In2008, the partnership financedtwo new schools in Uige andMalange provinces to train 1,000primary school teachers.Through API, Chevron alsolaunched a reading project foreducational institutions at alllevels. In its first year, CABGOCdonated nearly 1,000 books toInstituto Superior de Ciências daEducação (ISCED) in Luanda.Chevron sponsored the AnnualConference of the NationalEnglish Language TeachersAssociation (ANELTA) with nearlya thousand teachers participating,300 in the central conference inLuanda and more than 250 in eachof the provincial conferences inHuambo, Benguela and Huila.ReducingPoverty ThroughEnterpriseDevelopmentAlleviating poverty by helpingAngolans develop small- andmedium-sized enterprises (SMEs)is one of Chevron’s objectives. Itis accomplished by focusing onincreasing access to micro-finance,improving access to qualifiedbusiness support services andvocational training, and by improvingthe business environment tohelp new entrepreneurs thrive.Providing Access toFinanceNovoBanco, a micro-financeinstitution, provides creditto small entrepreneurs andlow-income households. Launchedin 2004, the bank has extendedover $40 million in loans, reachedover 30,000 entrepreneursand increased net assets from$10 million to $27.1 million. In2008, NovoBanco loaned $10.6million to 31,207 micro and smallentrepreneurs with a 95 percentreimbursement rate. A highlyvisible success, the bank hasgained attention from governmentand several other banks witnessingthe potential of the micro, smalland medium enterprise sector andspurring them to accelerate developmentof small credit funds.Chevron was instrumental indeveloping NovoBanco. Thecompany made an equityinvestment to establish the bank,provided $1 million for technicalassistance to the bank andpersuaded the U.S. Agency forInternational Development (USAID)to match Chevron’s technicalassistance funds. In 2007, theAngolan bank, Banco Africano deInvestimentos (BAI), bought outthe original partners of NovoBanco,with the exception of Chevron.Currently, BAI owns 85.71 percentof the shares with Chevron holdingthe remaining 14.29 percent. Thebank plans to expand its operationsfrom 3 to 11 new branches withinthe next year.Contributing BusinessCounsel and TrainingIn its second year of operations,the Luanda Business Incubator,Angola’s first and only functioningincubator hosted 24 enterprisesand generated 14 new jobs. Theincubator is currently funded bythe Angola Enterprise Program(AEP), a partnership with UNDPand the National Institute forVocational Training (INEFOP)aimed at promoting the developmentof a diverse, robust, micro,small and medium enterprisesector in Angola. In 2008, theincubator provided 41 entrepreneurshiptraining sessions thatincluded marketing, cash flowmanagement, basic finance, andbusiness plan preparation.The newly remodeled BusinessResources and DevelopmentCenter co-funded by AEP andthe Ministry of Industry receivedmore than 120 visitors and 450visits to its Web site since openingin mid-2008.

