The meeting brought together leading figures such as the Secretaries of State for Local Authorities and for Territorial Administration, Fernando da Paixão and Teresa Quivienguele, the Deputy Head of Cooperation of the Delegation of the European Union (DUE), Francisco Sepúlveda, and representatives of the PASCAL implementing agencies.
The Secretary of State for Local Authorities stressed the importance of aligning the project’s actions with the celebrations of Angola’s 50 years of independence, reinforcing PASCAL’s role in promoting governance that is closer to the communities.
