Action by Churches Together A(CT)
Appeal - Angola
Relief for Internally Displaced AFAO-11
Appeal Target: US$ 1,440,818
Geneva,  8 February, 2001


It is tragic and the same time ironic that Angola, one of the richest
countries on the African continent resource-wise, ranks 160th poorest out
of 174 countries according to the UNDP 1999 Human Development Report.  
Over 3.8 million people are internally displaced and the massive level of
displacement has intensified the degree of poverty which in turn has
forced hundreds of thousands of people into total destitution. In spite of
the governments effort to extend control to the new areas they have
recaptured from the UNITA rebels, a large part of the displaced population
is still inaccessible. According to the UN, 60% of the areas hosting
displaced populations are still without humanitarian presence.

Since the resumption of the civil war in 1998 ACT has issued yearly
appeals to respond to some of the urgent needs of the affected people. As
UNITA rebels engage in more guerrilla tactics more people are displaced
increasing the humanitarian needs in an already over stretched situation.
As is the case in most conflicts, women and children are the most
affected. The UN describes the situation of children in Angola as
catastrophic. According to UNICEF's 1999 Progress of Nations' report,
based on child-risk factors, Angola, together with Sierra Leone, is the
worst country in the world for child mortality - one out of every three
children dies before the age of five.

The Lutheran World Federation / Department of World Service (LWF/WS)
proposes to continue working in the Moxico and Lunda Sul provinces which
are among the six provinces with the highest number of IDPs.  Their
proposal for 2001 includes the following activities:

  Distribution of Non Food Items
  Water and Sanitation
  Secondary Transportation of goods to the IDP centres
  Preventive Health Programs (especially for women and children)
  Food security (subsistence crop production)
  Basic rehabilitation of schools and health centres.


This appeal will be revised in the near future to include a proposal by
the Evangelical Reformed Church of Angola (IERA) to continue supporting
health centres for the IDPs and refugees.

Project Completion Date:  1 March 2001 - 28 February 2002.

REQUESTING ACT MEMBER

Lutheran World Federation-Angola Programme (LWF-Angola)



IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER & PARTNER INFORMATION

The LWF involvement in the Republic of Angola dates back to 1985, when it
initiated an emergency and relief program in the Moxico province for
displaced people fleeing civil war. It has focused its program on
providing relief assistance to destitute populations in displacement ,
returning refugees and the vulnerable population inside and around the
city of Luena.  This assistance was primarily given to stabilize the
situation of the displaced and to facilitate their integration into the
community.

Over the past years, LWF has carried the main burden of assisting the
people of the "forgotten" Eastern Region of Angola, which comprises
Moxico, Lunda Sul, and Lunda Norte provinces and has developed good
working relations and credibility with the Provincial Governments,
international agencies, NGOs and local churches operating in the region.
It has also established good relations with various communities it has
been working with in the past, as well as in its current operational
areas. It has professional staff to implement its programs.

LWF has collaborated with donor agencies represented locally in Angola and
has succeeded in getting support for its various projects. During the last
two years, LWF has received support from the ACT network for the
assistance to the displaced population ; from CIDA/CLWR for an emergency
water and sanitation project ; from OCHA for establishing camps for the
displaced;  from ECHO for procurement and air transport of relief items as
well as for the care and maintenance of Internally Displaced People (IDP)
camps ; the EU through NESA and EURONAID has also given support in seeds
and tools and food-for-work projects .

LWF also implemented a Pilot Project on Post Conflict Social
Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project, with funding from World Bank which
was, however, interrupted by the resurgence of civil war in 1998.

All of LWF activities involve the collaboration of local churches in
various areas : preventive health , including HIV/AIDS, human rights
promotion and peace building as well as in children projects.



DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION

After the Government offensive in late 1999, the rebel forces were
considerably weakened. The war changed from a high-tech conventional war
to a guerilla war. The daily pounding by rebel artillery of some of the
major cities ceased and instead insecurity increased in the countryside,
due to ambushes and land mines. The Government forces continued to carry
out major offensives, particularly along the borders, to stop provision of
arms to the rebels from abroad and to extend the Government control over
the territory. Increased rebel activity has, however, been reported by the
end of the 2000 in many parts of the country, causing new waves of
displaced populations. Again thousands have sought refuge in neighboring
Zambia.

