INIP will be responsible for its own activities.
Expected outcomes
There are many positive expected outcomes, both at the economic, social and institutional levels:
- from an economic point of view, the project will strengthen shrimp production, sale and exports, hence contributing to the improvement of financial and institutional sustainability of the main shrimp farms in the country. In the long term, shrimp farming may constitute, for Mozambique, an important financial resource;
- from a social perspective, in the areas where farms are established, general situation will be subsequently improved, especially thanks to job creation;
- from an institutional level, the project will enhance capacity within INAQUA and INIP, as well as it will, through APCM, build private sector actors' capacities. The set-up of a public/private partnership forum will improve public/private dialogue.
