United Nations Population Fund

UNFPA Angola

After enduring 40 years of almost continuous war, Angola was in disarray when peace accords were finally signed in 2002. Since then, the country’s economy has grown rapidly, but inequities persist, and nearly 40 per cent of Angolans live in poverty and maternal mortality and teenage pregnancy remain high. Since 1978, UNFPA has been working to: increase access to reproductive health (including family planning and treatment of obstetric fistula) and HIV prevention services; ensure sustainable population growth and development (through improved availability of reliable information); and increase gender equality.

Technical notes and sources

The results featured here are only a selection of key results in line with strategic plan 2014-17 indicators. The selection does not reflect the full picture of all results achieved during the strategic plan cycle by UNFPA programme countries.
The source of data for most country level indicators is the UNFPA country annual reports for 2014-2017, unless stated otherwise
Results featured are cumulative - i.e., achieved between the 2014 and 2017 timeframe, and reflect the net situation, true as of the year selected
Majority of the results are captured from 127 UNFPA programme countries
Indicators that are marked ‘not achieved’ could imply any of the following conditions:
- The country may have achieved the result without the support of UNFPA
- The country has not targeted the given indicator during the 2014-2017 period
- UNFPA is supporting this area of work, but the result has not yet been achieved
