In many countries, the role of the First Lady is seen as an important and influential position, and first ladies often continue to be in the public eye and have influence in various sectors even after their husband's term of office has ended.
In Angola, the role of the First Lady has also evolved over time, from being primarily a ceremonial figure to having a more active role in championing social causes and supporting the President's political agenda. The First Lady often accompanies the President on official trips and represents Angola at various national and international events. The position of the First Lady also carries a degree of influence and visibility in the country, and their activities and initiatives are often closely followed by the public and media. In the absence of a First Lady, the President may be accompanied by a female relative or an official representative.
