funded FRESAN programme, training initiatives with the Institute of Veterinary Services, and the ESCOMAR approach for coastal communities. Together, these actions demonstrate FAO Angola’s pursuit of the Four Betters — Better Production, Better Nutrition, a Better Environment, and a Better Life — while fostering resilience and opportunity across rural and coastal areas.
