Geneva, 26 July 2002
The killing of the UNITA rebel leader, Jonathan Savimbi by government
forces on 22 February 2002 brought to an end the 25-year brutal civil war
that was responsible for the displacement of about 4 million people within
the country and tens of thousands as refugees in the neighbouring
countries. The end of the war further revealed the plight of hundreds of
thousands of people that had been behind the UNITA military lines and
could not be accessed by humanitarian organisations. The situation of
these people was made worse by the government's scorched-earth policy in
pursuit of the rebels * meaning that people were left with no food or
personal belongings. These form part of the worst caseloads of people
needing urgent humanitarian attention. The government working with the UN
and non-governmental organisations has accessed some of the worst areas in
trying to determine the numbers of people needing urgent humanitarian
assistance. The number of people in critical need in these newly accessed
areas has been found to be around 800,000. It should be mentioned though
that some areas are still inaccessible due to the presence of land mines.
Among those in particular need are 250,000 family members of the rebel
soldiers who came out of the bush and entered government quartering areas
for demobilisation. The 420,000 people still in IDP camps also continue to
need relief assistance.
The surfacing new needs has prompted ACT members the Lutheran World
Federation (LWF) and the Evangelical Reformed Church of Angola (IERA) to
revise their proposals in the original AFAO-21 Appeal in accordance with
the current needs. For the LWF this revised appeal will, in addition to
relief assistance, also focus on peace building programs and assistance in
facilitating the return of IDPs and refugees to their home areas. IERA
will continue to provide relief items and health facilities to IDPs in the
camps and also provide assistance to the newly resettled populations.

REQUESTING ACT MEMBER INFORMATION
Lutheran World Federation-Angola Programme (LWF/WS-Angola)
IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER AND PARTNER INFORMATION
The Lutheran World Federation/Department for World Services (LWF/DWS)
involvement in Angola dates back to 1985 when it initiated an emergency
relief program in the Moxico Province for displaced people fleeing the
civil war. The program focused on providing assistance to a destitute
displaced population, returning refugees and other war affected people.
Since 2000 LWF has been the leading agency in a settlement program for the
displaced people in the Moxico and Lunda Sul provinces with the view on
one hand to stabilized their situation and on the other to enable them to
become self sufficient in food. 15 settlements have been established for
80,000 people. They include a wide range of services from the basic in
shelter, water and sanitation to construction of schools and health posts,
food security, income generation, environmental protection, preventive
health, promotion of mine awareness, human rights and peace building.
On 19 December 2001 an ACT appeal was launched to meet the humanitarian
needs in Angola. It included the humanitarian work of both the Lutheran
World Federation (LWF/DWS) and the Evangelical Reformed Church of Angola
(IERA).The LWF/DWS budget was for 1,146,681 US$. What is now presented is
a revision of that same appeal, because since then the situation in the
country has completely changed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION
Background
The civil war in Angola lasted for more than 25 years and had a
devastating effect on the country. Four million people are displaced and
basic social infrastructure is in a shambles. All development and
commercial efforts were aborted, except in the oil and diamond industry,
the revenue of which was spent on the war. Vast riches in agriculture,
minerals and metals remain un-exploited.
The beginning of the end was the defeat of UNITA's conventional forces in
a battle with the Government army in September 1999. The army had suffered
two defeats in December 1998 and February 1999 by UNITA mechanical
divisions, but the Government's overwhelming economic resources tipped the
balance. An important contributing factor to the Government's success was
the UN sanctions on UNITA's diamond trade.
Following the destruction of the main rebel bases in the highlands, the
only alternative for UNITA was guerrilla warfare. In 2001 it seemed UNITA
had the initiative in a flurry of attacks all over the country, but
particularly aimed at the coastal areas which till then were considered
safe and under Government control. However towards the end of the year a
scorched earth strategy by the Government forces had its effect with a
massive flight of the civil population to the major cities. Reports of
surrender by rebel units and high officers multiplied.
During the war's phase, it exacted a terrible price from the civil
population. The Government strategy of starving the rebels into surrender
proved successful, but at the same time removed the means of survival of a
large part of the population.
On 22 February 2002 it was officially announced that the rebel leader,
Savimbi, had been killed. After a period of uncertainty, the Government
announced its peace plan on 13 March. In the meantime some contacts had
been established with rebel commanders and cessation of hostilities was
declared on 15 March. Contacts were established between army and UNITA
commanders all over the country to work out the cease-fire arrangements
and it worked surprisingly smoothly. No incidents were reported on
recalcitrant rebels refusing to lay down arms, as was feared. No armed
actions have taken place since then.
In a solemn ceremony at the Parliament in Luanda the command of both sides
signed the cease-fire agreement on 4 April, and was followed by massive
celebrations all over the country. The UNITA leadership in exile was
initially surprised and hesitant but ended up rallying around the UNITA
military leadership, which clearly declared that the war was definitely
over.
The cease-fire agreement provided for an immediate quartering of the UNITA
forces and their families. The intention was that it would be organised
jointly by the armed forces of both parties. But it proved an arduous task
to provide food and other assistance to hundreds of thousand people in a
very short time. Many of the quartering areas were difficult to reach and
many of the quartered were found to be in an acute state of malnutrition.
On 20 May both parties agreed with the UN that the humanitarian community
would succour the quartering and demobilisation process. WFP started to
distribute food and NGOs have provide various forms of assistance.
By 20 June, when the quartering process was officially ended, 84,000
soldiers had reported to the quartering areas together with 257,000 family
members.
Current situation
This revision of the LWF proposal is prompted by the new situation in the
country. Attacks on towns, villages and roads have ceased. The massive
displacement of population is no longer taking place and the number of
people fleeing their homes has decreased radically. Many roads have been
opened up for travel and transport. The peace in itself means a much
hoped for change for the better for many people.
However, in spite of the peace, the humanitarian crisis continues. Due to
the difficult living conditions in the rebel held areas and the
scorched-earth war tactics that affected a large part of the civil
population, many Angolans still suffer a high degree of destitution. With
the change in the security situation many more people can be reached with
humanitarian assistance, once the UN security system has declared hitherto
un-used roads safe.
The cease-fire opened up earlier inaccessible areas for humanitarian
assistance and immediately the Government and the UN decided to undertake
a major needs assessment in those areas that were expected to be worst
affected. In all, 26 locations in 12 provinces were visited by Government
officials, UN agencies and NGOs in a very short period. Due to the risk of
mines, impassible roads and destroyed bridges, 10 locations which were
planned to be assessed could not be reached. The assessment reports have
served as a basis for sectoral and local action plans by the humanitarian
community. The number of persons in critical need in these newly assessed
areas are 800,000.
