Angola Regional Organization
The basic unit of the party was the cell, which
consisted of
between three and thirty members within a workplace or
small
neighborhood. Each cell elected a sector committee, which
in turn
elected a rural village committee or urban neighborhood
committee,
as appropriate. These committees, in turn, elected
district and
provincial committees. Higher-level committees were
supposed to
meet every two years and elect executive functionaries to
set their
agendas and retain minimal authority between meetings. An
important
task in each committee was the election of a party control
commission to combat factionalism and promote cooperation
among
party functionaries within the region. At each level,
control
commission members were confirmed by the next higher level
body
before assuming office.
