Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The European Union (EU) intends to invest \u20ac65 million this year in development projects in parts of northern Mozambique affected by the armed insurgency. EU Ambassador to Mozambique Ant\u00f3nio Gaspar expects the resumption of activities within \u201cmonths\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this year alone, we have \u20ac65 million euros in the pipeline for development actions in the north, for issues related to support for resilience, infrastructure, water and other programs that are already being formulated,\u201d Ambassador Gaspar revealed.<\/p>\n

The specific projects \u201care still being prepared\u201d, in \u201cpermanent dialogue with the [Mozambican] government\u201d and the Integrated Development Agency for the North (ADIN), an office created by the executive, he underlined.<\/p>\n

The north encompasses the plagued province of Cabo Delgado and neighbouring Niassa and Nampula provinces, and the \u20ac65 million represents 45% of the EU\u2019s total support to Mozambique for this year.<\/p>\n

This financial aid is part of a wider package of development support to Mozambique for the 2021-2027 period.<\/p>\n

Total aid of \u20ac428 million in four years<\/b><\/p>\n

Total aid for the first four years of the period in question will be \u20ac428 million, Ant\u00f3nio Gaspar told Lusa. The focus is on three \u2018pillars\u2019: peace and stability; support for the emancipation of young people; and the \u2018growing green\u2019 strategy, to support the energy transition and preservation of the environment.<\/p>\n

In the case of the region under terrorist threat, financial development assistance will be applied based on a study entitled the Resilience and Integrated Development Strategy of the North (ERDIN) prepared by the EU, the African Development Bank, the World Bank and the United Nations in tandem with the Mozambican authorities.<\/p>\n

The strategy is to re-establish \u201cin five years\u201d the \u201cbase for economic and social development\u201d in the region, the document reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts mission is to promote the construction of peace, the reconstruction of the social contract between the State and citizens and economic recovery, based on the participation of communities, with the inclusion of women, young people and vulnerable groups, in a sustainable and resilient way, with respect for human rights,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

Questions about ERDIN<\/b><\/p>\n

At the end of 2021, ADIN presented the ERDIN and mentioned that it would be submitted for approval by the Council of Ministers. With no developments since then, the situation has raised doubts, with Mozambican NGO the Centre for Democracy and Development asking in April if the government had \u201cshelved the strategy\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ant\u00f3nio Gaspar told Lusa that the question does not arise. \u201cThis will not condition our support: the EU is not waiting to see\u201d whether the document is \u201capproved or not\u201d. \u201cERDIN guides\u201d the work of the EU and partners \u201cfrom a technical point of view\u201d and, at the same time, the document was placed \u201cat the service of the government\u201d, which is sovereign in defining policies, Gaspar said.<\/p>\n

In addition to funds for development support, the EU has another financial dossier, by means of which it is supporting the country with \u20ac89 million in (non-lethal) military equipment and underwriting a two-year (2021- 2023) military training mission to deal with the armed insurgency.<\/p>\n