Among those in particular need are 250,000 family members of the rebel
soldiers, who have come out of the bush and have now entered the
Government controlled quartering areas for demobilisation. An agreement
has been made between the Government and UN on the procedures for the
support program for these families.
The total number of displaced people comes to 4 million. Of these 1,9
million are beneficiaries of humanitarian assistance and will require
continued support. This includes the 420,000 people that live in IDP
settlements.
The Government aims at facilitating the return to the home areas of a
maximum number of the displaced population before the planting season,
which starts by mid-August. For this purpose the Government has issued
legal norms for the voluntary return of people to those sites where
appropriate conditions are in place for a safe return. The objective is to
normalise the situation in the cities that are unable to cope with all the
displaced people, to stabilise the population in the home areas and to
give an impetus to the food production around the country. The time before
the planting season is a window of opportunity, which should be used as
much as possible now that movement in the country is free, except in areas
with mine risk. Those who are unable to plant this year will have to wait
until the next planting season to return. It is expected that 300,000 will
return already this year. In addition 80,000 refugees may try to return
from neighbouring countries.
According to the UN overall assessment, the current caseload for
humanitarian assistance will increase from 1.9 million to 3 million.
Impact on Human Lives/Description of damages
During 2001 displacement affected 540,000 people and during the first four
months of the year another 150,000 persons were displaced. In fact the
number of arrivals increased after the cease-fire, because it became
easier for desperate people to travel in search of assistance.
The assessment reports give a bleak picture of the humanitarian situation.
Levels of severe malnutrition and mortality rates often far exceed
emergency thresholds. Populations in all the locations urgently require
basic health care, sanitation, potable water, essential non-food items,
education and proof of identity.
Many have been living in the bush for years, feeding on roots, herbs and
wild animals and deprived of any health and other services. Much of the
farming land was burnt towards the end of the war. The weak have already
died .The strong are now weak. If assistance is not forthcoming soon,
those that are moderately malnourished now will become severely
malnourished.
The worst affected are the children. Multiple reports indicate that many
children have been dying since the end of the war. Also many parents have
died and left orphans behind. In addition children were separated from
their families during the violent end phase of the war and the tracing of
family members is a major task for humanitarian organisations. Many
children are psychologically affected by traumatic experiences.
During the massive displacement that took place during the last six months
the majority of the new arrivals were women and children. As many as 40 %
are female headed households. Their husbands were rebel soldiers or UNITA
supporters unwilling to flee, recruited into the army or dead. These
broken families are particularly vulnerable until family reunion can be
arranged, in the case the husbands are still alive.
Both parties to the cease-fire agreed that cease-fire is not the same as
lasting peace. In particular the churches stress the need for peace
building and reconciliation. This will become a burning issue when in many
cases victims and perpetrators of atrocities will be confronted with each
other when they return to the home villages. The wounds of war will take
time to heal.
There are some reports of revenge and retribution affecting vulnerable
groups such as returnees, ex-combatants, women and children. This is also
a major concern of the churches. Unfortunately the extension of state
administration to new areas is sometimes accompanied by violent incidents.
It is estimated that more than 50,000 children are separated from their
families. Another 70,000 have no parents and 700,000 are estimated to
have lost one parent. As has been the case throughout the conflict in
Angola, a significant number of IDP's are persons who have been forced to
flee several times, losing all their belongings.
Locations For Proposed Response
LWF/DWS will continue to assist the population in Moxico province, which
became the epicentre of military activity during the last phase of the war
and also in Lunda Sul province. In 2001 some 40,000 newly displaced
arrived in these provinces and 27,000 during the first four months of
2002.
Moxico province has a displaced population of 90,000 of which 50,000 are
under the care of LWF/DWS. The new challenge is the support to the return
of the displaced population to their home areas. This movement has
already started and is expected to continue to (former) population centres
along the road from Luena up to Luau on the Congolese border. The initial
assistance will focus on the towns, which are relatively close to Luena
such as Camanongue , Leua and Cameia. However, 65% of those who have
arrived during the last four months came from areas which are not yet
accessible due to impassable roads and destroyed bridges. Some 10% came
from distant places in other provinces. Those who will and are ready to
return are primarily those people who arrived in previous years. In the
return areas part of the population has remained throughout the war and
was found to be in critical need of assistance during recent assessments.
The planning has started for the reception of refugees from the DRC and
Zambia. In collaboration with and support from UNHCR, LWF/DWS will shortly
reopen its previous office in Cazombo, to assist returnees that are
arriving from Zambia. It is reported from the DRC that large numbers of
refugees are expected to return this year. This will require the LWF/DWS
office in Luau to be reopened as well.
In Moxico province LWF/DWS will assist the 3,000 families of demobilised
rebel soldiers in three areas; Calala, Chicala and Lucusse. Arrangements
for this support are co-ordinated and supported by OCHA.
People coming from Cananga and Lumbala Nguimbo reported that these areas
have populations in critical need. The UN led assessment missions to these
areas could not be carried out for logistical reasons and these are
scheduled to take place in late June and will be followed by attempts to
assist those populations. Based on information from people arriving from
other places, further needs assessments will be necessary. When the
numbers of returnees from Zambia start to increase the LWF/DWS office at
Lumbala Nguimbo will have to be opened for the reception of the returnees.
In Lunda Sul province LWF/DWS is assisting 40,000 displaced people in the
area of Saurimo. Assessments were made in Cacolo and Alto Chicapa, at 146
km and 271 km respectively from Saurimo, where critical needs were
verified and LWF/DWS will provide the needed assistance to the populations
there. Returnees are expected in Dala, Cacolo, Muconda and Muriege -
initially LWF/DWS will assist Cacolo and Muriege. Assistance to Dala and
Muconda will depend on assessments regarding possible access and needs.
LWF/DWS has started assistance to 4,000 family members of rebel soldiers
and other civilian population who have arrived from former UNITA areas.
Quartering areas are Peso Velho and Txinege. Assistance is also provided
to displaced persons at a reception centre near Saurimo town.
Disaster and Emergency Statistics
Four million people are displaced in Angola, whereof 1,9 million benefit
from humanitarian assistance. Around 420,000 displaced people are living
in IDP settlements.
Some 540,000 people were displaced during 2001 and another 150,000 during
the first four months of 2002.
In addition, 800,000 persons have been identified as in critical need
following recent needs assessments. This figure will increase, as
assessments will be carried out in new locations. It is estimated that
300,000 displaced people will return to their home areas this year.