Creating Sustainable EconomicDevelopmentProgress Made Through Diversification, Creativity andIndividual Effortand small enterprises completed66 training sessions in an intensiveprogram managed by KPMGto improve the service providers’business and managerial skills.Chevron and the AEP alsosponsored the Third NationalConference on Micro finance,with more than 300 participantsworking toward creationof a national policy regardingmicro-finance. The company alsosponsored the First NationalConference on the PrivateA Flourishing EntrepreneurAna Coumba owns Organizações Sandeleji,a company she and her husband started 15years ago when their neighbors convincedthem that a bakery was a good idea. In2004, with a loan from NovoBanco, she purchasedan oven and other equipment. Witha second credit from the bank in 2006, shegrew her business by importing products from South Africa.Last year, she expanded again with the bank’s help and signeda contract to become the primary cookie supplier to a majorsupermarket chain in Luanda. Her company earned almost$70,000 in 2008 and expansion plans are under way.“I started with two people working withme. Today, I have 28 employees on the payroll.No way would I have achieved this successwithout the help from NovoBanco.”Ana CoumbaOwner Organizações SandelejiSector. The conference resulted information of the National Councilof Business Associations.Inauguration of SociedadeEspirita Allan Kardec de Angola(SEAKA) vocational center inViana, Luanda province, took placein April 2008, and by year’s end,200 trainees who attended variousprofessional courses received theirdiplomas. The center also launchedthree- to six-month pilot programs incarpentry, bakery and agriculture.Innovating forSustainabilityIn a unique model of sustainablebusiness creation, CABGOC, Block0 partners and the Center forOrphans and Abandoned YoungGirls (CAMEHA) developed afinancial and operational plan thathelped grow the center’s smallbakery into a thriving businessthat now generates income andprovides training for youngwomen. In 2008, an intensivemanagement capacity buildingprogram with CAMEHA helped thebakery triple its production andincrease sales by 300 percent.With the financial success of thebakery, the orphanage no longerneeds increasing levels ofdonations, and the future is morepromising for girls who haveacquired marketable skills.Chevron continued its participationin Junior Achievement, theworld’s largest organizationdedicated to educating studentsabout workforce readiness,entrepreneurship and financialliteracy through experiential,hands-on programs. CABGOCemployees volunteered 264 hoursof their time to coach and mentor119 students in the Junior Achievementprogram of the CatholicUniversity of Angola.Agricultureand Fishery:Moving FromSubsistence toCommercialTo contribute to the diversificationof Angola’s economy, and toreduce poverty and hunger,Chevron, in partnership withseveral bilateral and multilateralinstitutions, developed objectives topromote economically and operationallysustainable agricultural andfishing projects. These projectsencompass the spectrum of thevalue chain by teaching sustainablemethods for production, processingand commercialization.In 2008, Chevron and USAIDcontinued expansion of thefive-year ProAgro project, a keyelement in the API strategy. InBenguela province, 63 small-scalebanana producers were trained toimprove agronomic practices andto develop market opportunitiesfor bananas. Using improved andlocally adapted techniques, theyplanted 22 hectares of bananas,increasing yield by 40 percent. Theproject created 480 new jobs inBenguela alone. (See “A PioneeringSuccess Story.”)In Cabinda, Block 0 partnerssupported the Alliance for Agri-Business Development (CADA),which provided 44 farmers withseeds, fertilizers, pesticides andmicro-credit to cultivate approximately20 hectares of land. Morethan 1,360 farmers receivedtechnical assistance, includingpreparation of 82 business plansand crop production calendars.Their efforts yielded 161 metrictons of fruits and vegetables andearned about $8,050 in net profitfor each farmer. The IntegratedAgriculture Project in Huamboinitiated late in 2008 is expectedto improve banana, cassava, Irishand sweet potato production, andreduce seed importation.A Pioneering Success StoryCarlos Marques is a banana producer in the Cavaco Valley,Benguela province. He is also the first participant in theProAgro program in the region to receive a bank loan.Through the project, he successfully planted 15 hectaresand completed a solid business plan that prompted Bancode Fomento Angola (BFA) to approve loaning him $82,500to grow his production. Because of his hard work, he hasproven that, given the knowledge and tools, agribusinessowners can work with Angola’s financial industry to buildeconomically sustainable partnerships.Carlos MarquesBanana Producer1213

