The Child and the Family: First National Symposium on the Child, 26-29 October, 1993, Luanda Luanda, Angola: ADRA, 1993 [Portuguese]

Paper was presented at the first national symposium on the child, in 1993. It analyses the human face of the Angolan crisis caused by the long civil war, drawing attention to issues, such as family disintegration, economic vulnerability and household food self-reliance. It also suggests critical strategies to protect the poorest children's health according to the specific conditions in Angola: mother awareness to breast feeding, broadening the coverage of vaccination, dehydration and children growth control. The paper suggests policies and programmes to be carried out along the 1990's in order to recognize the role of women in agriculture, health and community services

Rede Sanitaria Em Angola E Resposta Aos Problemas De saude Da Crianca Sanitary System in Angola and the Response to the Child's Health Problems
Luanda, Angola: ADRA, 1993 [Portuguese]

This document gives a situation analysis of the sanitary system in Angola in different provinces and how the different municipalities are maintaining, expanding and planning for the future expansion of the urban population. Most of the municipal areas do not have the resources to maintain and expand the system. This has great implications on the health of the children as sewage flows into the streets, pipes are bursting and there are no funds to maintain the system. Children are most affected since they play in the streets.

Angola 1994: Trying to Break Through the Wall
Gothenburg, Sweden: Gothenburg University, Department of Economics, 1994

The authors detail the economic development in Angola during 1993 and the first few months of 1994. They also analyse the economic policies formulated over the past years and their impact on the economy. During 1993, Angola™s economy showed an exceedingly poor performance. GDP decreased by almost twenty-five per cent, inflation reached a record high level on the verge of hyperinflation, and the balance of payments was in a disastrous state. The obvious cause of that poor performance was war. However, an erroneous economic policy pursued during the second half of 1993 strongly contributed to this negative performance.
