Angola - Complex Emergency
Situation Report #2, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002 June 12, 2002
Note: The last situation report was dated May 07, 2002.
BACKGROUND
On April 4, 2002, representatives of the Government of the Republic of
Angola (GRA) and the National Union for the Independence of Angola (UNITA)
signed a memorandum of understanding that ended the 27-year civil war and
reinstated the1994 Lusaka Protocol. The agreement resulted in a new set of
opportunities and challenges for the humanitarian community. Increased
access to populations in need of humanitarian assistance and the
availability of more cost-effective road transport of humanitarian
supplies have been accompanied by continued influxes of internally
displaced persons (IDPs) as people from previously isolated areas move in
search of assistance, increased threats of landmines, and a rise in the
need for humanitarian resources in the short term.
The GRA estimates that more than 4.0 million Angolans have been affected
by the civil war. To date, the United States Government (USG) has
provided more than $75.1 million in emergency assistance to those affected
by war in Angola in FY 2002, channeled through the United States Agency
for International Development's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance
(USAID/OFDA), Office of Food for Peace (USAID/FFP), and Africa Bureau
(USAID/AFR), as well as the State Department's Bureau of Population,
Refugees, and Migration (State/PRM) and the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA). Since 1990, the USG has contributed nearly $750
million in emergency assistance to affected populations in Angola.

CURRENT SITUATION
Political Issues
On February 22, 2002, Jonas Savimbi, who led UNITA for over three decades,
was killed in battle with the GRA's Angolan Armed Forces (FAA). Savimbi's
death marked a turning point in the armed conflict between rival
liberation movements that began following independence in 1975.
The memorandum of understanding (MOU), signed on April 4, 2002 by the GRA
and UNITA, called for full implementation of the 1994 Lusaka peace
accords. Under the Lusaka agreement, rebel soldiers were to be demobilized
and some integrated into the FAA, and UNITA transformed into a legitimate
political party. Angola's Parliament took immediate steps to begin
implementing the accord by unanimously passing a law that provides amnesty
for all UNITA combatants.
Demobilization and Reintegration
On May 20, the GRA agreed to allow the FAA and the United Nations (U.N.)
to coordinate assistance in the Family Reception Areas (FRAs), formerly
referred to as Family Quartering Areas (QFAs). The announcement followed
several weeks of negotiations aimed at preventing the deterioration of
humanitarian conditions in the FRAs from threatening the peace process.
As of June 04, 2002, United Nations agencies led by the U.N. Office for
the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) completed access and
security assessments of 33 of the total 35 FRAs. According to the Joint
Military Commission, 82,185 soldiers, accompanied by 220,264 family
members, had arrived at the FRAs as of June 03. The most critical needs in
the FRAs include food, essential drugs, nutritional feeding programs, non-
food items, vaccinations, and water and sanitation interventions. Initial
reports indicate that FAA-provided emergency food assistance was arriving
in the FRAs during the week of June 03.
In May, USAID/OFDA deployed a Demobilization and Reintegration Planning
Liaison Officer to assess the humanitarian situation within the FRAs,
identify opportunities for the USAID/OFDA to assist family members,
recommend areas where the USG could play a role in a successful
demobilization and reintegration effort, and liaise with other donors, the
U.N., World Bank, and other assessment teams working on demobilization and
reintegration issues.
Following USAID/OFDA's assessment of the FRAs, USAID/OFDA provided more
than $2.0 million in non- food emergency assistance commodities to the U.
N. through the International Organization for Migration (IOM) for
distribution in the FRAs. The first of three airlift operations consisted
of stockpiled commodities from USAID/OFDA's warehouse in Pisa, Italy
arrived in two shipments in Luanda on May 22 and May 24. The airlift
contained 2,500 rolls of plastic sheeting, 50,000 water jugs, and 50,000
blankets, valued at $1,534,000 including transportation costs. The second
airlift arrived in Luanda May 31 from India, containing 12,900 kitchen
sets, valued at $289,475 including transportation costs. The final
airlift, which contained 7,900 kitchen sets valued at $171,038, arrived in
Luanda from India on June 11. In addition to these airlifts, a USAID/OFDA-
supported sealift containing 4,200 kitchen sets and more than 50,000 bars
of soap, valued at $84,866, from South Africa is en route to Luanda. The
World Food Program (WFP) will transport these commodities to central
distribution points in the provinces for distribution in the FRAs.