Currently some 420,000 people are living in IDP settlements, whereof
200,000 may remain in settlements after the first wave of returnees.
During this year 80,000 refugees may return from other countries. Also the
250,000 family members of UNITA rebel soldiers are in urgent need of
assistance. In total the caseload for emergency assistance will increase
from 1,9 million to approximately three million.
Current Security Situation
The cessation of hostilities has completely changed the security
situation. No more armed actions by the warring parties have been reported
and it is not expected that the war will flare up again.
However, the crash program for demobilisation created fears of new
security risks. The parties agreed to accomplish the whole demobilisation
within 80 days. However, it was found that the population who had been
living in the UNITA bases were in a very bad state, mainly due to lack of
food and many children were dying. The necessary assistance for such a
large number of people in need had not been foreseen and at a certain
point it was reported that more than one thousand rebel soldiers headed
back for the bush again, when they found that they would not receive food.
It appears, however, that the provisions from the Government, supplemented
by food and other assistance from the UN and NGOs, coupled with strict
discipline in the UNITA ranks has arrested any tendency to disorder, which
could have led to destabilisation. So far, 84,000 soldiers have been
demobilised, which are 29,000 more than foreseen in the cease-fire
agreement.
Since mid-March many roads, which were insecure before, now have some
commercial traffic. Places, which before were only accessible by air, are
now again accessible by road. But security incidents on the roads may
still happen due to the desperate needs of a large part of the population.
Many roads are not passable due to their poor state of repair and broken
bridges. This applies to many of the access roads to the Eastern and
Southern parts of Moxico province and the Eastern part of Lunda Sul.
The main security risk in the country is for land mines. The country is
heavily mined in general and in some provinces in particular. This applies
especially to the Moxico province, where the mine risk will slow down the
return to home areas, the recovery in agriculture and the general
stabilisation of the population. Two de-mining agencies are working in the
province. LWF/DWS has an agreement with Mine Advisory Group (MAG) to carry
out de-mining in specific locations. In general the resources available to
the de-mining agencies are sadly inadequate in relation to the needs in
the province.
GOAL & OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the appeal of 19 December 2001 focused on the needs of
the vast displaced population and their settlement in IDP camps. At that
time a quick peaceful solution of the conflict in Angola was not foreseen.
When peace came after the death of the rebel leader, Savimbi, in February
2002, the changes have come rapidly. In view of the new needs, the
objectives had to be revised.
The main goal of the LWF/DWS program is now to provide immediate support
to a solid peace process by:
Providing assistance to the families of the demobilised soldiers and to
the destitute population in previously inaccessible areas
Providing peace building activities
Facilitating the return of the displaced population and refugees to home
areas and
Providing continued assistance to those who remain in displacement.
Objectives
To stabilise the peace by providing assistance to the families of
demobilised soldiers
To promote peace and reconciliation
To stabilize the situation of populations in critical need in previously
inaccessible areas
To facilitate the return of the displaced population
To facilitate the return of refugees from DRC and Zambia
To continue assistance to those who continue to be in settlements
To lower morbidity and mortality among mothers and children
To promote the healing process of traumatised children
TARGETED BENEFICIARIES
In this revised appeal the target population has changed. Since a part of
the displaced population is returning home, they are targeted as returnees
rather than settlers at IDP camps. But those who have fled recently and
are unable to go back home still need assistance in the IDP sites. In
addition the appeal targets those who have been assessed to be in critical
need in previously inaccessible areas and the families of demobilised
soldiers in the quartering areas.
In the quartering areas in Lunda Sul and Moxico provinces the number of
beneficiaries is expected to reach 30,000 people. Part of the special
assistance to the quartering areas will be financed outside this appeal.
WFP will provide food and non-food relief items that are donated by the US
Government and made available through the Organization for International
Migration (IOM). But the provision of water and sanitation as well as
activities for women and children and peace building efforts will be an
extension of the current LWF program.
Quartering areas are Chicala, where shallow wells will be dug for safe
drinking water, as well as distribution of non-food relief items to
supplement the WFP non-food distributions. Another quartering area is
Calala, near the border with Zambia as well as a camp near Cazombo, where
LWF and UNHCR carried out an assessment mission. This place cannot be
reached by road and it took the assessment team a week to be finally
picked up by an aeroplane. Lucusse, is another very difficult quatering
area to access. It finally obtained a security clearance by the UN on 13
July. In all these camps, LWF will distribute food on behalf of WFP, part
of non-food items on behalf of WFP as well as LWF purchased non-food items
to supplement the shortfall. KWF will implement water and sanitation
projects so that people will have access to clean drinking water.
In order to provide assistance to the returning IDP's and populations in
critical need, LWF/DWS will establish temporary offices in tents such as
in the area of Cameia. In two locations, Cazombo and Luau, offices will
be re- established for longer term use in view of the inflow of returning
refugees and the need of assistance and reintegration work for some years.
LWF used to have offices in these two areas, serving the repatriation of
refugees, but were forced to abandon the area when rebels kept breaking
the cease-fire. The buildings are still standing but need repairs and
refurbishing.
UNHCR is preparing to receive 40,000 refugees from neighbouring countries
in an initial phase and 40,000 later in 2002. Of the total of 80,000,
30,000 may arrive in Moxico province - one thousand have already returned
to the province. The relief items, whether food or non-food, for the
returning refugees are expected to be provided by UNHCR.
The original and revised target population and objectives are shown below:

Criteria used in beneficiary selection
The distribution of seeds and tools will be based on access to
agricultural land and the result of a sensitisation campaign of the
targeted beneficiaries. Only those who are willing to plant will receive
assistance.
Non-food relief items will be distributed to returning IDPs and needy
populations in return and other areas, based on assessment of their needs.
Assistance to remaining population in displacement will be provided in the
IDP settlements
Health measures will be primarily directed at children and women
The child project will benefit the children, who are staying in the recent
settlements, where the needs are most pronounced
The IDP's in the settlements that were erected during the past year will
be assisted in provision of water, improvement of sanitation, preventive
health measures and seeds and tools. Focus of the water and sanitation
program will, however, shift to areas of return.
The peace building activities will initially target the population in the
IDP settlements. But, the local churches will be supported to reach out to
the areas of return and the population as a whole.
Number of targeted beneficiaries according to proposed assistance
15,000 families will be assisted with non-food relief items and shelter
material
3,000 families will be provided with seeds and tools
13,000 families will receive cassava planting material
150 female heads of family will be assisted in building their houses
10,000 families will benefit from water and sanitation facilities
6,000 children will benefit from the child project
20,000 returnees and other needy people will be served through new
provisional LWF offices.
