The Governor of Cabo Delgado, Valige Tauabo, yesterday (07-11) led the 8th sitting of the province’s Public-Private Dialogue in the city of Pemba. The meeting was an opportunity for the business class to discuss constraints worrying them, in order to overcome barriers to business opportunities and stimulate the full realisation of activities.

Bureaucracy in handling procedures and the difficulty of enterprises in the agricultural and livestock sector accessing water and electricity from the national grid stand out in the list of concerns presented.

Delivering the closing speech of the meeting, Governor Tauabo said that note had been taken of the critical points, and guaranteed that they would be addressed, from the bureaucracy point of view, so as to improve the business environment and institutional articulation in order to build consensus and solutions and bring institutions closer together, as a way of facilitating economic activity in the province.

The Cabo Delgado Business Council used the occasion to present a project called PROPESCA, an initiative that will generate synergies and relaunch fishing towards industrialization, and the government guaranteed support and assistance throughout the Economic Activities, Agriculture and Fisheries, and Industry and Commerce sectors.

The head of the Provincial Executive Council announced the creation of Parques de Cabo Delgado, abbreviated as CD Parques, which will be officially launched in the coming days and, in tandem with local entrepreneurs, will create four agro-industrial parks.

At the meeting, certificates of recognition were given to companies which excelled in 2021 in the categories of best tax contributors, best exporters and, for the first time, the most innovative company of the year.
