ADPP Angola - Associacao Ajuda de Desenvolvimento de Povo Para Povo em Angola

AJUDA DE DESENVOLVIMENTO DE POVO PARA POVO EM ANGOLA - The organization started its activities in 1986 with the construction of the Children’s Town in Caxito, a boarding school for orphans and other vulnerable children.
In 1992 ADPP was registered as an Angolan Association. Each of the institutions, projects or programmes operated by ADPP has a Project Council with its own leader. In total more than 1.076 people work at the projects as teachers, community activists, clothes promoters, tailors, cooks, bricklayers, accountants, secretaries, drivers and others. On a daily basis, 8.340 people work or study at ADPP Angola projects and thousands of others benefit from the effects of those projects and programmes.

ADPP stands for People-to-People Development Aid. ADPP Angola operates in the areas of education, health, agriculture and environment, and integrated community development. All activities are based on three pillars:

A community-based perspective that empowers individuals, families and communities to make positive changes in their own lives
Close working partnerships with local, provincial and national governments to promote sustainable development
An integrated approach that links activities in education, health, agriculture and environment, and community development for maximum impact.
ADPP works closely with authorities and institutions at all levels, from ministries to local leaders, from hospitals to rural schools. ADPP also collaborates with other NGOs and community organizations to coordinate efforts and increase effectiveness.

Headed by a Board of Directors elected at the general meeting, all ADPP projects and funds are subject to an annual external audit, carried out in accordance with international standards by the firm Ernst & Young.