Security and Access
Since the signing of the peace agreement, security and accessibility has
improved throughout the country. The shift is evidenced by a continuing
influx of IDPs from previously inaccessible regions. However,
accessibility continues to be limited by the threat of landmines. In
November 2001, the State Department's Bureau for Political/Military
Affairs (State/PM) estimated that between 200,000 and six million
landmines had been laid in Angola since the beginning of the conflict in
1975. According to State/PM, the heaviest concentration of landmines
extends from the northwest border with the Democratic Republic of Congo
(DRC) to the southeast border with Namibia, covering nearly 50 % of the
country. State/PM also estimated that one in every 334 Angolans, or 70,000
people, are amputees as a result of landmine explosions. Since 1995,
State/PM has provided more than $12.0 million in humanitarian demining
assistance to Angola. Of this total, State/PM provided $2.8 million
through NGOs to address humanitarian demining issues in Angola to date in
FY 2002.
The threat of landmines continues to have a direct impact on humanitarian
assistance efforts in Angola. The preliminary findings of the U.N.'s rapid
assessment of critical needs (RACN), conducted in May 2002, identified
Bié, Huila, Huambo, Lunda Sul, Bengo, Cuando Cubango, and Kwanza Norte
provinces as priorities for land mine efforts. Security issues remain the
primary constraint for humanitarian organizations attempting to access
affected populations. To address this challenge, USAID/OFDA supports the
United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to maintain civil/military
security liaison officers in selected provinces. The liaison officers work
with the FAA, civil police, and the non- governmental organization (NGO)
community to facilitate and enhance the exchange of security information.
USAID/OFDA began supporting this effort in 1999 and continued in FY 2002
by providing an additional $880,000.
In addition to chronic insecurity, humanitarian relief operations are
constrained by the country's devastated infrastructure. After nearly three
decades of war, the majority of the nation's roadways and airstrips are
impassable or insecure. While the cessation of violence has enabled
increased proportions of emergency commodities to be delivered via road,
approximately 40- 50% of all the humanitarian assistance efforts in Angola
must still be delivered by air. The number and size of aircraft that can
be accommodated in most of the nation's inadequate and debilitated
airstrips are limited, often hampering emergency relief efforts.
The lack of a functional transportation infrastructure, coupled with
chronic insecurity and the threat of landmines, increases the overall cost
of providing and monitoring humanitarian assistance. Insecurity and
access constraints also limit the quantity of emergency relief commodities
that can be delivered to certain areas, decreasing the ability of the
humanitarian community to fully meet the needs of vulnerable populations.
In response to access concerns, USAID/OFDA continues to fund WFP efforts
to provide air transport of non-food items and humanitarian personnel from
the international and local NGOs, the donor community, U.N. Agencies, and
the diplomatic corps. In FY 2002, USAID/OFDA provided more than $1.1
million to WFP for these logistical air support efforts, which USAID/OFDA
has supported since 1991.
Newly Accessible Locations
The preliminary findings of the U.N.'s RACN in previously inaccessible
areas indicated that as many as 815,000 additional people, including new
IDPs, vulnerable residents, and returning or resettling populations, are
in need of humanitarian assistance. The initial results also concluded
that malnutrition, child mortality, food security, and access to potable
water are among the primary humanitarian concerns in most locations. The
U.N. completed RACNs in 28 previously inaccessible areas in 12 provinces,
while 13 sites located in Moxico, Bié, Huila, Lunda Norte, Malanje, and
Kwanza Sul provinces were determined to be inaccessible due to security
concerns.
In response to increased access to populations in need of humanitarian
assistance, USAID/OFDA provided more than $780,000 to AAH/USA to provide
essential emergency assistance, include health, nutrition, and water and
sanitation services, for 30,000 beneficiaries in newly accessible zones.