The influx of IDPs since the outbreak of war in 1998 has overcrowded and
further increased the deterioration of the environment of the provincial
capitals. It was hoped that the current military offensive would enable
the return of IDPs to their home areas and an improvement of the situation
in the cities. Unfortunately, return to the home areas still does not seem
to be feasible. Instead, resettlement of 190,000 IDPs has taken place on
arable land outside the cities. This has enabled them to produce their own
food, thus reducing their dependency on food handouts ( although an
estimated 60% of the displaced population is malnourished). The key
strategy for resettlement was to avert hunger. The resettlement strategy
was backed up by a major operation to provide the displaced population
with seeds and tools.

The movement for building peace is gaining momentum, not the least through
the formation of the interchurch Commission for Peace (COIEPA), joining
the Protestant and Catholic churches, seeking ways to end the civil war
that has plagued the country for 25 years. In spite of these efforts, the
most likely scenario for 2001 is a continued displacement of the civil
population due to guerilla warfare.

During the last six months, LWF/ACT had to meet the needs of a new wave of
displaced populations in the Moxico and Lunda Sul provinces and
encountered serious difficulties in securing funding for establishing new
camps.

Eventually four new camps were established for 25,000 persons, bringing
the total population settled at the LWF sites to 70,000.  LWF will
continue to support the Government strategy to resettle the displaced
crowding the inner cities to arable land regained on the periphery of the
city in order to ensure food security.

The Government policy is to settle new arrivals a soon as possible at
sites which offer basic conditions. According to new legislation, based on
UN guidelines for the treatment of IDPs, this inter alia requires basic
health and educational services, including a community child program, as
well as access to safe water and sanitation, apart from seeds and tools
and other instruments to foster agricultural production and to start a
recovery process.

In spite of the Government's efforts to extend the control of the
territory, a large part of the displaced population is still inaccessible
for assistance. 60% of the areas hosting displaced populations are still
without humanitarian presence.

The displaced population in Angola amounts to 3,8 million. LWF is the main
humanitarian NGO in two provinces with reportedly 231,000 IDPs of which
164,000 are registered with the UN.

LWF has assisted 85,000 with emergency relief items (blankets, kitchen
kits, plastic sheeting) in the two provinces . This means that 79,000 of
the 164,000 UN registered displaced are still unattended, as well as those
who are reported but still inaccessible for any assistance, or live
scattered among the resident population.

In spite of the government successes in flushing out and weakening the
military capacity of the rebels, the influx of the displaced has not
stopped, instead it triggered a new exodus of people due to fear of more
fighting. New arrivals have been registered at IDP sites in Moxico, at a
monthly rate of 1,500-2,000 persons and 400-500 in Lunda Sul .

Due to the current situation, the government has again taken a more
aggressive stand with regard to resettling the population in alternative
areas around the cities, as return to their home areas is not yet
possible. This initiative is being supported by the UN and NGOs, provided
that the guidelines on minimum standards are adhered to in moving the
population. The settlement of IDPs to safe areas is intended to free the
cities and to stimulate agricultural production so that the population
will be less dependent on food aid.

However, funding to support this initiative is not forthcoming, as donors
ceased to support the eastern provinces and shifted their attention to
provinces along the coast and in the highland.

More than half a million are displaced in areas inaccessible to
international agencies. The continued Government offensive will open up
access to more needy populations and new needs will follow new
displacement caused by the continuing war.


Location of the emergency

There are six provinces with the highest level of displacement during the
last two years, LWF's operation will continue in the Moxico and Lunda Sul
provinces.


Impact on Human Lives

The displacement of millions of people due to the civil war in Angola has
created a negative social spiral leading to destitution, increase in
family and communal violence and a negative impact on development. The
population seeks safe haven in provincial capitals, where basic
infrastructures are already weak or non-existent. War-affected and
displaced people compete for dwindling resources and limited opportunities
to pursue production and employment. Most people live in precarious
conditions, often without access to potable water, basic sanitation, and
health services. High- level inflation erodes over-stretched coping
mechanisms, creating further hardship and destitution, especially among
women and children.