15,000 returning refugees, IDPs and resident populations will benefit from
the two offices to be opened at Cazombo and Luau, near the borders with
DRC and Zambia.
PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION
Distribution of non-food items
At the LWF/DWS settlement sites in Lunda Sul, it is estimated that 80 % or
30,000 of the current caseload will return to their home areas during the
coming year. The remaining 20% or 8,000 people will remain in the LWF/DWS
settlements. It is estimated that another 45,000 people will need
assistance outside the LWF/DWS settlements in Saurimo. Most of them are
living in the areas to which the displaced will return.
In Moxico province, it is estimated that 30 % or 15,000 persons will go
back to their home areas and the remaining 70 % or 35,000 people will
remain in the LWF/DWS IDP settlements. It is estimated that another
95,000 people need assistance both in the areas of return and in other
locations, where needs assessments have been or will be made.
Of the needy population of 180,000 who are either returning to home areas
or are in critical need in the return or other areas, this ACT appeal
targets 75,000 beneficiaries. Under a separate agreement with ECHO,
LWF/DWS distributes non-food items for 35,000 people and Medico
International has donated such items for 10,000.
Clothing, health kits, quilts and baby layettes, hopefully will be
provided by LWF/DWS related agencies as donated commodities. Kitchen
sets, blankets, buckets and soap will be procured by LWF/DWS. The target
population is 15,000 families.
Shelter rehabilitation and construction
Plastic sheeting will be procured and provided as shelter material as part
of the non-food items package for 15,000 families who are returning to
their home areas. Vulnerable female-headed families, who arrived in the
IDP settlements and who are unable to construct their own houses, will be
assisted by this project. During the assessments made in the home areas,
the need to establish community kitchens for children and adults who
suffer from malnutrition was also identified. For this purpose LWF/DWS
will collaborate with WFP, the Ministry of health and NGOs that provide
basic health services.
Distribution of seeds/tools, local seeds, and training
To facilitate the return of the displaced population, the most urgently
needed assistance is the support of food production. If the returnees find
that they cannot feed themselves, they may go back to the IDP camps. Also
those who arrived in bad shape in recent months to the IDP settlements
need support to be able to plant and produce their own food while waiting
for the possibility of returning home.
It is estimated that 29,000 families will need seeds and tools but most of
the needs will be covered by other funding: SON, Euronaid, the Dutch
Government and FAO. The ACT appeal includes the need of seeds and tools
for 3,000 families as well as cassava planting material for 13,000
families - because the Euronaid project does not include cassava, which is
the staple food in the region and the basis for food security. An Agric
pack contains 10kg of maize seeds, 2.5 kg of beans, 2.5 kg ground nuts, 20
grams of 4 vegetable varieties at 5 grams per variety. The tool pack
contains 2 head hoes, 1 axe, 1 machete and 1 file. LWF's overall targeted
beneficiaries for seeds and tools will be 29'000 families under different
components of which 3,000 families will be covered by this appeal.
Water and sanitation
The needs assessments have identified urgent needs in water and sanitation
both in the return areas and more in the settlement locations. Five
hydraulic ram-pump systems need rehabilitation. These systems are well
known to LWF/DWS and are very efficient, since one pump may serve 5,000
people and needs no other power than the one provided by the flow of the
river itself. There is also a need for 15 shallow wells with concrete ring
liners, produced on the spot. In areas where the geological formation is
not suitable for shallow wells, bore hole drilling will be necessary.
Arrangements with OXFAM have been made for a joint program in this field.
The wells or bore holes will be equipped with hand-pumps that are easy to
install and maintain. The water systems also need cement for casting
concrete liners on site and PVC pipes. Spare parts are needed for the
repair of pumps, previously installed by LWF/DWS at Cazombo and Luau.
The assessments also pointed to the need for sensitisation in sanitation
and hygiene. LWF/DWS will extend its preventive health work to return
areas and other locations in order to encourage the use of family latrines
and to inform about proper hygiene and treatment of food and water.Nguimbo
Primary Health Care
The LWF/DWS health co-ordinators together with social promoters will train
volunteers for community work in preventive health. This program includes
information and counselling on HIV/AIDS and other diseases. LWF/DWS will
work in collaboration with health authorities and NGOs that provide basic
health services.
Increased Field Presence
In order to facilitate the return movement and to assist the returnees and
returnee communities, LWF/DWS will establish satellite offices outside its
main operational base in Luena.
These provisional offices will have a skeleton staff to carry out needs
assessments, to liaise with local authorities, to carry out community work
and to provide assistance. Technical assistance in terms of agricultural
training and extension in support of the seeds and tools distribution
along with logistics will be part of the assistance. This staff will also
assist in identifying needs and priorities for recovery and future
development.
Establishment of Offices in Luao and Cazombo
Before the outbreak of war in 1998 LWF/DWS was operating from these
offices assisting repatriation of refugees. The primary purpose of
re-establishing these offices again is to support the reception of
refugees as well as for the provision of assistance both to refugees, IDPs
and local population in critical need and for liaison with the local
authorities and UNHCR. From the Cazombo office LWF/DWS will also assist
families of rebel soldiers, who are quartered in the nearby camp of
Calala. Vegetable seeds will be distributed already in June-July 2002.
UNHCR is expected to provide non-food items and other assistance material
for the returnees. These offices will also be the basis for reintegration
and rehabilitation work LWF/DWS is planning to carry out in coming years.
As these buildings have been empty for quite a few years, repairs will be
needed, as well as furniture as all was looted. Two generators will be
needed so that electricity will be provided to run the offices.
Children's Project
Particularly during the past year many displaced children were separated
from their families. Many orphans arrived to the IDP settlements. Together
with the local churches and Save the Children*UK, LWF/DWS has sought
solutions in caring for these children. In view of their traumatic
experiences activities were started to mitigate the consequences through
play and sport. These activities will continue and be complemented by
training of community volunteers in dealing with traumatised children.
Peace Building
In connection with the cease-fire agreement, it was underlined by both
parties that the cease-fire is not peace and that there is a need for
peace building and reconciliation.
LWF/DWS started in April 2002 in collaboration with the Centre for Common
Ground to work with the local churches and the IDP communities in peaceful
conflict resolution. This will be continued and reinforced by support from
the Inter Church Peace Committee (COIEPA) for the pastoral work in the
churches for reconciliation. Two theatre groups will also work with this
subject. Community volunteers will be trained to carry out other
promotional activities in the communities and peace messages via local
radio will follow. The peace building will further include monitoring and
training of human rights counsellors in the churches.
