Poverty Reduction
The reduction of poverty, particularly of extreme poverty, continues to be a priority for the Angolan State and the development stakeholders in the country. The “Estratégia de Combate à Pobreza - ECP” formally approved on the 11 th February 2004 and revised in September 2005 is still the main strategy document which is orientates the main areas of intervention for government and stakeholders which prioritises the reconstruction of infrastructures, increasing access to education, health, and other basic services, as well as the decentralization of governance structures.
During 2009, the Government of Angola approved the new medium term development plan, from 2009-2013, and this medium term plan should refine and build upon the Estrategia de Combate a Pobreza. UNDP’s 2008-2011 corporate strategy is anchored in the Millennium Declaration and the realisation of the MDGs, with the main objective being accelerated human development, and its four main areas of focus for development are: poverty reduction and support to the MDGs, democratic governance, crisis prevention and recovery and environment, and sustainable development.
The Poverty Cluster strategy is has identified the following focus areas for its programmes:
- Developing national capacity for planning, implementing and monitoring MDGs
- Developing national capacities for macro-economic analysis and formulation of social policies to attaining MDGs
- Strengthening national capacities at all levels and in all social sectors, grounded in human rights-based approach
- Private sector development
- Strategies for sustainable development ( environmental focus on bio-diversity and resource management)
- Institutional Capacity to respond to HIV/AIDS and other diseases
