The Ministry of Planning and Development (MPD) is holding its second Coordinating Council from 11 to 13 November in Matola, Maputo province, under the theme “For a Transformative Planning Focused on Results and Impact on the Socio-Economic Development of the Country.”

The opening ceremony will be led by the Minister of Planning and Development, Salim Valá, and will gather approximately 120 participants, including senior officials, representatives from supervised institutions, and provincial planning officers, according to a press release.

The event aims to discuss strategic development priorities for 2027 while evaluating the results achieved this year, which has been characterised by economic slowdown, fiscal constraints, climate shocks, and the pressing need to create more employment and income opportunities.

The Coordinating Council will focus on central issues related to the country’s economic future, particularly the transformation of wealth from natural resources into tangible economic results, the improvement of public policy effectiveness, and the strengthening of mechanisms to promote investment and local development.
