Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The new executive director of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), Jorge Moreira da Silva \u2013 a former Portuguese minister \u2013 on Wednesday cited support in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, as an example of partnerships he wants to implement in his new position, uniting public and private sectors.<\/p>\n

In an interview with UN News, Moreira da Silva explained that the \u201cadvantage of UNOPS is this triangulation between the public and the private\u201d and that its mandate is to \u201cincrease the capacity of partners to implement the Sustainable Development Goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike other agencies that have a programme or policy mandate, we don\u2019t,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are basically at the beck and call of the government. We are basically at the beck and call of developing countries, who design their projects, with the support of donors, and we are there to deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n

An example of this, he said, is the project in Cabo Delgado, a province in northern Mozambique, which in recent years has been the scene of violence and attacks by Islamist extremists, who he noted present \u201cvery serious security threats\u201d that have given \u201crise to a huge flow of internal migrants.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is \u201ca very unstable area that continues to have very high levels of instability,\u201d Moreira da Silva said, recalling that the World Bank has allocated \u20ac200 million to UNOPS to oversee \u201ca set of projects in Cabo Delgado that are both development and humanitarian.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the UNOPS director, at the humanitarian level it is \u201csupport for forced migrants, for people who had to leave their homes to other parts of the country to flee war and conflict\u201d to which are added funds to ensure quality of life and well-being, in an agreement with the Mozambique authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not design the policies; we are downstream in the realisation of the projects,\u201d he said. \u201cFunding is mobilised, but someone has to deliver. We materialise and involve the private sector, as a rule, we try to involve the local private sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

An example of this, he said, is the public purchases of these projects, which are mostly allocated to local suppliers, \u201cbecause it is a way of mobilising the local economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not only mobilised for public procurement or infrastructure,\u201d Moreira da Silva stressed. \u201cWe want to create local contexts for business development.\u201d<\/p>\n

With regard to COP30, the international climate meeting to be hosted by Brazil, he said there is a \u201cgreat expectation\u201d in terms of its preparation of COP30, adding that UNOPS has \u201cthe greatest interest in contributing to this agenda\u201d promoted by Brazil\u2019s president Lula da Silva, particularly in the area of energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a paradoxical situation\u201d in this area, such as \u201caccess to energy and the fight against poverty and the decarbonisation of economies,\u201d Moreira da Silva stressed, giving the example of the continent of Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeven hundred million citizens in Africa do not have access to electricity [but] sixty percent of the world\u2019s largest solar energy potential\u201d is on that continent, he pointed out, identifying a paradox in the \u201ccontinent with the greatest lack of access to energy, with the greatest potential for solar energy development and with a tiny share of global investment\u201d in the energy sector.<\/p>\n

In the case of small island states \u201csuch as Cabo Verde and Timor-Leste\u201d \u2013 both Portuguese-language countries \u2013 these countries \u201care strongly threatened by the consequences of climate change [and] face economic, social, migratory problems in addition to the climate problem,\u201d he said, adding that \u201cit seems clear to me that, as far as infrastructure is concerned, there tends to be a big focus on island states and UNOPS is very much geared towards this\u201d \u2013 not least because there is a direct correlation between these issues, within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we do infrastructure right, decarbonising, making it fairer, more inclusive, more accessible, we can meet the SDGs,\u201d he summarised. \u201cIf we continue with today\u2019s continuity scenario, we will not fulfil the SDGs.\u201d<\/p>\n
