This project aims to promote sustainable development and social inclusion in municipalities, strengthening local governance and citizen participation.
Simultaneously, in Luanda, in the Urban District of Viana Sede, the PASCAL focal point, José Tiago, led a training on “Participation and Open Government — Reflection on Law 15/16 of September 12”. The event was attended by 73 people, 21 of whom were women.
