A risk and security plan is being prepared for the province of Cabo Delgado, with a view to protecting projects being implemented in that part of the country.

To this end, the government, through the Ministry of Justice, Constitutional and Religious Affairs, is looking to recruit a company specialising in risk and security management for the rapid operationalization of the initiative.

The resources to be used to finance the preparation of the aforementioned plan are part of the Digital Economy and Electronic Government (EDGE) project, a donation from the World Bank.

This is a project that aims to increase access to legal identification, digital public services and digital business opportunities in the Mozambican market.

The institution explains that the main mission of the entity to be hired will be to identify, evaluate and develop strategies and plans to mitigate security risks and threats to workers, equipment and areas of intervention associated with the implementation of the EDGE project in the region.

The company is also expected to provide technical support to ensure the continuity of operations and the safety of the project’s beneficiaries and resources in Cabo Delgado.

In addition to small-scale initiatives underway, Cabo Delgado province is also home to large natural gas exploration projects, some of which have been suspended due to security concerns in the region.

One such project is the Mozambique LNG Project, operated by TotalEnergies, which is uniquely positioned to meet the growing global demand for sustainable, reliable and clean energy sources.

The government has recently been working to find mechanisms to resume liquefied natural gas exploration activities in Area-1 of the Rovuma Basin, which were halted due to terrorism.
