As a federal enterprise, GIZ supports the German Government in achieving its goals in international cooperation for sustainable development. By sending qualified experts as development workers, GIZ contributes to the lasting improvement of the living conditions of the people on the ground. The programme aims at improving citizen-centred service delivery, financial sustainability and accountability in municipal governance. The programme, which runs until 09/2026, is embedded in the German Development Cooperation Programme Public Finance and Decentralisation in Mozambique. At the national level, policy advice is provided to, among other, the Ministry of Administration and Public Service and an inter-ministerial task force in the drafting and implementation of a National Urban Development Policy. At the sub-national level, the programme strengthens municipal development in four provinces (Inhambane, Nampula, Niassa and Sofala) in increasing own revenue, planning, budgeting and expenditure, HR, internal control, urban planning, administrative and basic service delivery.
