As part of the celebrations marking 50 years of National Independence, Rikke Viholm, Chair of the ADPP Angola Board of Director, accepted on behalf of ADPP Angola the Peace and Development medal of honour, awarded by His Excellency João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço, President of the Republic.

The honour acknowledges ADPP’s contribution to Angola’s development since 1986 through projects in education, health, agriculture, environment, and community development. It also marks an important milestone in the organization’s journey, as ADPP will celebrate 40 years of work throughout the country in 2026.

We dedicate this recognition to everyone who has been part of our story: team members, collaborators, participants, and partners who walk this path with us.

We celebrate our past with pride and look to the future with determination, confident that the next 50 years will bring new opportunities to continue contributing to Angola’s development and peace.
