Social investment

We support social investment initiatives that strengthen the capabilities of Angola’s people and institutions

bp Angola characterizes its social intervention as “projects which aim to bring tangible benefits to the local communities”, which is in line with the priorities of the Angolan Government and business needs. Our actions focus mainly on initiatives which promote education, enterprise development and health.

 

We engage with stakeholders such as community and church leaders, the Angolan government, non-governmental organizations, academics and aim to form strategic partnerships that generate mutually beneficial outcomes.We and our partners contribute to projects that help to build local capability.
 

Education and enterprise development are critical for economic growth, social development, poverty reduction and social integration, while health, safety and environment are important elements in the sustainable development of the country. We therefore support a number of projects and initiatives in these areas, in partnership with government, local communities and institutions.
