This Occassional Paper examines processes of social change in Angola, especially recent forced migration to the peri-urban areas of the large cities, and the resulting weakening of social networks and solidarity. These changes, in their return, make it difficult for peri-urban residents to organise collective action to resolve common problems. The Paper argues that reconstruction in Angola must include assistance to civil society at the grassroots.

Tato ojedinělá studie se zabývá procesem společenské změny v Angole, zejména nedávnou nucenou migrací do příměstských oblastí velkoměst, která má za následek oslabení sociálních sítí a solidarity mezi skupinami obyvatel. Tyto změny pak obyvatelům těchto příměstských čtvrtí znesnadňují organizování společných iniciativ, které by vedly k řešení společných problémů. Nutným předpokladem pro rekonstrukci Angoly je podle této studie podpora občanské společnosti.
