It was an upscaling intervention to the previous projects  UNDP and partners had carried out  in the areas of human rights, access to justice, gender equality and women’s empowerment, which could also enhance synergies among these areas and the different implementing partners and stakeholders The project aimed to contribute to national efforts to promote  human rights for  all Angolans,  expand access to justice services,  promote gender equality and women and girls’ empowerment . In this way, the project aimed to contribute to the acceleration, at sectoral level, of the implementation of Agenda 2030 in Angola, mainly the SDGs 16 and 5, in alignment with the National Development Plan (PDN) 2018-2022. The project was developed in a context of opening political space following the election of a new president in 38 years in the 2017 general elections, and the commitment of the new government to anticorruption, economic diversification and human rights and gender equality. Additionally, the project was embedded in the ongoing process of the reform of the national justice system.
