In the framework of the implementation of the Mozambique LNG Project’s Local Content Plan, capacity building is the process by which individuals and organizations gain, improve, and retain skills, competencies, and tools to leverage their competitiveness. The CapacitaMoz platform aims to house all capacity building initiatives related to Mozambican Micro, Small and Medium-sized companies, citizens, and public institutions.

The platform also supports the dissemination of information that is relevant to the knowledge of the Mozambican business community.
