- On their final day in Mozambique, MEPs learned that 6% of GDP goes to education in Mozambique but the needs are rising much faster than the budget can cope. Teacher training, pupil retention, quality of education but also basic infrastructure needs for schools are the focus.
Replying to @EP_DevelopmentMozambique’s foreign minister emphasised the important of EU support for training the defense forces and for the national inclusive dialogue. MEPs advocated for the need to step up the response to the situation in the North, to provide jobs and perspective for young people there

- The @EP_Development mission to Mozambique started today. "We are here to see how EU - Mozambique cooperation delivers. My message to our partners is: You can count on Europe!" delegation chair Hilde Vautmans said at a meeting of Team Europe, UN & like-minded partners.
Replying to @EP_DevelopmentMalnutrition is a major underlying cause of child deaths in Mozambique and in the North 800 000 people are accutely food insecure. @EP_Development MEPs witnessed how NutriNorte with WFP and UNICEF brings relief and prevention of malnutrition in the provincial hospital in Pemba.
Mozambique is very vulnerable to natural disasters and climate change. Cyclones, floods & drought hit repeatedly. The EU supports the country's INGD to anticipate and manage shocks, though according to UN agencies funds are lacking for partners to build true resilience.