The result of this spiral is a latent emergency situation affecting the
whole country. Around 78 percent of the rural population is living below
the poverty line and 60 percent of the displaced population is
malnourished. In the index for human development Angola is at the level of
Haiti and Sudan. (UNDP Report 1999 on Human Development in Angola and 2001
UN Consolidated Inter-Agency Appeal for Angola).

According to UNICEF's Progress of Nations Report Angola, together with
Sierra Leone it is the worst country in the world for a child to grow up.
One out of every three children die before the age of five, 53% of
children have stunted growth and less than fifty percent attend school. In
addition the maternal mortality is one of the highest in the world.
Furthermore, the average schooling among rural women is less than one
year.


Location of Proposed Emergency Response

LWF/ACT will continue to meet the needs of the displaced people in the
Moxico and Lunda Sul provinces . The need has increased due to recent new
arrivals and since major donors, that have supported humanitarian action
in those provinces in the past, have ceased their support .  Furthermore,
no other NGO except LWF is working in camp management, providing the basic
services in water, sanitation, emergency non-food items and preventive
health. Most of the NGOs in Luena and in Saurimo are involved in curative
health, demining and agriculture .


Statistics and Figures on the Emergency

During the last two decades more than 25 percent of the Angolan population
has been displaced.

Since January 2000, 350'000 people have been up-rooted due to continued
military operations. Of those who have fled in recent months a relatively
large number have not yet been registered and are therefore not receiving
humanitarian assistance.


In Moxico and Lunda Sul, 164,000 IDPs or 32,920 families are accessible
and registered by the UN. Out of this figure LWF has assisted 16,803
families ( 51.04 % ) during the period 1999-2000, both with funds from ACT
and ECHO.  16,117 families remain un-assisted, of which 7,000 families are
targeted in this appeal.

This population belongs to three major ethnic groups : Chokwe, Lundas, and
Luvale. They have similar traditions, beliefs, culture, family attachment
and farming practices .  They have a rural background where farming is the
major economic activity and source of livelihood.  In terms of gender and
age the caseload is distributed as follows: 16 % adult men, 19 % adult
women , 30 % male children and 35 % female children.


Description of Current Security Situation

The security has improved in the provincial capitals , Luena and Saurimo
and their immediate surroundings. A gradual de-mining operation, is
carried out by the Norwegian People's AID (NPA) and the Mines Advisory
Group (MAG), in Luena which has improved the security greatly. Efforts to
resettle displaced and find secure land for food production depend on
continued de-mining. Saurimo has a security perimeter of 50 km in which
settlement is safe.

On the other hand the security has worsened in rural areas due to ambushes
and new mines being laid. All cargo and passenger transport to Luena and
Saurimo have to be made by air.



GOAL & OBJECTIVES

The goal is to provide immediate support for displaced families to
survive, and to provide them with orientation and resources in case they
can return to their places of origin and resume a normal live.


Objectives

to stabilize displaced populations in acute need of survival assistance

to care for displaced people in camps through provision of clean water,
sanitation and preventive health care.

to lower morbidity and mortality among mothers and children

to assist displaced populations to resettle in the new areas by
rehabilitation of basic infrastructures - water provision, sanitation,
schools and health posts.

to prepare the displaced for their eventual return to their home villages
through training activities

to build the capacity of local church and other partners to take over the
responsibility for IDP camps through hands-on training




BENEFICIARY INFORMATION AND TARGETED AREAS

Number and Type of Beneficiaries Targeted

There are six provinces with the highest number of displaced population in
the last two years. LWF is the main humanitarian NGO in one of these ,
Moxico , with reportedly 164,602 IDPs (OCHA November 2000), of which
45,000 are settled in LWF run sites. Together with WFP, LWF is nearly
alone in providing assistance to 72,111 IDPs (OCHA, November 2000)  in the
Lunda Sul province.

7,000 displaced families, of which 5,000 newly displaced and 2,000 in new
accessible areas will be assisted in non- food emergency relief items.  
7,000 families, new arrivals and those resettled in new areas will receive
other assistance in water, sanitation and other basic services at LWF
sites.


Criteria for selecting beneficiaries

Health measures will be directed to children and women, who are the most
vulnerable.

Non-food relief items will be distributed to newly displaced and to needy
populations in areas which have previously been inaccessible to
humanitarian aid.

Other assistance, including preparation for return , will be given to
those settled at LWF sites.

Within the framework of the resettlement program rehabilitation of water
provision, sanitation, schools and health posts will be carried out in
five settlement sites. This program will be complemented by the provision
of seeds ,tools and other agricultural implements through Euronaid.

Capacity building will be aimed at a few churches and NGOs that are
willing and able to take over responsibility for IDP camps.



DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ASSISTANCE

Distribution of essential Non Food Items

Kitchen sets, blankets, buckets, soap and salt will be needed by 7000
beneficiary families.

Plastic sheeting is a vital to provide temporary shelter.  Some structures
can be established with grass, mud or bricks but roofing material is only
available at the beginning of the dry season. To provide protection the
huts have to be covered with plastic sheeting.  During the rainy season
the plastic sheeting is also used to cover the ground in order to protect
blankets and other material on which to sleep.

An average family (5 persons) will receive: 3 blankets, 1 kitchen set , 2
buckets , 20 m2 plastic sheeting , 1 kg soap, 300 g salt.  But in the
actual distribution the number of items per family will depend on the size
of the family.


Transportation

It is expected that WFP's free cargo flights will continue to be
available. LWF will be responsible for port clearing and handling as well
as transport to warehouses and airports and supervision of loading and
offloading at the airport.  LWF will provide labor and transport necessary
for offloading at the airport of destination .The budget line for vehicles
includes fuel, repair/maintenance and hired vehicles as deemed necessary.

However, an emergency budget has still been included in the proposal for
the eventuality that WFP cargo flights are not available during a limit
period of time. The required buffer amount has been reflected in the
budget.

 
Integrated water and sanitation program

LWF/ACT will provide shelter, safe water and sanitation to five new sites
for displaced populations, three in Luena and two in Saurimo.  Some 10
water points with hand pumps will be required along with cement to
fabricate concrete rings as well as liners. Spare parts will be needed for
these pumps and the 20 already existing . Some 250 latrine dome slabs for
latrines will be produced and established in every strategic area in camps
and settlement areas so as to promote hygiene and sanitation.

Alternatively when the manually operated drilling rig cannot be used ,
shallow wells are used with concrete rings, produced locally by using
fabricated molders. Two hydraulic pumps, which do not use any external
source of energy, will be installed to provide water for two settlements
of 3,000 families, situated at a level of 30 meters above the natural
spring water sources. In addition to the pumps, concrete water reservoirs
leading to the pump will be built and a recipient at the other end where
the population can fetch the water.

This assistance will be given in the framework of an integrated preventive
health care program which also includes training of committees for the
management of water points, repair/maintenance of hand pumps, latrines and
rubbish pits .

The population will be mobilized to dig wells, rubbish pits and latrines
as part of the participatory approach in water, hygiene and sanitation.


Program for women and children

Since diarrhea is a major cause of child morbidity matters of hygiene,
particularly in relation to the treatment of water is a vital element in
the preventive health program . A LWF community health co-ordinator
together with two local health workers will train the water and sanitation
committees of the settlements as well as health promoters. She is also
responsible for providing training to traditional birth attendants in
order to reduce the high mortality rate in connection with child birth.
 
At the sites five health posts and five care centers for children (PIC
PECs) with adjoining 25 latrines will be erected . The care centers (PIC
PECS) wil1 house the community child program which contains both a feeding
center and a pedagogic element.  In Luena and Saurimo a program for
treating trauma affected children will also be introduced in collaboration
with the organization International Child Development Program (ICDP) which
has developed its activities on an initiative from Norway.

The above mentioned preventive health program will also include HIV/AIDS
information , counseling and training of 100 traditional birth attendants.  
TBA kits will be provided to the trained midwives so that they can deliver
quality maternity services.  Curative health is provided by IMC and
MSF-Belgium in Luena, and by Caritas in Saurimo in collaboration with the
local health authorities.


