The Northern Integrated Development Agency (ADIN) has recently allocated more funds for the implementation of social and economic development projects in the provinces of Cabo Delgado, Niassa and Nampula.

A total amount of US$6 million will be channelled to ActionAid Mozambique, the Association for Support and Legal Assistance to Communities, the Civil Society Support Mechanism Foundation, the Kuendeleya Association, the Nunisa Foundation and the Christian Council of Mozambique.

According to the president of the ADIN Executive Committee, Jacinto Loureiro, who spoke yesterday in Maputo at the signing of the financing contracts, each organization will receive one million dollars in support of projects to generate employment, engage youth, provide social infrastructure and livelihoods for the population in the north of the country.

“This project, which began in 2023, aims to mitigate the effects of terrorism in the north of the country, and in this first phase it is valued at US$12 million, of which four have already been made available. Today we disbursed another six to the implementing institutions,” Loureiro explained. He also said that the results of the projects already financed were visible and had mitigated the effects of terrorism, integrating young people into various income-generating and recreational activities.

“The organizations involved in this process are doing a good job; we have seen in the districts and localities the effects of different initiatives that translate into the empowerment of young people and women,” Loureiro stressed.

Loureiro said that 67 facilities would be inaugurated this quarter, out of a total of 200 to be built this year, including schools, health units, roads, water sources, among others, destroyed by terrorists.

He also highlighted that the new ADIN statute would make it possible to do more and improve coordination between different development projects in the region.
