Signing it here in Luanda—during the celebrations for Angola’s 50th anniversary of independence—adds even deeper meaning: a country looking forward with hope, resilience and ambition, and a Movement ready to match that hope with concrete action.

This agreement marks a new chapter. Bringing Seville 2.0 to life in the Angolan context. It strengthens our collective action, clarifies roles and responsibilities, and ensures that our support reaches communities in a more coherent, predictable, and efficient way.

@‌IFRC_DREF is one of the oldest humanitarian pooled funds for emergency response to small and medium-sized disasters. Originally designed to respond to small- and medium-sized disasters, the fund has evolved to include support for anticipatory action.

Access to clean water in Chibuwe, Chipinge has always been a challenge. @ZrcsRed, with support from @ifrc & @eu_echo, changed that through —rehabilitating boreholes, installing water storage tanks & setting up handwashing stations. Watch their story!
