The Council of Ministers, meeting in another ordinary session, approved on Tuesday 11 March the Government’s Five-Year Programme (PQG) 2025-29, a strategic document that defines the Executive’s priorities and guides the strategic allocation of public resources. It also aims to accelerate inclusive and sustainable economic growth, with a focus on diversifying the economy.Inocêncio Impissa, the government’s spokesman, explained that the PQG will be submitted to Parliament for its consideration, maintaining that it includes job creation, infrastructure modernisation and the rational management of natural resources, whose mission is to reduce poverty, social and spatial inequalities and the country’s economic independence.‘The PQG 2025-29 includes new demands imposed, firstly, by the Mozambican President, Daniel Chapo, and by the electoral manifesto presented during the campaign that preceded the presidential elections on 9 October,’ he said.Impissa recalled that the country had gone backwards a lot because of the demonstrations and the violence, causing major damage in all important sectors. ‘We have gone backwards from the point of view of infrastructure, public tranquillity, respect for institutions and public authority and unity among the population.’‘The values we preserved until just before October 2024 are completely distorted. The social contract with society must be resumed so that peace can be achieved,’ he concluded.Recently, the Executive revealed that more than a thousand infrastructures were destroyed during the general demonstrations. Specifically, 19 factories and industries, 177 schools, 23 commercial warehouses, 1,677 shops and 13 pharmacies were completely damaged.The demonstrators also destroyed 27 health units, 23 ambulances, 293 public buildings, 176 electricity grid posts, 12 electricity transformers, 58 communication towers, 220 state vehicles, 164 government houses and 108 private citizens’ houses.