The workplacesafety record of 2008 putsCABGOC’s performance in the“world-class” category. Four timesduring the year, the companyreached the milestone of fivemillion workforce hours without aday-away-from-work incident.Delivering a Major Milestone for a MajorCapital ProjectFor the Malongo Terminal Oil Export Pipeline (MTOE) project, thecompany and its partners commissioned Socotherm Angola toproduce concrete-coated pipe for a new pipeline from the Malongotank farm to two new offshore loading berths. Subcontracting topipe supplier, Corbus Tubes, Socotherm became the first Angolancompany to attempt large-scale, concrete-weight coating. Socotherm’smanufacturing needs led to the expansion of the Sonils pipe yard inLuanda and construction of a new concrete-coating facility. Investmenton the project was more than $20 million and created morethan 200 jobs for Angolan nationals who successfully completed thecommission, coating 2,444 joints of pipe, each joint weighing approximately20 tons.20 21

Guarding the FutureActing Today for Generations to ComeProtecting theEnvironmentDemonstrating that Chevron placesa high value on environmentalaccountability and climate changeissues, the company has adoptedan environmental performancestandard to drive operationalexcellence in the management ofroutine flaring and venting in itsoperations.There is no routine flaring inCABGOC-operated Block 14.The Sanha Condensate Projecteliminates approximately half ofthe flaring in Block 0. Averaging50,000 barrels of crude oil,condensate and liquefied petroleumgas per day, the projectreinjects associated gas into thereservoir, helping CABGOC achieveits goal of reducing flaring from itsAngolan operations in Block 0.The company has other majorcapital projects completed orunder construction to managesurplus gas via reservoir injection,infrastructure expansion and reliefsystem modification for safety.These projects are:› Takula Gas Processing Platform(TGPP)This 5,800-ton topsides platformwill add 100 million standard cubicfeet per day (mmscfd) of compressioncapacity as well as gassweetening and dehydrationfacilities to collect and processsurplus gas from the Takula Area.Surplus gas will be reinjected inMalongo North and West fields.› Block 14 Gas InjectionSurplus gas from Block 14 istransported via high-pressurepipeline to the Malongo West Fieldin Block 0 where it is injected in thegas cap for pressure maintenancewhile eliminating routine flaring inBlock 14.› Cabinda Gas Plant (CGP)This project is designed to eliminateroutine flaring onshore atthe Malongo terminal and willhave gas-processing capacity of25 mmscfd.› Flare and Relief System Modification(FARM)This project will modify reliefsystems on 14 existing platforms togather flared surplus gas and routeto compression. Additionally, 10new flare booms with burner tipsand pilots designed for efficiencywill be installed to handlenon-routine flaring.› Nemba Flare Reduction Project(Nemba FRD)This project will collect thelow-pressure surplus gas currentlyvented by routing it through firststagecompressors to boost thepressure to enter the reservoirinjection system.To ensure that operations haveno impact on Cabinda’s fisheries,CABGOC conducted fish-tissuecollection and sampling. For theCabinda Fisheries Assessmentproject, CABGOC collaboratedwith the National Institute forFisheries Research (INIP) and theCabinda Directorate of Agriculture,Fisheries, Environment and RuralDevelopment. Results of analysisof edible tissue samples showedthat fish from Cabinda Bay are wellwithin healthy test ranges.CABGOC demonstrates its respectfor the biodiversity of the environmentand the need for communitycollaboration by continuing toprotect the endangered seaturtles and their habitat on thethree-kilometer stretch of beachin front of the Malongo operationsbase in Cabinda. Annually, fromlate September to mid-Marchduring nesting season, Chevronscientists tag the turtles, locatenests and count successful hatchlingsof Olive Ridley, Green andLeatherback turtles. Members ofCabinda’s fishing community andCABGOC environmental engineerstogether protect the nests. Since2002, they have observed at least700 nests and 5,300 hatchlings.Emergency ResponsePreparednessChevron continues rigorousenvironmental protection practicesincluding regular drills in case offire or spill. In 2008, CABGOCconducted 62 training sessions inemergency response, 125 fitnesssessions and 17 drills. The MalongoFire Brigade trained every Saturdayfor two hours. High-angle andconfined-space rescue training, a140-hour course, was completedbe 22 trainees. Seven CABGOCemployees also completed thefour-day gas detector training andcertification course. The companyalso acquired a landing craft for oilspill response.CABGOC regularly monitorsproduced water from areas of oiloperations, consistently meetingMinistry of Petroleum dischargeperformance standards forproduced water discharge.22 23
