The Northern Integrated Development Agency (ADIN) has launched an “innovative” digital platform designed to centralize and monitor reconstruction and employment projects in the provinces of Cabo Delgado, Nampula, and Niassa, aiming to strengthen coordination between the government, partners, and the private sector.
The launch took place during the agency’s first seminar, under the theme “Harmonization of Coordination Mechanisms to Accelerate Reconstruction and Development in the North”, held on Friday, November 7, in Pemba. The event was attended by government officials, UN agencies, private sector representatives, and technical partners.
According to ADIN, the new tool will centralize project data, track execution in real time, and facilitate connections between ministries, partners, and local actors, reducing fragmented interventions and promoting greater transparency.
Currently in a pilot phase, “the portal aggregates information on financial execution, progress indicators, and project locations”, helping to avoid duplication and align development actions in areas heavily affected by instability and unemployment.
“Transparency and traceability are essential for this transformation. Our commitment is to ensure that every cent invested by our partners translates effectively into development,” said Jacinto Loureiro, ADIN President, adding: “This platform will allow us to monitor initiatives in real time and ensure efficient and responsible use of resources.” The decision to digitize project monitoring comes amid growing pressure to boost job creation and strengthen professional training in the country’s northern regions.
A World Bank report, published in February 2025, indicated that the northern region remains poorly integrated into national value chains, despite significant investments in infrastructure and natural resource exploitation.
The platform launch coincides with increased investments in rebuilding areas affected by armed conflict in Cabo Delgado, which for years compromised the livelihoods of thousands of families.
In July this year, the African Development Bank (AfDB) approved $17 million (1.08 billion meticais) for the RISE-PS project (Resilient Investment for Socioeconomic Empowerment, Peace, and Security), which plans to create 24,000 jobs, 60% for youth and 50% for women, directly benefiting over 100,000 people.
