What You Need to Know<\/h4>\n

Mety Gondola has been sworn in as the chairperson of Mozambique’s Energy Fund (FUNAE), alongside new leaders of the Higher Institute of Health Sciences (ISCISA). Prime Minister Benvinda Levi urged the appointees to enhance electricity access and health training, emphasizing their roles in achieving the government’s 2025-2029 development goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong> <\/span>Prime Minister Benvinda Levi yesterday challenged the new leaders of the Energy Fund (FUNAE) and the Higher Institute of Health Sciences (ISCISA) to speed up the expansion of access to electricity and to reinforce the training of health professionals in the country.<\/p>\n

The guidance was given during the swearing-in ceremony of Mety Gondola as chairperson of FUNAE\u2019s board, Leonardo Chavane as director-general of ISCISA, and No\u0301rgia Machava as deputy director-general of the same institution.<\/p>\n

Levi emphasised that the appointments were based on each individual\u2019s professional background and the need to ensure tangible results. \u201cThe appointment of each of you to lead FUNAE and ISCISA, two strategic institutions for the development of our country, was based on your professional track record,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister stressed that the appointees are now responsible for implementing government policies and strategies and contributing to the execution of the Government\u2019s 2025-2029 Five-Year Programme (PQG).<\/p>\n

In the energy sector, she highlighted FUNAE\u2019s role in promoting sustainable solutions to expand access to electricity, particularly in areas not yet covered by the national grid.<\/p>\n

Currently, around 65% of Mozambique\u2019s population has access to electricity, a result of programmes implemented both through the national grid and isolated systems.<\/p>\n

However, Levi said isolated systems will remain essential to bring power to remote communities. \u201cFUNAE must expand its energy generation capacity, using alternative sources, to reach more citizens in areas not covered by the national grid,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She also highlighted the direct impact of electricity on improving living conditions. \u201cEnergy changes people\u2019s lives, enabling study, easier food preparation, and the storage of perishable products in refrigerators,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Levi recommended that FUNAE\u2019s new leadership focus on programmes contributing to the electrification targets for administrative post headquarters set out in the PQG.<\/p>\n

She stressed the need to strengthen coordination with development partners and the private sector to mobilise investment and accelerate projects. In the health sector, Levi highlighted ISCISA\u2019s role in training qualified technicians for the National Health System.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government created ISCISA to equip Mozambique with highly qualified health professionals, both technically and scientifically,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Since its creation, ISCISA has established itself as a reference institution in public health training, expanding its activities with a branch in Quelimane.<\/p>\n

Addressing the newly appointed leaders, Levi also called for teamwork, integrity, transparency, and good governance. \u201cWe expect you to ensure public resources are managed with rigor and responsibility, prioritising collective interests,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

The Energy Fund (FUNAE) was established to promote sustainable energy solutions in Mozambique, particularly in rural areas lacking access to the national grid. With approximately 65% of the population currently having electricity access, FUNAE’s mission is crucial for improving living standards and supporting economic development. The Higher Institute of Health Sciences (ISCISA) was created to address the need for qualified health professionals in Mozambique’s National Health System, establishing itself as a key institution in public health training since its inception.<\/p>\n
