Luanda — The Social Welfare minister, João Baptista Kussumua, Tuesday in Luanda, urged the representatives of the public utility associations to exert a tighter control of the beneficiaries of their social actions in order to avoid duplication and thus cover a larger number of people.

This was said by the minister during the signing of contract-programmes with public utility associations, adding that the associations will participate in the resolution of constraints facing vulnerable populations.

The contract was signed by the director general of the Office of Studies, Planning and Statistics of the Social Welfare Ministry, Aarão dos Santos, and by representatives of Lwini, Ajaprz, Opa, Fundanga and Laasp foundations.