Refugees
As a result of three decades of violence, many Angolans have sought refuge
in neighboring countries. According to State/PRM, nearly 465,000 Angolan
refugees were living in other countries in April 2002: 225,000 in Zambia;
192,000 in the DRC; 30,000 in Namibia; and 18,000 in the Republic of Congo
(ROC). Of this total, 170,000 Angolan refugees are estimated to have fled
since the resumption of hostilities in 1998. Some of the older case load
refugees have spontaneously settled and are now integrated into the host
community. Most of the newer caseload refugees are in camps established by
the host country and assisted by the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR), WFP, and NGOs. As a result of the April 04 cease-fire
and the prospect for a durable peace in Angola, UNHCR reported widespread
interest among refugees in returning home. UNHCR is tentatively planning
for as many as 80,000 spontaneous returns in 2002, followed by an
organized repatriation program to begin in 2003.
State/PRM continues to support the humanitarian needs of Angolan refugees
throughout the region through funding to UNHCR, WFP, and NGOs. To date,
State/PRM has provided approximately $11.0 million to UNHCR to support
Angolan refugees in Zambia, Namibia, the DRC, and ROC. In addition,
State/PRM provided a $583,000 grant to Lutheran World Relief to assist
Angola refugees in Zambia. These contributions are in addition to
State/PRM's unearmarked contribution to UNHCR for Africa, totaling $20.1
million to date in FY 2002. State/PRM has also contributed $27.4 million
to ICRC for its Africa programs, a portion of which is used to support
ICRC programs in Angola.
Internally Displaced Persons and Resettlement According to the GRA, there
are 4.3 million IDPs in Angola, of which 1,340,000 are registered by
humanitarian organizations for humanitarian assistance. Intensified
fighting throughout the country during the first quarter of FY 2002
resulted in increased IDP influxes. In March 2002, UN OCHA warned that the
humanitarian community in Angola was stretched to its limits, despite
operating at full capacity. As a result of the cease-fire and increased
accessibility, UN OCHA estimates that between 100,000 and 300,000 Angolans
will become newly displaced in the next six months?as Angolans who were
previously isolated in inaccessible areas move in search of humanitarian
assistance. Others will require assistance in such recently accessed areas
as Cuemba and Bunjei. Many observers suggest that the success of the peace
process will do little to alleviate continued IDP influxes as new areas
become accessible to relief organizations. Therefore, the humanitarian
community in Angola will require significant increases in resources in
order to meet the needs of the most vulnerable.
Among the IDP populations in Angola, the number of unaccompanied, or
separated children has risen noticeably in the Provinces of Moxico, Bié,
Huambo, and Kuanza Sul. The U.N. reported that 4,650 separated children
were registered from June to December 2001, while NGOs estimate that there
are approximately 100,000 unaccompanied children across the country.
ICRC is engaged in family reunification and tracing efforts in 10
provinces including Huambo, Moxico, Bié, Huila, Benguela, Cuando-Cubango,
Uigé, Kwanza Norte, Kwanza Sul, and Luanda.
USAID/OFDA supports a variety of humanitarian assistance programs directly
targeted at more than 2.2 million vulnerable IDPs, the majority of which
are women and children. The details of these efforts are outlined by
sector below.
Food Security and Agriculture
The food security situation in Angola is expected to deteriorate,
following the late arrival of seasonal rains and delays in delivering
agricultural inputs due to insecurity. The worst affected provinces
include Benguela, Bié, Kuanza Norte, Kuanza Sul, Malanje, Moxico, and
Uíge.
In response to food security concerns, USAID/OFDA provided $250,000 in
support to World Vision International (WVI). The WVI initiative provides
families with farmer-selected crop seeds and planting materials, promotes
low cost, sustainable soil fertility practices, and disseminates results
and lessons learned from other food security efforts in the area.
Approximately 50,000 IDPs in Malanje and Kwanza Norte Provinces
participate in the program.
