Prime Minister Maria Benvinda Delfina Levi on Wednesday, July 2nd, swore in Roberto André Dove as director-general of the National Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries – INICC.
The prime minister said that Mozambique’s cultural and creative industries were undoubtedly one of the most dynamic and promising segments of the national economy and therefore represented opportunities for the socio-economic development through the valorisation of our identity and artistic-business talent.
It was in recognition of this potential, she said, that the government of Mozambique had created the INICC, to boost the cultural and creative industries and transform national culture into a factor of economic growth and generation of jobs and income for Mozambicans.
In this regard, Benvinda Levi recommended that the newly appointed president continue to implement actions that contribute to the promotion of cultural programs and projects, the promotion of creative entrepreneurship and the mapping of the artistic and cultural potential of our country, among others.
Finally, she recommended that the newly appointed INICC president prioritize dialogue with the creative sectors, and increasingly invest in strategic coordination with other public and private entities.
Until the time of his appointment, Roberto André Dove served as director of studies, planning and institutional development at the National Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries since 2021, having also held the position of director of the National Directorate of Cultural and Creative Industries (DINICC), at the now defunct Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by the Minister of Education and Culture, the Secretary of State for Arts and Culture, the Director of the Information Office and the Director of the Prime Minister’s Office
Also sworn into office yesterday were the Director-General of the National Institute of Distance Education Sérgio Paulo Cossa, the Director-General of the National Institute for the Development of Education, Lurdes Patrocínio Matavele, the Director-General of the National Research Fund Florêncio Maulana and theDirector of the National Authority for Professional Education, Samuel Eduardo Samo Gudo.
