The Agency for Integrated Development of the North (ADIN) is showcasing more than 50 projects valued at over two billion dollars at the Maputo International Fair (FACIM). Agronorte is ADIN’s flagship project at this edition of the fair.
ADIN’s stand is located in the Development Corridor pavilion. There, the agency is showcasing projects and seeking partners. But, above all, ADIN wants the public to know what the organisation is doing.
The Agency for Integrated Development of the North has as its focus to design, coordinate and implement projects that will lift the provinces of Niassa, Cabo Delgado and Nampula out of poverty.
“Our focus is on human beings, on people. When we see the improvement in people’s quality of life, we believe that ADIN will be satisfied. That is why we are here (at FACIM) – to showcase new projects, which are seeking partners and financing,” said FACIM chairman Jacinto Loureiro.
At the Maputo International Fair, ADIN is showcasing and seeking financing for new projects, but it already has some projects underway, even though their implementation is not satisfactory.
“We are showcasing at our stand 54 projects that are currently underway in Cabo Delgado, Niassa and Nampula, budgeted at around two billion dollars, which are already happening, albeit with unsatisfactory levels of implementation,” Loureiro said. “Therefore, ADIN has an extremely important role in motivating and ensuring that these projects are accelerated so that, effectively, this amount, which already exists, and approved projects, show progress at a different speed.”
Meanwhile, ADIN is bringing new projects linked to agriculture, such as Agronorte. “It is a very consistent project, very down to earth, so that we can gradually begin to see the fields that exist in Cabo Delgado, Niassa and Nampula, which are quite rich and productive, but dormant. This is the major project that we brought to FACIM, among others, to seek financing, with a view to starting this project that will significantly catalyse self-employment, productive activity for self-sustainability for our populations and, at the same time, with a perspective of 10 or 20 years of sustainability,” Loureiro explained.
And this human sustainability may well be sought for in a region of the country where people have been suffering the consequences of terrorism since 2017.
