| Title | Laying the foundation for VaMoz Digital | |
| Description |
The project aims to strengthening the enabling environment for inclusive digital transformation through institutional capacity development for policy and regulatory stakeholders, digital skills training and targeted actions to foster a vibrant digital innovation ecosystem in Mozambique. The project ‘Laying the foundation for VaMoz Digital!’ is a component of the joint EC-ITU-AICS “VaMoz Digital!” project which aims to contribute to Mozambique’s inclusive growth focused on digital transformation. Throughout this, the enhancement of digital skills and the strengthening of the Mozambican digital ecosystem are key. Fundamental to ensuring progress towards achieving those results is a review of the policy and regulatory frameworks, their strengthening as required, and facilitating access to affordable and accessible digital infrastructure. This project contributes to the implementation of the EU Digital Agenda (COM(2020) 67 Final) and the African Union’s Digital Transformation Strategy for Africa in general.
