Field of activity
In Mozambique production and exports of mineral and energy resources have increased significantly in recent years. Growing investments in the extractive sector challenge the government to control these processes according to good governance principles. The Ministry of Mineral Resources is faced with the task of reinforcing its planning and controlling capacities to capitalise on the extractive sector as an engine for sustainable development. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, in cooperation with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Australia (DFAT), will support the Ministry of Mineral Resources in updating and implementing its human resources strategy for the extractive sector.
The 'Improving Natural Resources Governance' programme aims to enhance the planning and controlling capacity of the government of Mozambique to better utilise the country's mineral resources for development. The programme works in four different areas: (i) Improvement of the government's technical-professional and political-strategic management, especially in the Ministry of Mineral Resources; (ii) Ministry of Mineral Resources and local governance: Improvement of the social and economic impact of mineral resource extraction; (iii) Increasing transparency and accountability through support of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI); (iv) Strengthening the government in public-private dialogue with mining companies. The activities are focused on the Ministry of Mineral Resources in Maputo.
