The Hand-in-Hand Initiative, in close partnership with the Government of Angola, is committed to advancing a transformative agenda that positions agriculture as a cornerstone for sustainable economic growth, poverty alleviation, and employment generation. Despite Angola's status as the second-largest oil producer in Africa, the country is strategically focusing on economic diversification through agricultural development, in line with its 2023–2027 National Development Plan.
