At the Mozambique Gas & Energy Summit this Wednesday, Mozambican private sector bodies urged Cabo Delgado entrepreneurs to develop partnerships with international companies in order to leverage their productive capacity and help foster the business fabric of the province and country.

“We have to pay more attention to local content. Local companies in Cabo Delgado must partner with international companies in order to develop their potential,” said Simone Santi, executive director of EuroCam, the Association of European Entrepreneurs in Mozambique and CEO of Leonardo Group. Santi pointed out that “international companies have been presenting plans to promote local content, and this is the perfect time to form partnerships to leverage national companies”.

At the same summit session, Northern Integrated Development Agency (ADIN) chairperson Armindo Ngunga said that “projects designed for Cabo Delgado will have no effect without everyone’s participation”.

“It is necessary that we all work together to make a difference,” he explained, underlining the existence of the “Cabo Delgado reconstruction plan, based on three pillars: humanitarian assistance, construction and replacement of infrastructure, and socio-economic support for families affected by terrorism”.

“The most important thing right now for families in Cabo Delgado is shelter,” Ngunga added. “Let’s give them that shelter. We have already delivered tools and seeds for the population to produce food,” so that aspect was covered.
