Mozambique
country profile

Mozambique joined the IF in 2004 and undertook the Diagnostic Trade Integration Study ("DTIS"), which was validated in September 2005. The DTIS recommendations on regional integration, customs reform, transport, export development and sectoral policies were included in the revised Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper ("PRSP"), the 2006 Action Plan for the Reduction of Absolute Poverty. Subsequently, Mozambique benefited from seven IFTF Window II projects which included; (i) fishery laboratory equipment; (ii) training to use the lab equipment; (iii) support to the Ministry of Trade and Industry, improvement of data collection and production of foreign trade standards; (iv) fish quality control project; (v) preparation of foreign trade manual; (vi) project to accelerate standard development process; and (vii) improvement of data collection and production of Foreign Trade Standards. Under the EIF, government/donor/private sector coordination is done by the National Steering Committee ("NSC"). Mozambique submitted its Tier 1 project proposal, which if finalized will be submitted to the Board for approval. Mozambique has also put forward a number of project ideas for Tier 2 projects.