Capacity building

The LWF/ACT project will contain training in camp leadership and
management for local church and NGO partners that can take over some
responsibility for camps and settlements as well as for the camp
populations in management of water and sanitation, preventive health and
training of traditional birth attendants. Other community work projects
outside this appeal will offer human rights promotion , environmental and
mine awareness , alphabetization and professional skills training ,
including in agricultural techniques .


Resettlement program

Preliminarily five areas have been selected for the LWF resettlement
program, three in the Luena area and two outside Saurimo. The definite
selection of areas outside Luena is related to the progress of the
demining operations. LWF is involved in an ongoing planning exercise with
the Provincial Government, the UN and other NGOs. This planning is based
on discussions between Government, UN and the NGOs which led to decreed
minimum standards to be followed by continued consultations on the
implementation. These standards require inter alia the establishment of
basic services in water, sanitation, health and education apart from the
obvious requirement of security.

Some 10 water points and 250 latrines are needed for the LWF/ACT program.
In addition are foreseen five health post, five schools and five child
care centers, to be rehabilitated.  In the case of the child care centers
they are simple constructions in locally available material. The same
applies to the schools.




DESCRIPTION OF IMPLEMENTATION METHOLOGY

Personnel

The LWF/DWS/ACT-Angola, has a pool of experienced staff in the project
sites, which have been working with the organization for over five years
both in emergency and rehabilitation programs. For this project, the
Regional Project Co-ordinator will be responsible for the overall
management, implementation and reporting . In each project area the work
is directed by the project co-ordinators and assistant co-ordinators.

In order to maintain communications and overall co-ordination one radio
operator at each field office and one in Luanda are required.

Transportation and distribution in the field of emergency items and other
inputs for the project is done by two logistics officers and a logistics
assistant together with eight drivers two storekeepers , six guards and 10
laborers. The procurement and clearing is done by the Luanda logistics
co-ordinator assisted by a logistics officer.

The establishment of water points will be done by two locally trained
water technicians.  They also train the camp committees in management of
pumps and water systems. The work for establishing water points, digging
latrines and rubbish pits is done by the camp population on the basis of a
food for work scheme.

The LWF health co-ordinator in collaboration with local community health
workers will train the population in hygiene and preventive health and
also train the traditional birth attendants.

The work for the displaced population is designed on a community based
approach, securing as much as possible the active participation of the
community. Most of the rehabilitation of health posts and schools is done
on the basis of food for work.


Project Support

The field offices in Saurimo and Luena have offices, warehouses, staff
residences and garage space available. The offices are equipped with light
vehicles, trucks, HF radios, computers and other essential equipment.


Transportation Requirements

LWF/ACT-Angola has its own trucks and light duty vehicles for
implementation and monitoring purposes.  However, there is still a need to
hire additional trucks during the peak of the project implementation.
Cargo flights for the NFI's and other essential emergency items will be
provided free of charge by WFP which also provides for free passenger
transport from Luanda to the project areas.  However, an emergency buffer
for airlifts has been included in the budget in case WFP is unable to
provide free cargo flights for some time.


Procurement

Most material will have to be purchased through international procurement,
since it is not available in Angola at acceptable prices. The ACT
procurement guidelines will be followed.


Provision and Implementation of Assistance 

The assistance will be provided at IDP camps and in settlement areas
complying with the minimum standards, decreed by the Government . The
LWF/ACT project activities will be carried-out by the local staff who live
in the area and have a thorough knowledge of the situation and know the
people in terms of culture, tradition and other norms. They will use a
community based approach and the IDPs themselves are considered partners
in the projects.


Other projects

The resettlement program will be supported by the provision of seeds,
tools and other agricultural implements through Euronaid.

The emergency assistance will be complemented by a program for peace
building, building of civil society and promotion of human rights as well
as a recovery program. This includes agricultural projects for improving
seeds, multiplication of rapid growth cassava, training in improved
farming techniques, reforestation and other environmental projects as well
as training in carpentry, brick-laying, sowing and other skills and
micro-credit schemes for income generation . These activities will also
strengthen the ability to cope with the own environment upon return to the
home villages.



ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING

Monitoring and Administration

The overall responsibility for the project lies with the Country
Representative based in Luanda who will regularly visit the project sites.

The site co-ordinators are responsible for implementation under the
supervision of the Regional Project Co-ordinator.

Needs assessment will be carried out by LWF/ACT staff in close contact
with the IDP committees and in co-ordination with the provincial
Humanitarian Co-ordination Groups, consisting of the provincial
authorities, OCHA and other UN agencies, NGO's and Churches .

Progress reports are prepared by the co-ordinators in the field. The
financial control and reporting is under the responsibility of Regional
co-ordinator and the finance Manager based in Luanda.

The Logistics Co-ordinator, assisted by a logistic officer and other
support staff will take care of the procurement of relief items, clearing,
handling, storing and transports to the field. A computerised system is
being established for monitoring the flow of goods from the procurement to
the final distribution to the beneficiaries.


Monitoring 

The LWF - ACT monitoring guidelines as well as environmental and shelter
standards will be used. The field co-ordinators will compile monthly
progress reports and financial reports.

Consultations take place in weekly humanitarian co-ordination meetings
with the Provincial authorities, OCHA, WFP and other NGOs.  LWF/ACT also
takes part in weekly meetings with OCHA in Luanda for exchange of
information, follow up on developments and discussions on new initiatives.

The interim report to ACT will be prepared/submitted quarterly. A final
report will be submitted at the end of the project


Finance

Financial data are provided by the field and the reports to the ACT
network are established by the Finance department in Luanda. The
established LWF financial system will be adhered to. The Luanda finance
personnel will make a quarterly visit to field offices to work with staff
on financial control, updating, verification of expenditure reports, and
train local staff in stock audits and inventory control.



IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

The implementation period for this project is one year from 1 March 2001
to 28 February 2002.



CO-ORDINATION

LWF/ACT-Angola will extend its partnership with local churches in the
provinces and will work closely with the community committees at the IDP
camps, which serve as focal groups in the implementation of various
activities in the camps.

Various training and capacity building will be carried out specifically
for camp committees, local partners and government staff.

LWF/ACT works in close co-ordination with Provincial Government ,
including the various ministry offices for social affairs , health ,
agriculture and education in identifying needs and setting of priorities .
This co-ordination has the view to ensure that relief assistance is
provided where and when it is best needed and to avoid duplication. The
co-ordination takes place in the Provincial Humanitarian Co-ordination
Group, which is lead by respective Governor or vice Governor .

At the Luanda level major NGOs meet with OCHA once a week in order to
review the situation, share information/plans of action and discuss new
initiatives.

LWF/ACT will also continue the collaboration with international and local
NGOs that are members of the Provincial Humanitarian Group.  LWF
particularly co-ordinates and collaborates with IMC, MSF-B, JRS, and
Caritas in terms of health intervention ; with SCF-USA and WF in terms of
food security and food for work and with the local NGOs AJATERRA, AMMIGA,
and LASSP in camp management and IDPs registration. In Saurimo
collaboration with the new local NGO, Mother Theresa of Calcutta
Foundation for the management of children centres (PIC-PECS) has started
and will be strengthened.

Of particular importance is the collaboration with the demining agencies
Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) and the Mine Advisory Group (MAG) , whose
work is a precondition for extending LWS's assistance to areas outside the
cities. The demining is closely co-ordinated with LWFs assistance plans.

In the UN family OCHA has the humanitarian co-ordinating role and is
therefore a very close partner. ECHO has supported LWF work in recent
years as well as Euronaid and NESA ( all EU agencies). On WFP's services
depend all cargo and passenger transport to the field. WFP has also
provided the food for displaced populations and co-operates with Food for
Work projects, vital for nutrition and mobilising the displaced in various
recovery /rehabilitation works. UNHCR has been an important partner in the
past and is presently , together with UN Human Rights Division , OCHA and
ICRC a partner in UN-NGO dialogue about protection and promotion of human
rights and formation of monitoring and counselling groups in the area of
human rights.
