The OSISA Human Rights Programme in Angola focused on two major issues that have dominated the Angolan political and social context as far as human rights are concerned. On one hand, the programme established a Human Rights Defenders Fund and extended its support to the Human Rights Monitoring Group. On the other, OSISA made a significant step in the effort of integrating Human Rights Education in the university curriculum:
Angola is known for being on the list of top countries ruined by corruption, which in itself enables the establishment of endemic practices. In other words, the country inherited poorly built institutions that function with total disregard for fundamental rights.
There is no registry of any university curriculum aiming at engraining universal values into the students. With the exception of certain specific subjects in the courses of international relations and international public law delivered by certain Angolan universities, there is no trace of a formal and actual curriculum devoted to human rights.
