Answer: Briefly describe the usefulness and uniqueness of your social venture Luanda Sul is a trend-setting model for innovative practice. It is based on a self-sustaining urban infrastructure program aimed to valorize public assets through careful land-use management and planning. In close partnership with Government agencies, the private sector and community-based organisations, the population living in temporary settlements and the people displaced by the war are being resettled.

1: Needs of a low-income and displaced community

1: Issues to be addressed by this social venture (or case) The program was initiated in 1995 through a self-financing process to improve the living conditions of the city and to meet the immense unmet needs of a low-income and displaced community. The improvements in the Luanda Sul included the construction of 70km of pipes providing drinking water, 23km of drainage, 12 km of power lines, 2,210 houses and adequate shelter for 16,702 people.

2: Self-financing scheme

2: What is the unique idea to solve the issues? The program operates from an Achievement and Management Fund. The resources are mobilised through; (i) the sale of concessions (or land tenure rights) derived from the allocation of public land for private development; (ii) taxes and tariffs perceived on the exchange of goods and services; and (iii) investments made by the private sector. The Government, by issuing guarantees for private investments, provided the basis for the self-financing of the programme.

3: Urban experts are mobilized to acquire lands

3: Revenue Model & Organization The technical and human resources come from a team of skilled urban and infrastructure experts. The process involved the identification of suitable land for urban development, the acquisition of the land from landowners by the state, the legislation of the status of the land according to a land-use plan and the mobilisation of capital investment of the private sector.

4: 2,700 families resettled

4: Targeted Benefit & Outcome The program involved an initial investment of US$30 million and a subsequent investment of US$14 million. The infrastructure development includes community facilities, schools, commercial establishments, an industrial estate and a hospital. The program so far has: resettled 2,700 families displaced by the war; managed to fully service 8 million sq. m with 121 km of power lines, 70 km of piped water and 3 sewerage treatment plants; US$96 million has been generated and invested, mostly in social services; 4,000 jobs have been created;

5: The community participated in the design

5: Strengths and Risks of the business model the settlers have secure land tenure and the project is now part of the World Bank?fs Luanda Master Plan; the community participated in the design and planning of the program and is given first option to buy land; the project meets internationally accepted standards and is guaranteed by the Government; there are plans to replicate the program in Benguela Province.
