Angola, where less than two-thirds of the population has access to clean water, was investing $5 billion (R60bn) in water projects, the state-run news agency Angop reported.
The funding covered a four-year period to 2017, Secretary of State for Water Luis Felipe da Silva told the World Water Forum in Korea this week.
Africa’s second-largest crude oil producer is promoting the preservation of supplies, sustainable use and water security, according to da Silva.
Angola, recovering from a 27-year civil war that ended in 2002, was affected by a drought from 2012 to 2014.