In addition, USAID/OFDA continued its FY 2001 support of the United
Nations Food and Agriculture's (FAO) food security and agriculture
coordination efforts by providing an additional $50,000 in FY 2002. FAO
also received $3.2 million from USAID/OFDA to distribute seeds and tools
to IDP and resettling populations throughout the country.
To date, USAID/FFP provided 30,840 MT of P.L. 480 Title II Emergency Food
Assistance valued at $21.6 million in FY 2002. USAID/FFP's contributions
support the daily food requirements of approximately 150,000 vulnerable
Angolans through the WFP. In addition, USDA contributed 39,700 MT of
416(b) emergency food assistance, totaling $28.7 million.
Health
As humanitarian access to previously isolated populations continues to
improve, the overall health situation in Angola continues to deteriorate,
as the critical health needs of those who have been without health care in
inaccessible locations becomes apparent. Three decades of violence
destroyed water and sanitation systems throughout the country. Health care
services are nonexistent or inaccessible for the majority of the
population. IDPs are moving into already overcrowded urban and semi-urban
areas without functioning health infrastructures. As a result, the
potential for epidemics in urban areas and IDP camps remains high.
Malaria, respiratory infections, and diarrheal diseases are among the most
common ailments and reported causes of death for Angolans.
In response to the health situation in Angola, USAID/OFDA supported
approximately $4.9 million in emergency health initiatives during FY 2002.
In an effort to improve public health conditions, USAID/OFDA provided more
than $500,000 to AAH/USA to increase the availability of curative and
preventative health services in for 143,000 people in Ganda Municipality
of Benguela Province. AAH/USA's health program ensures reliable regular
supplies of essential drugs and medical equipment and provides supervision
and technical assistance of MINSA staff working in health clinics,
hospitals, and community health initiatives. In addition to benefiting the
general population, the program also targets 28,600 children under the age
of five and 34,000 women of child-bearing age. USAID/OFDA's support to
AAH/USA also facilitates efforts to monitor the humanitarian situation in
the municipality.
USAID/OFDA also provided nearly $2.0 million in support to OXFAM for water
and sanitation initiatives. In order to improve overall public health,
OXFAM plans to provide 214 potable water sources for 115,000 residents of
Malanje, Huambo, and Kuito. In the same areas, 88,800 residents will have
access to 5,440 latrines provided through OXFAM/GB.
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) received more than $230,000 to implement a
health education and prevention program in the Cubal, Balombo, and Ganda
municipalities of Benguela Province. The education and prevention
initiatives focus on infant and child nutrition, immunizations, and the
prevention and treatment of malaria and diarrheal diseases. Approximately
8,200 children under the age of five, 12,300 women of child- bearing age,
400 health care workers, and 115 nutrition staff benefit from the program.
Maternal and child health (MCH) issues are a priority health concern in
Angola. Angola has among the highest infant, child, and maternal mortality
ratios in the world. According to the United Nations' Children's Fund
(UNICEF), the mortality rate for children under 5 in Angola is 292 per
1,000. Levels among camp residents are estimated to be higher than those
from urban areas. A 2001 United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) analysis
found infant mortality to be 236 for every 1,000 and child mortality to be
395 for every 1,000. The recent U.N. RACN of newly accessible locations
cited child and maternal mortality rates ranging from two to six deaths
per 10,000 per day, well above the emergency threshold of one death per
10,000 per day. Maternal mortality ratio figures from the last national
estimate (1993) indicate that between 1,281 and 2,000 women die for every
100,000 live births?compared to 137 per 100,000 in Namibia. Recent
assessments indicate that nearly 85% of all births are unattended and that
emergency obstetrical care and antenatal services are unavailable.
In response to the MCH crisis in Angola, USAID/OFDA continued to support a
MCH program implemented by International Medical Corps (IMC) with a $1.2
million grant in FY 2002. The program provides increased access to safe
and hygienic deliveries for women of childbearing age, including essential
emergency obstetric care. The total targeted population is more than 1.2
million of the most vulnerable residents and IDPs in several
municipalities in Huambo, Malanje, and Uíge provinces. IMC's MCH efforts
also include sexually transmitted disease (STD) and HIV/AIDS prevention,
child-spacing services, child vaccinations, and integrated management of
childhood illnesses. In addition, IMC trains local health care workers,
provides emergency medical supplies, and develops immunization outreach
activities.
