The country is covered by the UNESCO Cluster Office in Windhoek, Namibia.

After a 27-year civil war that ended recently, Angola has begun to establish a platform where scientists from all disciplines related to environmental sciences can exchange knowledge and methodology on a multitude of scientific levels, and is developing its research potential.
