The Operations Base South in Ondjiva, Cunene Province

Angola report 2001 [3]

Headquarter moved

In an effort to cut costs in base operations in Luanda, the main administration office has now moved to the workshop facility in Viana. This office will continue to correspond with all other Organisations, Agencies and Embassies in Luanda, as well as coordinate with all Commissions and Government Offices. The office and accommodation complex on the Ilha do Cabo has now been handed back to the owner. Control of all MgM Operations in Angola has now been transferred to the Operations Base South in Ondjiva, Cunene Province. For the future a new Operations Base North will be set up in Malanje during 2002.

The Year 2001 saw MgM suffer a severe shortage of funds for Demining Operations, curtailing many proposed projects. Through this though, with the available funds MgM managed to meet commitments to help support other humanitarian operations in aid of Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Angola.