Africare received more than $450,000 to implement an immunization program
in Camacupa and Kuito municipalities, located in Bié Province, as well as
in Waku Kungo Municipality, located in Kwanza Sul Province. The program
provides vaccines against six preventable diseases to approximately
194,000 children under the age of five and 178,000 women of child- bearing
age. USAID/OFDA's support to Africare also facilitates efforts to improve
the capacity of three health care facilities in Waku Kungo, such as the
supply of medical equipment, training of health workers and essential
drugs and the prevention and treatment of malaria, diarreal diseases, and
pneumonia
USAID/OFDA also provided $492,949 to GOAL, Ireland Relief and Development
Organization, to implement emergency public health activities, focusing on
MCH issues, for 36,000 beneficiaries, primarily women and children near
Luena city, Moxico Province.
CONCERN Worldwide received nearly $350,000 from USAID/OFDA to provide
maternal and child health services to 100,000 residents, IDPs, and
returnees in Malanje city, Malanje Province and the surrounding areas.
HIV/AIDS is also among the primary health concerns in Angola. While
government-reported prevalence rates are low?an estimated 3.4% of the
sexually active population in 1999?recent, reliable statistics regarding
HIV/AIDS prevalence are limited. In September 2001, the World Health
Organization and the Ministry of Health (MOH) reported a 33% prevalence
rate among sex workers in Luanda. UNICEF and the MOH indicated a
prevalence rate of 8.6% among pregnant women in Luanda in September 2001.
Some observers estimate that more than 100,000 cases have gone unreported.
General lack of awareness, a decimated health system, unsafe medical
practices, a high level of STDs, high levels of sexual violence, fluid
populations movements, including across borders, and high prevalence rates
in neighboring countries indicate that Angola may have a more serious
HIV/AIDS problem than is currently acknowledged.
The National Institute of Statistics is working closely with UNICEF to
complete a Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (MICS) that will provide a
comprehensive overview of the status of women and children in Angola.
The results will include data regarding child and maternal health,
malaria, HIV/AIDS, nutrition, water and sanitation, education, migrations,
and household characteristics. While this study is nationwide, women and
children residing in IDP camps were not originally included in the sample.
In response, USAID/OFDA provided approximately $140,000 to UNICEF to
expand this effort to include women and children IDPs in 10 provinces.
Nutrition
A nutrition crisis is emerging in Angola, not only among newly arriving
IDP populations, but also among residents of areas where access has
recently been gained. The U.N.'s RACN revealed that critical levels of
malnutrition exist in Bunhei, Chilembo, Chipindo, Cuemba, Sanza Pombo, and
the communes of Ussoque and Vila Franca. In more than half of the
assessed locations, the RACN indicated that severe and moderate
malnutrition rates among IDPs and residents have reached 10% and 25%
respectively.
In response to the nutrition crisis in Angola, USAID/OFDA provided
approximately $1.9 million in support of nutrition activities to date in
FY 2002. For example, USAID/OFDA provided more than $750,000 to AAH/USA to
implement a supplementary feeding program to benefit 11,400 vulnerable
residents and IDPs in the Ganda Municipality of Benguela Province.
CRS received an additional $1.1 million to implement emergency nutrition
activities in Benguela Province. CRS's nutrition efforts include the
provision of therapeutic and supplementary feeding to 7,200 children under
five in Balombo and Cubal municipalities. CRS also supports mobile
supplementary feeding centers benefiting 4,300 children in Balombo and
Cubal. In addition, 18,600 children in Cubal and Ganda receive dray
rations through the CRS initiative. USAID/OFDA's support to CRS also
facilitates the training of health and nutrition workers, as well as the
development of a health and nutrition referral network.
USAID/OFDA also provided more than $43,000 to Africare to manage community
kitchen programs in Waku Kungo, located in Kwanza Sul Province and Kuito,
located in Bié Province. The community kitchens address nutrition
requirements of children under five.
