Classifying as positive the social, political and economic growth achieved in recent years in the country, Ute Klamert also expressed her satisfaction with this development, despite the unfavorable events in the world market, writes Angop.
The official, quoted by Angop, also took the opportunity to mention the fact that it is necessary to preserve the peace and balance of organizations capable of ensuring development.
The relevance and need to invest in education, in order to contribute to the environmental awareness of future generations, taking into account the effects of climate change, was also emphasized by the official.
The official, according to Angop, also made it clear that the WB will continue to assist the Government of Angola in matters related to programs whose main aim is to improve teaching, taking for the time being the idea of an ecological school.
The audience, which took place on the sidelines of COP27, served to discuss matters related to financing in the social domain, specifically the School Meal Program and help for the reintegration of vulnerable families, writes Angop.
According to Rádio Nacional de Angola (RNA), the areas of education, nutrition, integration and climate change are among the priorities outlined in the Executive's programs that have the support of the WB, which provided 430 million dollars for these various programmes.
