The blue economy in Mozambique involves a large number of sectors and institutions, and the governance of the country’s marine and coastal resources is highly complex, requiring coordination on a scale seen in few other areas of the national economy. The Government of Mozambique is promoting several reforms towards better management of ocean and marine resources, as well as, a better institutional alignment around the Ministry of Sea, Inland Waters and Fisheries (MIMAIP). MIMAIP is currently drafting a blue economy strategy covering fisheries resources, energy, maritime transport, biodiversity conservation, tourism and security issues as a priority, and would include an oversight by a consultative inter-ministerial body.
The specific objective of the assignment is to provide technical and support assistance to the donor coordination in Mozambique and to the EU Delegation to Mozambique in support of an enhanced strategic and operational dialogue in the area of Blue economic development and decision-making.