In addition, nutrition component of the USAID/OFDA-supported CONCERN
program, outlined above, specifically addresses the nutritional needs
100,000 of vulnerable pregnant and lactating women, malnourished children,
and tuberculosis patients.
NOTE: USAID/FFP and USDA commodities support nutritional requirements of
vulnerable Angolans, in addition to food security issues.
Coordination
In FY 2002, USAID/OFDA provided $1 million to UN OCHA to enhance
coordination efforts among the humanitarian community. The grant to UN
OCHA also supports reporting efforts and information sharing activities
among the U.N., GRA, NGOs, and donors. This coordination funding provides
for field advisors who work across Angola to provide information to the
humanitarian community on security and access. USAID/OFDA also continued
funding UN OCHA's Emergency Response Fund (ERF) with an additional $3
million in support in FY 2002. The ERF provides rapid disbursement of
funds through humanitarian partners to serve as a short-term, emergency
mechanism to assist communities until emergency response programs can be
put in place. The ERF addresses the need for the international
humanitarian community to have flexibility to rapidly changing needs. UN
OCHA has a list of over 90 urgent projects on its top priority list for
consideration.
USAID/OFDA also addressed coordination issues by providing $500,000 in FY
2001 to support to the WFP Vulnerability Assessment Mapping (VAM/Angola)
project, which continues to improve the targeting of food assistance to
the most vulnerable through collection, analysis and dissemination of food
security data for the humanitarian community. In FY 2002, CRS received
$284,365 in USAID/OFDA support to continue a capacity building program for
local NGOs managing emergency response projects.
GOVERNMENT EFFORTS TO MEET HUMANITARIAN NEEDS
The GRA has shown an increased commitment to humanitarian issues. As
outlined above, the GRA has made an effort to include humanitarian
concerns in the peace process. Following the signing of the ceasefire, the
GRA has allowed increased access to populations in need by the
humanitarian community. However, the majority of the emergency assistance
delivered throughout Angola continues to be provided by the international
humanitarian community. Angola recently pledged $50 million in support of
cantonment and demobilization of ex-UNITA soldiers. To date, the GRA has
not committed any of those funds towards the disarmament, demobilization,
and reintegration process. The GRA's National Program of Emergency
Humanitarian Assistance (PNEAH) was created in 1999 to respond to Angola's
humanitarian crisis. According to a February 2002 report from UN OCHA,
Angola has allocated $45.5 million in assistance under the PNEAH.
The GRA has also reaffirmed its commitment to the closure of IDP camps and
the return and resettlement of displaced populations, preferably to their
areas of origin. The GRA's stated objective is to return or resettle
500,000 by August 2002. The U.N. stated that the return or resettlement of
more than 300,000 by August should be considered an achievement of note.
The GRA previously adopted the Norms on the Resettlement of Displaced
Populations to ensure appropriate standards and conditions are observed
during the resettlement process. The GRA is now formulating a law for
return and resettlement that should incorporate these norms.
USAID/OFDA HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE
USAID/OFDA maintains a permanent field presence in Angola by funding an
Emergency Disaster Relief Coordinator to monitor USAID/OFDA's programs,
coordinate with USAID/Luanda, and report on humanitarian issues in the
country.
Following the initial implementation of the peace agreement, USAID/OFDA
nearly tripled its planned FY 2002 budget for Angola to address the needs,
challenges, and opportunities presented by increased access. USAID/OFDA
also re-designed its response strategy in Angola to expand activities
beyond the Planalto region in order to provide greater flexibility,
geographically and programmatically, to its partners?enabling them to
rapidly respond to the fluid humanitarian situation. In addition to the
Demobilization and Reintegration Planning Liaison Officer deployed to
Angola in May, USAID/OFDA deployed an assessment team to Angola from June
11 through July 9 to build upon the ongoing UNOCHA assessment mission. The
USAID/OFDA team will focus on assessing the humanitarian situation in
newly accessible areas, including FRAs and those identified in the RACN,
as well as the needs of IDPs for return and resettlement. The assessment
team will also develop a strategy to meet identified needs and to provide
a basis for more transitional programs.
