This project consists in a 2013-2017 socio-economic development plan for a Province in Angola, in line with the Longterm National Strategy Angola 2025. Southern Kwanza is a Province with almost one million and a half inhabitants, in centre-littoral region of the country.

The field work, carried out by a team from Quaternaire Portugal and Intersismet Consulting (an angolan partner responsible for coordinating the study) and the plan preparation, discussion and approval took place from April until September 2013.

The proposed strategy and action plan is based in two major intervention lines: social and territorial choesion (ther are great social deficits and a huge inequality between coastal and inner land municipalities) and competitiveness (emerging from the great agricultural, fishiery and food industry potential and from the sea port and logistic and knowledge platform linked to the oil sector).
