The money was allocated by the Directorate General of Civil Protection and European Humanitarian Aid Operations and will serve to UNICEF Angola to strengthen health services, nutrition and hygiene conditions of the population.
The list of activities to benefit from the funds includes strengthening the management of cases of child malnutrition, expanding the program of cash transfers to malnourished families, providing personal protection equipment to health units, schools, homes and orphanages, installing infrastructure for hand washing in public markets and strengthening vaccination.
covid-19 has worsened the national economy and, consequently, reduced family incomes. Socio-economic difficulties have left families more exposed to the virus. To combat these problems, according to the newspaper Mercado, UNICEF has worked with the Luanda authorities to ensure that the inhabitants of the capital continue to have access to health services, nutrition and adequate hygiene conditions, thus reducing the impact of the pandemic.
