|
Angola's high growth rate is driven by its oil sector, with record oil prices and rising petroleum production. Oil production and its supporting activities contribute about 85% of GDP. Increased oil production supported growth averaging more than 15% per year from 2004 to 2007. A post-war reconstruction boom and resettlement of displaced persons has led to high rates of growth in construction and agriculture as well. Much of the country's infrastructure is still damaged or undeveloped from the 27-year-long civil war. In 2005, the government started using a $2 billion line of credit from China to rebuild Angola's public infrastructure, and several large-scale projects were completed during 2006-2007. The central bank implemented an exchange rate stabilization program that became more sustainable in 2005 because of strong oil export earnings and has significantly reduced inflation. Although consumer inflation declined from 325% in 2000 to under 13% in 2007, the stabilization policy has put pressure on international net liquidity. Angola became a member of OPEC in late 2006 and in late 2007 was assigned a production quota of 1.9 million barrels a day. To fully take advantage of its rich national resources - gold, diamonds, extensive forests, Atlantic fisheries, and large oil deposits - Angola will need to implement government reforms ,and to increase transparency. Summary on progress towards UNDAF outcomes
The UNDAF had been prepared in 2004, under quite difficult circumstances, so the factual basis for much of the analysis was flawed. But there was still a concern at the lack of realism that seemed to have gone into the preparation of the UNDAF. One thing was the lack of ownership and leadership by the GOA in defining priorities and activities. The expectations concerning what the GOA wanted to do and was capable of doing were exaggerated. But the UN agencies themselves had not been very realistic about what could be achieved. The expectations regarding the resources the donors were willing to make available turned out to be much too optimistic.
Changes had taken place in Angola since the UNDAF was originally written. The Government is seen as more committed to the development agenda. The armed conflict is over. This enabled GOA to shift financial and human resources away from defence and security, but also had changed an overarching mood and mind-set towards longer-term concerns. There is more interest among government officials at looking at experiences from elsewhere when thinking about addressing own problems, which also signalled a shift.
Mid-term review of UNDAF 2005-2008 carried out a proposal for a revised UNDAF document, including a revised Results Matrix and a revised Monitoring and Evaluation Framework with key indicators, baseline and sources of data to monitor progress. The Results Matrix ended up with 15 CP Outcomes and 75 Outputs. Instead of listing Partners for each Output, they were listed by Outcome, since this was a more realistic and operational grouping. The intention here was that these groupings would in fact represent partnerships committed to the various Outcomes. It also represented a significant simplification of the Matrix which could make it more operational. The most significant change, however, was the reformulation of Outputs, to make them more specific and monitorable, but also more realistic and in line with hat UN agencies were in fact delivering. Furthermore, there was a ?strategic structure? to the Outputs listing, first giving those that related to overarching issues such as policy and capacity development, and then moving down to more specific results. The financial information that was finally listed in the matrix was incomplete. The M&E Matrixes were similarly simplified. As a rule of thumb, there was an attempt to have at most five Indicators for each Outcome, though in some of the more complex issues-especially in the social sectors-more indicators were used. The final matrices, including the alternatives, listed 63 Indicators for the 14 Outcomes, down from 90 Indicators in the original matrices. The Means of Verification and the Risks and Assumptions were also reworked to be more Outcomes specific, detailed and realistic, in the sense that managers could be expected to track these dimensions and take action to address emerging problems. Regarding the Baseline information, agencies produced a number of ?best estimates? for a number of them, which increased the number of baselines considerably.
As lesson learnt, it is important to mention ownership and leadership as key factors. The involvement, role and eventual commitment to the UNDAF by national authorities in different sectors and levels are critical for successful programme implementation but also for the UNDAF to become a useful instrument for dialogue and results reporting. Summary on progress in UN Reform
3.1-Efforts to align the national development processes
UNCT conducted the mid-term review of the UNDAF in 2007 with the help of a Scanteam Consultant and facilitated the work of the relevant Theme Groups to assess the current development situation in the country. The RCO chaired the UNDAF Task Force Working Group and ensured that the relevant Theme Groups were put in place and active to conduct the continuous monitoring and evaluation, the mid-term and the final review of UNDAF. The Strategic Planning workshop to agree on the priorities for the next UNDAF [2009 – 2013] is still pending of decision from the Ministry of Planning.
3.2-Millennium Development Goals
The recent trend shows that most of the Millennium Development Goals are within reach in Angola. Moreover, the country has the financial means to achieve them. The GOA is strongly committed to improve the MDG framework to accelerate the progress towards and to achieve the MDGs. The production of MDG reports (MDGRs) conducted by the MDG-Technical Group is part of that effort to enhance the national MDG framework. Angola has already produced two MDG reports, in 2003 and 2005. Another MDGR is planned for 2007, especially to assess how the tremendous economic and social performance of the last three years translates into accelerated progress towards the MDGs. In 2007 the entire UN week was dedicated to MDGs. “Private sector paper in poverty reduction” was agreed upon as a common MDG Slogan. MDG visibility campaign was organized throughout the country with strong leadership and funding of the GOA and civil society. Sessions on MDGs for university students in Luanda were conducted. Angolan celebrities and UN goodwill Ambassador participated actively.
3.3- HIV/AIDS
The UNTG on HIV/AIDS meet regularly during 2007 to provide technical assistance to the implementation of the National HIV/AIDS programme and to facilitate the coordination among all partners involved in this field. Among the most relevant outcomes for this year is the UN Joint Team Retreat realised in July where the participants reviewed different aspects of their work and made relevant recommendations. In the province of Cunene, improvement was noticed this year through implementation of strategies targeting high-risk groups / geographic areas and greater adherence to antiretroviral treatment. The World AIDS Day 2007 celebrated under GOA leadership through ANASO allowed to expand HIV testing and counselling as entry point to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care.
