Angola is one of Africa’s major oil producers.

Yet its development is held back by the political, social and physical disruption of a 27-year civil war that ravaged the country after independence from Portugal in 1975.

Our involvement in Angola has been as part of a Southern Africa programme to resist and adapt to climate change.
