An initiative led by Mozambique LNG

CapacitaMoz is the platform designed to house all the initiatives related to Mozambican MSMEs, current or aspiring entrepreneurs, citizens, and institutions’ Capacity Building driven by Mozambique LNG. The origin of its name derives from the Portuguese translation for building capacity, being Capacitamos, and a play on words of the target audience which are Mozambicans, hence, CapacitaMoz.

It's centered around activities and mechanisms aimed at maximizing knowledge and skills transfer to the Government, Mozambican companies, and national citizens.

CapacitaMoz also serves as a hub for parties to access all Mozambique LNG led Capacity Building initiatives and training programs, events, business opportunities, and information regarding the broader market and other business development programs in Mozambique.

CapacitaMoz’s mission is to make a strong impact locally, conduct initiatives that result in positive growth and improvement, and be a reference of high regard in the market when it relates to contributing to building the capacity of Mozambican citizens, companies, and institutions.

Within this mission, CapacitaMoz will house generalized trainings that occur in-person (if permitted by the COVID-19 mandates) and online, allowing for a nationwide reach of participants and to conduct trainings simultaneously.

The implementation of initiatives will be in partnership with Private and Public institutions as the implementation partners.

The Mozambique LNG Local Content division is committed to promoting economic development and national industrialization.
