Clearly defining priorities in order to improve the performance of the First Lady Isaura Nyusi’s Office is one of the challenges being taken up the new executive director, Anabela Pinho, who took office yesterday.

Speaking at the inauguration yesterday, President Filipe Nyusi said the setting of priorities would bring more credibility to the Office and some of the projects already underway.

Among these were Adult Literacy projects and support programmes, the National Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health and the First Ladies Health Initiative on Cervical, Breast and Prostate Cancer, among other actions whose impact in the lives of beneficiaries, their families and the community in general had been very positive.

“The viability of some of these projects requires human, material and financial resources. It is up to you, Director, in coordination with your collaborators, to identify the partnerships necessary for the objectives that dictated their design and materialisation to be achieved,” Nyusi said.

He added that it should also be Pinho’s mission to create opportunities for her skills and experience to be shared with openness and good sense, always keeping in mind the services provided to citizens to whom the Office’s activities are directed.

“Concentrating on the priorities here listed, with programming instruments as a guiding compass, and investing in the potential of your collective work, we are sure the desired results will be achieved and will contribute to improving the living conditions of our people,” the head of state said, reiterating his conviction that Pinho amply met the requirements necessary to be successful in her new role.

Before being named director of the First Lady’s Office, Pinho served as president of the board of directors of the Mozambique Stock Exchange (BMVM).
