Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique is negotiating its inclusion in the first edition of a Microsoft digital acceleration programme, the US technology company\u2019s management announced on Wednesday, following a meeting in New York with the Mozambican president.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the first year of the programme, it\u2019s a launch year. And we\u2019re trying to identify which countries will go ahead with us. Mozambique, at the moment, is positioned as one of the countries at the forefront in terms of moving forward with the programme,\u201d said Andre\u0301 Araga\u0303o Azevedo, director of Microsoft\u2019s Digital Development Programme, speaking to journalists after a meeting with the Mozambican head of state, Filipe Nyusi.<\/p>\n

According to the manager at the American multinational computer technology corporation , yesterday\u2019s meeting was aimed at \u201cworking together with the government, together with the country\u201d, to promote \u201cthis acceleration of digitalisation in Mozambique and digital opportunities for the Mozambican public\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Microsoft we have created a new programme called the digital development programme. The digital development programme actually aims to support countries in accelerating digitalisation,\u201d added Andre\u0301 Araga\u0303o Azevedo.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt brings a series of benefits, a series of advantages for developing countries, for digitalisation systems and, therefore, we are currently in the process of identifying the first countries we are going to work with, the five countries we are going to work with,\u201d he said, acknowledging Mozambique\u2019s \u201cenormous desire\u201d to enter this programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president has shown this intention and this priority to invest in this issue of digital transformation. And so it was at his request that we actually came to talk and so it is proactively the president who is energising this agenda,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

The Mozambican head of state is visiting the United States, where he spoke on Tuesday at the 78th annual session of the United Nations General Assembly.<\/p>\n

The visit includes the signing of the second financing agreement, totalling US$500 million, with the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) on Thursday at the Capitol in Washington, in the presence of Filipe Nyusi.<\/p>\n
