RESUMO

The present research analyses the process of construction of the food security policy in Angola from the view of the existing public policies and of the actors involved. Within this process, the formulation of the National Food Security Programme (PNSAN) and the constitution of the Civil Society Network for Food Security in Angola were particularly analysed. The main results of this research show that the introduction of food security in the Angolan agenda happened through the combat to poverty in a context of growing stability, which was possible due to the end of the civil war. The research has also revealed that the construction of this policy is taking on an intersectoral character, following the approach adopted in Brazil, which creates several restrictions and challenges and imposes new institutional arrangements by the government. Moreover, this research has revealed how the articulation of civil society in a food security network can create new perspectives towards increasing social participation in this matter.