Implementation
Personnel: The Luanda Office will be reinforced with a Program
Co-ordinator and a secondment of an Emergency Co-ordinator from
DanChurchAid for monitoring and reporting.
LWF/DWS has very experienced and dedicated staff at the project sites, who
have been capable of rapidly expanding the scope of the IDP program from
three IDP camps inside the towns of Luena and Saurimo to 15 settlements
within a radius of 25 km from those cities. The activities for returnees
and others in need outside the cities will continue to be directed from
Luena and Saurimo.
Logistics will be much more complicated with the activities now extending
far beyond Luena and Saurimo to a number of places in connection with the
return of displaced and refugees and the assistance to hitherto
inaccessible areas. The logistics staff has to be reinforced. Logistics
assistants will be attached to the offices in Luena and Saurimo and to the
new offices. Luanda will recruit a transport officer for the maintenance
of the LWF/DWS vehicles. The staff who carry out the distribution of
relief items are also community workers and carry the title of "social
promoters". Some of them are especially involved in the child and health
projects and will get more training.
The health co-ordinator and health promoter are training the volunteers in
the communities and directing the preventive health work.
Site co-ordinators, initially supported by a minimal number of staff, will
head the new offices in Luao, Cazomo. They will report to the program
co-ordinator in Luanda.
The LWF/DWS office in Luanda will provide support in matters of logistics
and administrative and financial services to the project sites.
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. The challenge is to meet vastly increased logistical
needs in a situation when assistance has to be provided considerable
distances from Luena and Saurimo. The immediate task is to assist 20,000
family members of rebel soldiers in quartering areas that in some cases
are distant from the LWF/DWS offices. From July a major operation is
needed to distribute both seeds and tools and non-food relief items for
several months to many locations in the two provinces. Not only transports
of great volumes of cargo are required, but there is also need for
additional staff, particularly for the preparation of the return movements
and support in relation to the preparations of the planting season.
Project support and Transportation requirement: For the increased
transports needs, additional trucks will need to be hired. With roads just
opening up in the provinces and fuel being scarce, rental rates are high.
The LWF/DWS offices in the provinces will have to rent additional 4x4
vehicles to transport staff and to monitor the distribution of the
commodities. In view of ongoing security concerns, radios are mandatory in
each vehicle and hand-held radios are necessary for local communications.
Under the original appeal not enough funds were available for hand-held
radios. It is felt that staff need to be in constant contact with the base
for their own safety.
In order to manage the increasing volumes of road transport, spare parts,
maintenance and repairs a transport officer will taken on to reinforce the
programme.
The logistics co-ordinator and assistant logistics officer will only be
partly funded under the appeal and the remainder will be funded by other
projects.
Procurement: Procurement will be done regionally, as the required items
are either not available in Angola or are of poor quality or uncompetitive
in price. The ACT procurement policy will be followed. International
transport line items in the budget are for bringing the purchased non-food
items into Angola.
Provision and Implementation of Assistance: Angola is the only country,
where law regulates return and resettlement of displaced people. This
achievement was reached after an NGO initiative and joint efforts by the
UN. A training of 160 Government employees, mostly at provincial level,
and UN staff took place during the first week of June 2002. On the basis
of the standards, provided in the decree, national and provincial plans
for the return of IDPs will be elaborated during the month of June. The
LWF/DWS assistance at IDP sites and return areas will, of course, also be
based on the Government standards.
The LWF/DWS project activities will be carried-out by local staff who live
in the area and have a thorough knowledge of the situation and know the
people in terms of culture, beliefs, tradition and other norms. A
participatory and community based approach is the basis for the LWF/DWS
overall strategy and IDP's themselves are partners in this endeavour.
Other Projects: The resettlement and return movements will also be
supported by provision of seeds and tools and other agricultural
implements from EURONAID, the Dutch Government and FAO. Some agricultural
needs will be purchased under the ongoing LWF/DWS recovery programs for
Moxico and Lunda Sul provinces. Non-food relief items will also be funded
or provided by ECHO and Medico International in addition to the current
ACT appeal.
Extension work and multiplication of seeds within LWF/DWS ongoing projects
will complement this appeal. These projects also support the promotion of
peace and reconciliation and human rights, environmental protection,
activities in education, mine awareness building and capacity building of
local partners.
ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING
Administration
The overall responsibility of the project lies with the Country
Representative based in Luanda who will regularly visit the project sites.
The site co-ordinators are responsible for the implementation under the
supervision of the Program Co-ordinator in Luanda
The regional relief co-ordinator will be responsible for the programs for
the return and repatriation of displaced people and refugees. This aspect
may become increasingly important during the rest of the year.
Finance
The field offices will be reinforced with staff for accounting and
assisting with monthly finance reports. Luanda finance personnel will make
regular visits to the field offices for training and monitoring.
Monitoring
The field co-ordinators will compile monthly progress reports. Regular
statistics on the displaced population, return movements and assistance
rendered will be provided.
Co-ordination meetings are held bi-monthly with the project and assistant
co-ordinators. The Program Co-ordinator will regularly visit the field
activities.
Interim reports will be submitted to ACT every three months and final
reports at the end of the project.
IMPLEMENTATION TIMETABLE
The implementation of this project started in the beginning of this year.
The bulk of activities will take place during the remaining 6 months of
2002. The activities will focus on the revised objectives.
COORDINATION
LWF/DWS collaborates closely with the Inter-Church Peace Committee
(COIEPA), the Christian Council, the Evangelical Alliance and the
Ecumenical Agency for Social Development (AEDSA). It has a particularly
close partnership with the ACT members IELA and YMCA.
LWF/DWS will extend its partnership to local churches in the provinces and
will work closely with the community committees at the IDP camps,
traditional chiefs and authorities in the home areas. Community leaders
serve as focal groups in the implementation of the various activities.
LWF/DWS also works in close co-ordination with the Provincial Government
and the UN-agencies at provincial level. This co-ordination is to ensure
that relief assistance is provided where and when it is most needed and to
avoid duplication. The Governor or Vice Governor for Social Affairs heads
the provincial humanitarian group, in which LWF/DWS is an active member.
At Luanda level, major NGO's have a weekly meeting with OCHA to
co-ordinate activities, review the situation, share information and
discuss new initiatives.
