In Mozambique, we are involved in exploration, development, and production of natural gas. Through the initiatives connected with the Coral South project, we help small and medium-sized Mozambican enterprises grow, strengthen the economy and improve the quality of products and services on the local market. We work to enhance food security, develop agricultural and fisheries value chains, build social cohesion and improve resilience to conflict and climate change impacts. We have held a series of workshops to guide Mozambican SMEs through our procurement processes, tender applications, registration channels and business opportunities. Promoting entrepreneurship over the long term creates new job opportunities for people and communities.

2019 – present
Economic diversificationThanks to our commitment to encouraging local companies to participate in our tenders, we have been able to simplify the technical requirements in the public tender phase. This has led to a significant increase in the number of Mozambican companies that are registered, as well as improving the efficiency of our procurement processes. We also promote entrepreneurship, agriculture, fisheries and services to encourage social cohesion, create new job opportunities and empower women and young people, thereby promoting economic growth. As part of our efforts to promote sustainable artisanal small-scale fishing in Pemba and Metuge districts, we are strengthening the capacity of fishing associations, improving fish management and processing, and facilitating access to fish markets. During 2025, the project finalised the supply of new fishing kits for artisanal fishermen and fish traders who are members of the CCP (Conselhos Comunitários de Pesca). Since 2021, projects have been implemented in the Cabo Delgado province to strengthen economic diversification, with the aim of addressing the triple nexus of humanitarian emergencies, development, peace and resilience to the effects of climate change. In the Province of Manica, our partnership with the The National Cooperative Business Association Clusa International (NCBA CLUSA) launched a food security programme that develops new agriculture-based value chains. The aim is to raise farmers’ incomes through Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices while widening market access for small producers.
