DW Developments 5 – Twenty Five Years in Angola

Few who knew DW in the early 1980s — with just five staff and a focus on rural programmes in southern Angola — would recognise it today. Twenty five years in Angola has seen the organisation mature into a predominantly Angolan NGO, employing around 250 staff and, together with local partnerships, boasting a wide-ranging mandate featuring urban and rural settlements, water and sanitation, peacebuilding and microfinance. Featured in this issue: 25 milestones point the way for Dw in Angola and with twenty five years of experience in Angola, DW Director Allan Cain reflects on new directions.
