Social inequality: The case of drought in southern Angola

Abstract

This article addresses social inequality. “The case of drought in southern Angola.” The southern provinces of Angola in particular (Cunene, Namibe and Huíla) have suffered the impacts of climate change. In periods of drought. We think it is a relevant problem as it has lasted for several decades. Making it more challenging year after year causing social inequality. Its objectives were: To learn about the vectors considered essential for contributing to the drought problem in the south of the country. As well as understanding social perceptions, with the possibility of presenting strategies to control the problem. This is a descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach. Taking as a theoretical reference, Karl Marx's theory of social inequality and the doctrine of sufficiency of Henry Frankfort. The technique used was the in-depth interview. Sampling was non-probabilistic for convenience. The data was processed taking into account content analysis. The results show that: Bringing water and tons of food does not solve the situation. The need to materialize inclusive public policies, with structuring projects. In creating sustainable agriculture that integrates conservation. In land planning development due to global warming. Since Angola is located in an area of contrast. From Southern Africa. Which in recent times has deserved more attention both at the world and continent level due to extreme issues. Furthermore, the country must participate in international efforts to mitigate climate change. Starting with action research and subsequently evaluating the results of the implemented plans. This is how we see the future.