3.4- Capacity Development and Aid Effectiveness
The UN Resident Coordinator Office (RCO) organised regular donor meetings to provide the UNCT agencies with an opportunity to share the information about their programmes with the donors and to receive relevant inputs and comments. The donors, in turn, have been fully briefed at those meetings about the activities of the RCO and the UN agencies and their respective contribution to the UNDAF implementation in Angola.
3.5- Joint programmes
As part of the Common Country Programming Process, the RCO facilitated the process of harmonization of individual agency programme(s) in a way that they eventually transform into joint programmes in the areas with sufficient complementarities.
3.6- HACT
Important steps for HACT implementation have been completed in 2007. The Ministry of Planning has been briefed on HACT and Paris Declaration. UNDP Country Director Operations has been designated HACT Country focal point by UNCT and HACT Task Force has been constituted. GOA and UN staffs in seven provinces have been oriented on the new framework in October-November 2007. The macro-assessment has been finalised towards the end of the year.
3.7- Staff
Due to lack of funds, UN Country Team decided to close the Resident Coordinator field offices in Uige, Benguela, Huila and Huambo in July 2007. The contract of the International Chief of RC Unit at ALD4 level has not been renewed in November for the same reason.
Regarding the UN common services, Operation Management Team (OMT) signed an agreement with Banco de Fomento (BFA) for UN financial transactions. Also, partial renovations to the UN building mainly at building entrance, first and second floors have been done.
In October 2007, WHO experts from AFRO evaluated the working conditions of the UN clinics and the medical facilities in Luanda.
Two staffs from National Institute of Statistics attended Emergency Info training course in Maputo in September 2007.
UN DevInfo focal point attended DevInfo Thematic User Training “Use of DevInfo for Strategic Decision Making” for UNDAF rollout Countries in Turin in October 2007.
Two HACT Task Force members participated to a TOT Workshop in Johannesburg in December 2007. Key aspects of the proposed 2008 workplan
The UNCT in Angola will continue with the initiated the preparations for the new Common Country Programming Cycle (2009-2013). This yea r is therefore of utmost importance for further fine-tuning the activities of the UN system in line with the relevant government priorities and the corresponding MDGs.
The UNCT will facilitate the work of the relevant Theme Groups to assess the current development situation in the country and will hold the Strategic Planning workshop to agree on the priorities for the next UNDAF [2009 – 2013]. For this purpose the RCO will hire a consultant to support the next steps leading to the preparation of the next UNDAF with support of UNDGO, Staff College, QSA and RDT. Funds for this temporary assignment have been provided by RDT-Johannesburg.
The UNCT will make sure that the entire process of the Common Country Programming is participatory and includes the non-resident agencies, the government, the civil society (including the NGOs and the academia) and possibly business partners.
The UNCT will be available to play its role as UN for the coming legislative elections in Angola by advising and supporting the National Commission for Elections (CNE) in its work to deliver credible and fair elections compatible with international standards.
Also UNCT will support the task of establishing and expanding the capabilities of the GOA and civil society in the development and production of information on civic education campaigns directed at voters, candidates and political entities to advise Angolan on how to exercise their political rights in the electoral process.
The UNCT will facilitate the process of harmonization of individual agency programme(s) in a way that they eventually transform into joint programmes in the areas with sufficient complementarities. Regular UN Country Team meetings will be held to support the activities under this pillar.
The UNCT will coordinate the inflow of donor aid and facilitate the dialogue between the UN agencies and the donors on the implementation of the Paris Declaration at the country level. The UNDAF will be increasingly used as the UN operational development strategy for Angola.
The UNCT will support the Government to consolidate and update information management system, socio-economic data and to undertake national surveys.
Optimal use of country public financial management system will be achieved through the implementation of the harmonized approach to cash transfers (HACT). The UNCT will make sure that greater use of common arrangements and procedures among the UN agencies will become possible through the strengthening of the Operations Management Team.
For a successful and sustainable support at low cost to the UNCT in Angola, the UN Resident Coordinator Office needs to be strengthened with a minimal structure as following: One Head of Office NOD, one Coordination Specialist – UNDAF – Human Development Reports NOC, one Coordination Specialist – Development Info/MDG – NOC, one Coordination/Finance Associate GS6 and one Driver GS3.
Recommendations
The five year Government development plan coincides with the UNDAF period. Due to delay on compilation of data, the Ministry of Planning estimates the alignment exercise of next UNDAF with national priorities will be possible around April/Mai 2008.. Therefore, Excom Agencies in Angola will request their respective Headquarters the authorization of Country Programme Documents submission to Executive Boards in September 2008.
RC Office limited budget affected negatively staffing and quality work last year. UNDGO should strengthen its fundraising possibly complemented by increased funding from UNDP.

There have been constant attempts to raise funds locally. The RC Office had meetings with several Ambassadors (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Poland, Sweden, Portugal, UK, USA and EU Delegation. Unfortunately, donor interest in Angola locally is dwindling against the background of government high oil revenues and Angola's continuously very poor HDI performance. Most of the Embassies replied saying that that their governments already contribute to the UN at central level and therefore, they are surprised to see that the funding is not secured for the RC Office through the HQ. In donors' opinion it is very difficult to empower RCs without empowering RC Offices to deal with the various initiatives aimed at the implementation of UN Reform at the country level. It should be noted that the absence of permanent RC may partly be affecting their decision. |