LWF/DWS will also continue the collaboration with international NGO's, in
particular with MAG, Medico International, Oxfam, MSF, GOAL, JRS, Caritas,
MEDAIR, AHA, Save the Children, the Dom Bosco Catholic Mission and the
local NGO's AJATERRA, AMMIGA, CAPDC, Mother Teresa Foundation and FAN.
LWF/DWS plays an active part in the NGO co-ordination umbrella CONGA.
Clearing of mines is a pre- condition for extending LWF/DWS assistance to
many areas in the Moxico province. With funding from FINCHURCHAID, LWF/DWS
has established a working relationship with the Mine Advisory Group (MAG)
for the de-mining of areas, which have been agreed between MAG and
LWF/DWS.
In the UN family LWF/DWS has particularly close collaboration with OCHA,
UNHCR, WFP, FAO, ONUA Human Rights Division and WHO. The European Union
has also provided invaluable support particularly through ECHO and
Euronaid. The Dutch Government has provided direct support to LWF/DWS.

REQUESTING ACT MEMBER INFORMATION
Igreja Evangelica Reformada de Angola (IERA)
IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER & PARTNER INFORMATION
The Evangelical Reformed Church of Angola formerly known as Igreja
Evangélica Reformada de Angola (IERA) was founded in Kikaya Uige in 1922.
IERA operates in 12 of the country's 18 provinces and has been involved in
35 emergency and rehabilitation projects over the past 11 years.
The Head office is located in Luanda and has 12 departments - one of which
is the Department of Projects and Development which has the responsibility
of implementing emergency and development programmes.
The Social Department has three regional offices in Uige, Kwanza-Sul and
in Malange. It is also active in other provinces such as Kwanza-Norte,
Moxico, Zaire and Luanda.
DESCRIPTION of the EMERGENCY SITUATION
The original IERA component of AFA0-21 appeal was drawn up to deal with
IDP populations living in camps and in the cities. However, following the
death of Jonas Savimbi the rebel leader, the picture changed dramatically
with previously inaccessible areas opening up and the majority of people
deciding to return to their areas of origin in order to rebuild their
lives. Some are returning spontaneously while others are waiting for the
government resettlement programme.
The people who have been living under UNITA control for a long time have
never received any support from humanitarian agencies and they are still
living in lamentable conditions, urgently needing life saving assistance.
In order to assist these people, the Office for Co-ordination of
Humanitarian Assistance (OCHA) has undertaken assessment in 38 locations
to ascertain the most urgent needs.
In this new scenario, about 50,000 UNITA soldiers have been demobilised
and are currently living in quartering areas along with their families.
Around 300,000 soldiers' families and a further four million displaced are
to be resettled in their areas of origin necessitating the government, UN
agencies and NGOs to make a rapid needs assessment in 26 of the 38
locations previously planned. This assessment was carried out on 30 April
(2002) with IERA taking part in the evaluation in Puri Municipality in
Uige Province. The preliminary results of this assessment were that that
the most urgently needed assistance consisted of food and non food items
along with health services.
There are a further 300,000 refugees in neighbouring countries who also
want to return to their homes areas in Liberia as they are currently
living in deplorable conditions in the DRC, Zambia and Namibia.
In the original appeal IERA had targeted 9,000 families for assistance but
now, due to an increase in those wishing to resettle in their areas of
origin, IERA proposes assisting 7,000 families in Uige, Malange and
Kwanza-Sul provinces. The main reason for reducing the numbers of
beneficiaries is to ensure capacity for efficient assistance. The main
activities to be carried out will remain the same but there will be an
increase in assistance to the displaced in Maquela do Zombo and Ikoka in
Uige Province with peace building and reconciliation programmes in the
villages where the IDPs will be integrated.
IERA's priority assistance will be distribution of basic life preserving
food and non-food items along with rehabilitation projects. Due to the
vast distances involved in the project areas logistics and qualified
personnel will increase and will be reflected in the budget.
The population in the quartering areas in Uige (Wamba, Sanza-Pombo and
Quimbele), Malange (Vulangombe, Carianga) and in Kwanza-Sul (Quirimbo) are
arriving in a state of starvation. There is no primary health care and
consequently there is an increase in mortality rates.
Besides the beneficiaries mentioned above, there are also refugees
returning spontaneously from the DRC, entering through Uige and Moxico.
This population will also benefit from this project in terms of
rehabilitation of infrastructure in the villages where they will be
living.
The IERA office in Uige will co-ordinate the activities of the three
sub-offices Maquela do Zombo, Sanza-Pombo and Quimbele (215 km, 180 km and
220 km, respectively, from Uige city). The office in Malange will provide
daily assistance to the staff in the area of Vulangombe and Carianga (25
km from Malange city). In Kwanza-Sul the office of Porto Amboim will
co-ordinate the activities of Quilenda, Quirimbo (100-110 km from Porto
Amboim city) where a small office will be opened.
In order to co-ordinate all the activities a national communication system
will be set up and reflected in the budget.
Assistance provided since the issue of the original AFAO-21 Appeal
Since December 2001 the IERA component of the appeal has received only US$
48,800 which has been used in the following sectors:
Health: Medicines were bought locally and distributed to three health
centres in Uige * Kikaya, Candombe and Piscina assisting about 8,000
people for 3 months.
Non-food Items: Clothing and soap was also bought and distributed to 500
families. In partnership with LWF through an ECHO project IERA
distributed blankets, soap, buckets, salt and plastic sheeting to 5,200
families.
Rehabilitation of Infra-structures: building materials were bought and
two schools were built in Uige and Negage. These schools will benefit
about 800 children under fives years old.
Basically, the projects proposed by IERA received only 5% funding which
means that many activities planned could not be accomplished. Now there
is a peace process IERA is proposing assistance to people in their areas
of origin and concentrating the assistance on a reduced number of
beneficiaries.
Current Situation
Food availability: the population arriving from the bush are starving.
For instance at Sanza-Pombo in Uige Province an IERA project officer
reported that some children were dying of hunger.
Health: There are no health facilities in the areas of Sanza-Pombo,
Quimbele, Carianga and Vulamgombe. Consequently, there is a high
percentage of deaths among the returnees. According to the information
received from a local administrator in Sanza-Pombo, a large number of
people are dying through lack of medical assistance. It was also noticed
that there were a large number of young females of 16 * 17 years of age
who already had 3 or 4 children. It is not known if they were forced into
this situation, or whether the situation in which they were living was
fertile for this behaviour.
Domestic Utensils: * in Sanza-Pombo women were seen queuing up in order to
cook in a milk can. People here totally lack the basic items such as
clothes, blankets, cooking utensils, water buckets, soap, etc.
