The initiative promises to transform internet access in the country and open up new opportunities for communities previously excluded from the digital age.
More than three hundred rural areas of the country will soon be able to benefit from broadband services, thanks to the implementation of the Mozambique Digital Acceleration Project (PADIM), financed by the World Bank with just over 12 billion meticais (approximately US$200 million).
PADIM's main advantage is the promotion of digital inclusion, creating conditions for more citizens to have access to modern communication services, essential for education, health, commerce, and innovation.
According to the Ministry of Communications and Digital Transformation (MCTD), the project will strengthen the foundations of accelerated digital transformation, enabling the country to position itself competitively in the telecommunications sector.
The network expansion will bring direct benefits to local economies by stimulating e-commerce, facilitating access to digital financial services, and bringing citizens closer to global market opportunities.
Additional advantages of PADIM include the ability to improve the quality of education through distance learning, strengthen healthcare services with remote consultations, and enable small and medium-sized businesses to explore new digital solutions for sustainable growth.
