About A-IP

Background

Socio-economic research activities in Angola are scarce. The work developed during colonial times has been lost because of the absence of follow-up and the actual framework is poor.

In lieu of this, research in Angola has suffered from the structural changes of the Angolan society. At present, there is little research activities and this is why it seems important to create an independent institution of Angolan right that will promote socio-economic research while developing strategic partnerships with similar institutions aiming at enhancing in the process greater development for the benefit of the existing human resources of Angola.

Elements of the Program

The structural elements of the program are as follows:

  • Applied research in the socio-economic spheres
  • Creation of a socio-economic data base on Angola, including historical information
  • Dissemination of the results through seminars, discussion forums and working papers
  • Partnership and strategic relations with others research Institutes and other, inside and outside of the country
  • Training in the area of research methodology, targeting young groups of potential researchers
  • Consulting the specific sectors (vision of getting expertise "niches")

Areas of specific interest:

  • Linkages of the socio-economic spheres in the perspective of human development and evaluation of impact in economic social politics of the population
  • Reform of the public administration (national and local); financial management and economic: decentralisation; privation and regulation
  • Democracy, Citizenship and Civil Society; Governance and Promotion of Peace and conflict management; development of local leadership
  • Eradication of poverty, inequality and social exclusion
  • Sustainable development
  • Capacity-Building, training in the areas of research methodology (both quantitative and qualitative)
  • New technologies of the information and impact on the human development and human capital
  • Gender
  • Reproductive health, HIV and malaria

The Institute will privilege multi-disciplinary research and will promote dialogue between partners.
