With regard to the education sector, Manuel Homem indicated that next year's agenda includes building around 100 schools.
In an interview with Angop, the governor revealed that, in 2023, 50 primary and 50 first cycle schools will be built, with the aim of reducing the number of children who are outside the education system (currently estimated at one million and 500 children).
In his interview with Angop, the governor of Luanda also mentioned that in the field of health, work is being carried out at provincial level with the aim of making 51 more municipal hospitals available to citizens, with only 10 units of this type currently existing.
The flow of wastewater and rainwater was also addressed by the governor, who assured that this problem could be solved in the next three years.
Manuel Homem, in an interview to Angop, said that there are six structuring projects to grant better fluidity to the flow of water, since their aim is to lead the waters of the large basins to the macro-drainage network, aiming to simplify the flow of water originating from Viana, Talatona and Kilamba Kiaxi to the sea, either through Cacuaco or through Benfica.
Already at the ceremony – witnessed by religious leaders, heads of various branches of the police and Angolan Armed Forces, artists and civil society officials –, Manuel Homem said that the list of projects for 2023 also includes the continuation and repair of secondary and tertiary roads as well as improving public lighting and sanitation.
He also referred to sales on pedestrian crossings and stops, informing that a strategy had been drawn up with regard to raising awareness and placing traders in more comfortable locations, writes Angop.
Although there are obstacles, the governor considered it "possible to win, as there are conditions for achieving the proposed objectives" and left the commitment to keep up the conversation with all the fringes of society in order to better identify the needs of the capital and discover joint responses.