Agriculture: Although the population are farmers they have lost the
majority of their farming tools during the time they were displaced,
fleeing from one place to another. Now they would like to restart their
agricultural activities * the IERA assessment team saw some families in
Sanza-Pombo with very old machettes and hoes. When questioned about what
they would like to do, they replied that agriculture is their life and
they want to get restarted.
Infra-structures - 90% of the social and economic infra-structures have
been destroyed.
Peace and Reconciliation: Most of the people suffer some sort of
psychological trauma and need assistance in coming to terms with events
and adapting to a new future.
Locations of Proposed Response
IERA proposes assistance in their traditional areas of work : Uige,
Malange and Kwanza-Sul. The reason for continuing the support in these
areas is that the community knows IERA and has confidence in their work
supporting the more vulnerable members of the population. Furthermore,
IERA already has the capacity to carry out implementation in these areas.

The assistance will benefit 7,000 families located in 8 locations in three
provinces. The goods will be transported using rented trucks.
Description of Current Security Situation
With the signature of the cease-fire agreement between the government and
the UNITA soldiers after the death of Jonas Savimbi, security around the
country has improved considerably. Presently there is free circulation of
people and goods, with people being able to travel during the day and the
night.
However, roads are not in good condition and many bridges have been
destroyed. In some areas goods have to be shipped by Jaganda - a
traditional boat.
Landmines remain a big problem, consequently, those restarting
agricultural activities will need to ensure that they have land free of
landmines.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
In addition to the objectives in the original appeal the following are to
be accomplished:
Provision of non food items to 7,000 families in Uige, Malange amd
Kwanza-Sul - those recently returning from the bush, those still living in
the bush and families of former UNITA soldiers.
Provide health services to the relatives of the UNITA soldiers at the
Wamba Ccamp in Sanza-Pombo Municipality Uige Province
10 training seminars for peace and reconciliation counsellors

To provide training for women - sewing activities
To train communities on the procedures of community development
Organisation of sports activities among the villages where ex-soldiers and
their families will be integrated
Provision of land, tools and seeds to IDPs, returnees from DRC, ex
soldiers and their relatives.
To promote family planning activities in the eight health centres to be
created in this project.
WatSan training and information meetings.
To build and rehabilitate eight schools and eight health centres of 123 m2
In partnership with OCHA distribute non food items to 4,000 families in
Sanza-Pombo.
Provision of tools and seeds to 5,200 families in partnership with FAO
To prepare medium and long term development programmes in favour of the
displaced, ex-soldiers and returnees.
Distribution of local seeds, such as manioc, to the beneficiaries
To encourage beneficiaries to retain seeds after harvesting for the next
season
TARGETED BENEFICIARIES
IERA has identified 7,000 families in 8 sites located in three provinces
namely: Uige, Malange and Kwanza-Sul - traditional IERA work areas since
1991. The beneficiaries are mostly farmers, although among them are
teachers, nurses, brick layers, carpenters, etc.
Monitoring Indicators and Criteria of Measurement of the Project
The IERA monitoring will follow the following indicators to ascertain the
efficacity of the programme.
Number of persons assisted with NFI
Schools and health posts constructed and rebuilt
Population involved in agricultural activities
Population assisted by the health facilities
Number of persons trained in family planning and HIV/AIDS awareness
Number of peace and reconciliation sessions done
Number of counsellors trained on peace and reconciliation
Number of returnees and ex-soldier families with land
Number of houses with improved roofing
Number of families with seed available for next planting season
Number of training seasons on agricultural
Number of children with access to formal education
Availability of food
Reduction of untimely deaths
Number of sessions on health education carried out
Number of population informed about HIV/AIDS and landmines
Criteria for Selection of Beneficiaries:
All the beneficiaries are the most vulnerable who lack the basic items for
survival: ex-soldiers relatives, returnees and displaced coming from the
bush. The local authorities, Minars, and the villages elders will be
working in close co-operation with IERA staff for distribution of the NFI.
These criteria will ensure that those persons who have been living in the
city centre for some years and have already received assistance will not
be included.
PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION
Food Distribution: IERA in partnership with WFP and other NGOs will
distribute monthly rations to the beneficiaries during the first three
months of their resettlement.
Relief Goods Distribution: The majority of the population returning from
the bush have lost all their possessions * hence the scene of the women
queuing to boil milk in a single can. Basic domestic utensils will be
distributed.
Blankets, cooking sets, soap, plastic sheeting (to improve the grass
roofing), buckets and clothing will be distributed. It is expected that
each beneficiary will receive two blankets, a cooking set, two buckets,
two bars of soap, six metres of plastic sheeting, and four kilos of
clothing. IERA will take into consideration the number of adults in a
family as a criteria for distribution of these NFI.
Health Assistance : Populations returning from the bush are mostly sick
and need rapid medical assistance * there are many cases where people die
before they reach their destination. Malaria, diarrhoea, respiratory
diseases, TB and sleeping sickness are the most prevalent and fatal
diseases. There is an urgent need for primary health care services along
with health and prevention programmes.
IERA aims to create eight health posts in the Sanza-Pombo, Quimbele,
Macocola, Negage, Uige, Quirimbo, Porto Amboim and Kuilu *Futa one in each
location that will be capable of providing treatment for at least 30
patients a day. It is also planned, in co-operation with the health
authorities, to carry out at least two training sessions for midwives.
Resettlement of beneficiaries: IERA, in partnership with donors and other
agencies, will participate in the resettlement of displaced populations to
their areas of origin. This resettlement will be followed by distribution
of NFI and community development programmes. The government organised a
workshop in Luanda 3-5 June 2002 in order to set up national resettlement
programmes. During this workshop the government requested the assistance
of national and international humanitarian agencies.
Rehabilitation and construction of 8 schools and 8 health centres: due to
the increase in the number of residents in the project area and taking
into account that all infra-structure has been destroyed, IERA will
rehabilitate/construct 8 schools and health centres. This will provide
education to around 8,000 children and health services to around 80,800
persons. Communities will be involved in these activities by assisting
with the labour and providing brick layers and carpenters.
Peace and Reconciliation: Taking into consideration all the anger,
frustration and nefarious results caused by war, priority should be given
to peace and reconciliation programmes - all the IERA pastors and parishes
will be fully involved. The UNHCR is also interested in working with the
churches in this field especially with Angolan returnees from Zambia,
Congo Brazzaville and DRC.
