Mozambique

The Mozambique ICT Institute (MICTI) is one of the prioritized projects in the Action Plan for the country’s ICT implementation Strategy that was developed in 2000.

There is a great demand for education in Mozambique. E-learning technologies are still to be introduced and make part of the national strategy for ICT policy implementation. In comparison with the first world, many students lack access to tools and a proper study environment. The objective of this project is to establish an E-learning Centre in order to:
• Facilitate flexible e-learning solutions and access to new learning technologies
• Offer a structured and professional study environment
• Stimulate the interest for software application and development through computer games
• Facilitate LAN gaming and access to educational games
• Facilitate access to Internet
• Create an environment that stimulates innovation and entrepreneurship within the area of ICT

The E-Learning Centre will consist of; 1) E-Learning, 2) Internet Café and 3) LAN games.

The centre will be situated within the Eduardo Mondlane University area, and will facilitate serious studies as well as Internet surfing and gaming, and serve as a resource centre for distance learning initiatives within UEM. The centre aims to be self-sustainable within short to medium term, given that the initial infra-structure is supplied by an external party. MICTI is fully responsible for implementing the centre according to the below work plan.

Without knowing and registering the population, a nation cannot facilitate its citizens with government services in an efficient and effective manner. Mozambique has no central register of its population nor has each citizen a unique personal number. There are various ID documents/cards issued (i.e. election card, military card, health card, driver license, passports) by various agencies belonging to different ministries, and for each type of document/card separate and non-linked numbering is applied.
