FAO and UNDP have initiated a joint mission in Angola to advance climate-resilient rural development through integrated agriculture and clean energy. Central to this effort are Rural Transformation Centres (RTCs), co-developed with the Angolan government, which combine climate-smart farming, renewable energy, and local value chains. The mission aims to assess local needs, map opportunities, and empower women and youth while enhancing productivity and livelihoods. This initiative supports Angola’s national goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
