Speaking at the year-end greetings ceremony, Job Capapinha referred that, in this sense, the Government will continue, in 2023, the projects included in the Integrated Plan for Intervention in Municipalities (PIIM) and in the Program to Combat Poverty, among others.
“We are going to work to guarantee a better quality of life for our populations and improve the image of cities and towns. Therefore, there must be better communication between members of the Government and municipal administrations, because only then can we successfully achieve the objectives set for the five-year period 2023/2027”, he stressed.
On the occasion, the provincial secretary of the Government, Hilário Mucase, recalled that the Government will invest around 2.85 billion kwanzas, over the next five years, in the implementation of 933 social and economic projects in the province.

In the education sector, 16 schools were inaugurated, allowing for the expansion of 134 classrooms and the placement of 630 teachers.

Among the actions implemented, the rehabilitation of the nursing home in Porto-Amboim also stands out, allowing our elders to live in greater comfort”, he added.
