The Mozambican government will pass into law the National Development Strategy (ENDE) 2025-2044, the planning instrument which reflects the understanding of different segments of society about the path and priorities for Mozambique’s development over the next 20 years.

Mozambique’s Council of Ministers yesterday (11-03) approved the strategy proposal, now to be submitted to the Assembly of the Republic (AR). Speaking after the cabinet meeting in Maputo, spokesperson Inocêncio Impissa explained that ENDE aims to promote sustainable, inclusive, equitable and resilient development in Mozambique, driven by economic growth, improvement of the quality of life of Mozambicans and reducing inequalities.

In June 2024, the government approved the same ENDE 2025-2044, but, according to Impissa, who is also Minister of State Administration and Public Service, several factors demanded a reassessment of the instrument, especially the violent post-election demonstrations that broke out in mid-October, and which subverted the country’s main economic drivers.

The budget for the implementation of the ENDE will come from the strategies and policies and also from the sectoral programs that will be drawn up during the period. In the same session, the executive assessed the implementation of its plan in the first 100 days of government.

After 54 days, the balance reveals that, of the 96 planned indicators, 68 recorded a degree of achievement above 50%, 18 between 25% and 49%, and 10 below 24%.

The plan also includes economic and social stability, combined with the violent post-election demonstrations that have been organized in the main Mozambican cities by supporters of the defeated presidential candidate, Venâncio Mondlane. Impissa explained that pacification and stability, points included in the plan, have to do with the creation of minimum conditions for life to continue normally, on the one hand, and the ongoing political dialogue, during which the parties signed the Inclusive National Dialogue Commitment.

“The destabilization of the country has been caused by people, so these same people have to be brought to the table to talk, to discuss and find joint, collective paths towards the pacification and stabilization of the country so that we can all see in Mozambique a hope for everyone,” Impissa said.
