The government will implement a road transport monitoring system through an international public tender. The measure aims to address the critical need to improve road safety in the country.
The decision was made by the Council of Ministers, which approved a resolution authorizing the minister responsible for transportation and logistics to proceed with the tender. The goal is to contract services for an Integrated Road Transportation Management and Monitoring System.
According to the spokesperson for the Council of Ministers, Ussene Isse, the initiative will be implemented under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework. “For concession, financing, operation, maintenance, and return to the State,” he explained following the session held this Tuesday, June 9.
Ussene Isse added that the project aims to address collective needs and improve the well-being of the population. He also emphasized the importance of coordination between the public and private sectors in managing the road transport system.
The spokesperson also noted that the measure comes amid a high rate of road accidents in the country. In 2025, Mozambique recorded 611 traffic accidents, resulting in 830 deaths—figures considered alarming by organizations in the sector.
At the same meeting, the Council of Ministers also approved the launch of an international public tender for the concession of the single-stop border infrastructure at Calomue and Zóbue, in Tete Province, on the border between Mozambique and Malawi.
“The project aims to create modern, efficient, and secure one-stop border posts,” stated the government spokesperson, emphasizing that the modernization will also be carried out under a PPP framework, with an impact on the flow of trade and the strengthening of regional integration.
