Mozambique public administration and procurement reforms

Overview

Following public backlash and criticism from the opposition Renamo party regarding the purchase of vehicles for the Constitutional Council, Mozambique’s Ministry of Finance suspended the procurement process. The suspension was initiated by the Functional Procurement Supervision Unit (UFSA) to investigate potential regulatory contraventions and ensure compliance with legal standards.

In a broader move toward administrative reform, the Mozambican Cabinet approved new regulations for civil servant retirement, raising the mandatory age from 60 to 65, with potential extensions up to 70. Additionally, the government established the Central de Aquisições do Estado (CAE), a centralized procurement unit. The CAE will use a single online platform for high-value tenders to increase transparency and facilitate public oversight of state spending.