Vocational & Income Generating Projects: Vocational training and income
generating projects - specifically agricultural activities, are essential
for the integration of the majority of ex-soldiers. These activities will
be planned for medium and long term. Consultants/experts from other
countries who have experience of similar situations will be invited to
work with IERA. IERA plans to establish four vocational training centres
in Uige - in Kikaya,in Negage, Sanza-Pom and in Kimebele.
Agriculture Programme: The beneficiaries of the project are traditionally
farmers who will receive tools and seeds to assist with their recovery of
agricultural activities. Returnees and ex-soldiers will also benefit from
these materials and land will be distributed to them in co-operation with
the traditional leaders of the villages. It is expected that each family
can plough 1-1.5 hectares of land with manioc, maize, beans and
vegetables. It is also expected that the population will receive training
on how to improve production and better use their produce for food and for
sale in order to generate income. The population will be encouraged to
contribute with three kilos of seeds to be distributed to the vulnerable
families for the next season or to their families. Rural animators will
be responsible for following the work of the farmers and counselling.
Women's Programme: Family planning orientation to women will be a major
priority. Currently, there is a lack of such planning and the mortality
rate of newly born babies and pregnant women is high. The family planning
sessions will be carried out taking into consideration cultural
sensitivities. Furthermore, HIV/AIDS information sessions will be carried
out by the health promoters in the camps, villages and in the IDP/refugee
transition camps. Health workers will also carry out nutrition programmes
in the camps and villages where most needed.
Literacy projects will also be integrated in this programme as 90% of the
population in Angola are illiterate (the highest percentage being women).
Finally, tailoring courses will be integrated into the programme as a
pilot project for income generation and leading to creation of women's
co-operatives.
Implementation
The following will be carried out in the course of implementation:
Increase the recruitment of qualified staff able to carry out effective
monitoring and provide reports that comply with the ACT standard. Thus an
expatriate is expected to be hired for this project to support the work of
the staff in the field as well as the training.
Set up a yearly implementation programme supported by monthly
sub-programmes in each location - to be implemented by the local
co-ordinator.
The communities will be fully involved in the activities and will provide
promoters, counsellors, brick layers, general labourers, etc.
Co-ordination with other humanitarian agencies working in the area as well
as with churches and OCHA
Set up a UHF communication system that will enable IERA to co-ordinate all
the logistics activities as well as the daily work.
Close co-operation with central, provincial and municipal government
authorities for more effective implementation of the project as well as
receiving institutional support - from Minars, Ministry of Health and from
Ministry of Agriculture.
To make progress reports every three months to be submitted to donors and
to local authorities.
Set up a programme for the sustainability of the project
A mid-term evaluation will be carried out followed by a final evaluation
at the end of the project. IERA staff will take part in the mid-term
evaluation, while external participants will take part in the final
evaluation.
Procurement of Goods
The procurement of the goods will be carried out by donors through their
Material Aid Departments. Normally IERA requests support from WEM and
DIFAM in Germany as well as from the Material Aid Department of Dan Church
Aid in Copenhagen. The building material will be purchased locally from
traditional IERA suppliers.
Transportation
Goods will be transported by road from Luanda to the project sites but in
the case of urgent issues WFP will be requested to ship some goods free of
charge. It expected that 70% of the goods be transported by road and only
30% by air. For this purpose IERA will hire private trucks.
ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING
Administration
The IERA Director of Projects and Development in Luanda has overall
responsibility for the programme. The Project Co-ordinator will be
responsible for implementing the project in the field as well as
collection of data and progress reports. These co-ordinators will be under
the supervision of the General Co-ordinator, an expatriate who will make
regular field visits.
Finance
All the financial transactions will be carried out under the supervision
of the President of the Church and the Financial Director.
The money will be kept in a recently opened, separate bank account
belonging to the Projects & Development Department. The management of the
funds will be done in the financial sector of the Projects and Development
Department.
Monitoring
The monitoring will be carried out by the Projects and Development
Department. Follow-up will be based on the results of this monitoring.

provided by IERA Projects and Development Department.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
January 2002 - December 2002.
CO-ORDINATION
There will be continuous co-ordination with Government authorities, OCHA
and NGOs at National and Provincial level. The co-ordination will be based
on institutional matters and technical assistance. There will be close
co-operation with those NGOs and churches working in the same project
area.
IERA will also co-operate with AEDSA and LWF - members of ACT network in
terms of evaluations and exchange of experiences, by making bilateral
visits to the project fields. In the project sites there will be close
co-ordination of activities with the village elders, the community and the
IERA staff. This co-ordination will increase the responsibility of the
communities emphasising that they have ownership of the project.
IERA will also co-ordinate with the UNHCR in the Peace and Reconciliation
programme for the returnees from Angola and DRC. UNICEF and IERA will
also collaborate over the child care and education programme.

Note for the Budget
Primary Health care: Seven Medical kits will be needed for the eight
health care facilities, each of which will treat around 10,600 people a
year. During the twelve months the health services will be under the
project management and will then be handed over to the government who will
then be responsible for staff and for medical supplies. Equipment will be
needed in order to provide health assistance.
Capital equipment: All three locations will need one vehicle and a
10-tonne truck for transportation of relief goods and building materials.
This truck will also be used for long term development programmes.
Communication equipment for logistics and co-ordination as well as office
equipment such as tables and computers will be purchased.
Increase of field presence - three offices: Besides the three main offices
in the field three more sub-offices will be open-in Sanza-Pombo, Maquela
do Zombo and in Quimbele. While the majority of infra-structures were
destroyed premises will need to be rehabilitated for the staff. Local
staff will also be recruited for the twelve months.
Children's Project: an area for various sports activities will be
encouraged in the eight locations. The main objectives of these activities
will be to re-enforce the trust among the children from ex-Unita soldiers,
the returnees and the residents.
Peace and Reconciliation: Training sessions will given to facilitate the
creation of a team of human rights advisors and conflict resolutions
counsellors. Related staff for this programme will be recruited and
material will be published. Churches and local community based
organisations will be encouraged to participate to this programme.
Transport, storage, warehouse and handling: As the goods will be purchased
from overseas countries, included in the budget are all the expenses
related to these costs and the costs related to the staff.
As explained above the goods will be shipped by road and 30% by air thus a
small amount has been included in the budget for this purpose.
Personnel ,Administration, Operations and Support: the budget is divided
in two parts: IERA contribution and donors contribution. The contribution
of IERA comes from ICCO institutional support project.
Audit and Evaluation: All IERA projects are audited and last year it was
decided that all the IERA projects should also be evaluated.
