Problem: The Mozambican government does not yet have sufficient planning and steering capacities to utilise the extractive sector as an engine for sustainable development. Above all, there is a lack of qualified, efficient mining supervision to improve mining safety, health, labour and environmental protection as well as the implementation of sufficient control and sanction measures.
Project objective: Further development of administrative competences in Mozambican mining supervision through knowledge transfer and exchange of experience with specialised institutions and by supporting the establishment of further training structures in Mozambique, particularly in the three subject areas of mine rescue and gas protection:
- Mine defence and gas protection
- Blasting in mining
- Technical safety, occupational safety and environmental protection in small-scale mining
Target group: Specialists and managers of the national mining inspectorate and provincial inspectorates as well as mining-related institutions in Mozambique
