Mozambique Advances Rural Internet Access with New Connectivity Project

Mozambique’s government has initiated a comprehensive program aimed at transforming internet accessibility in its rural regions. By inviting telecom providers-both domestic and international-to submit bids, the initiative seeks to deploy cutting-edge network infrastructure that will connect remote communities. This effort is designed to reduce the digital disparity between urban and rural areas, fostering enhanced communication channels and unlocking new economic prospects for millions of Mozambicans.

The project prioritizes several critical objectives:

  • Expanding 4G and introducing 5G networks beyond metropolitan zones
  • Equipping schools and healthcare centers with dependable internet services
  • Implementing environmentally responsible installation techniques tailored for ecologically sensitive locations

To ensure fairness and efficiency, the government has outlined clear submission guidelines for interested telecom operators:
