The transition from the Oil for Development (OfD) program to the Energy for Development (EfD) program reflects a shift towards addressing global sustainability challenges and integrating renewable energy solutions into the national framework. This partnership is crucial for enhancing governance practices and regulatory excellence in Mozambique&#8217;s oil sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know Mozambique&#8217;s National Petroleum Institute (INP) is enhancing its technical capacity for upstream supervision in collaboration with Norway&#8217;s Offshore Directorate (NOD).
