The Communications Regulatory Authority of Mozambique (INCM) has reported impressive progress in implementing its 2025 Activity Plan, with approximately 87% of objectives achieved by November — significantly up from a 61% completion rate last year.
This progress reflects notable advancements across multiple areas, including regulation, enforcement, consumer protection, service quality, network expansion, digital inclusion, international engagement, internal management modernisation, and institutional capacity building.
In terms of technological development, INCM successfully carried out experimental 5G deployments in all provincial capitals, setting the stage for broader connectivity and positioning Mozambique for future digital demands. Looking ahead, the 2026 Activity Plan, which is awaiting Board approval and ministerial submission, sets out ambitious goals aimed at fostering a more dynamic, innovative, and consumer-focused communications sector. These include strengthening regulatory clarity and independence, improving consumer services, expanding accessibility and connectivity, enhancing the security and resilience of telecom infrastructure, promoting innovation and technological progress, and streamlining institutional management.
Government officials have emphasised the importance of these efforts in advancing the country’s digital transformation. The Secretary of State in Inhambane highlighted that INCM’s strategic planning and execution support Mozambique’s broader agenda of expanding coverage, enhancing service quality, and reducing digital disparities between urban and rural areas. The provincial Governor praised INCM’s achievements in expanding connectivity and digitalisation across Inhambane, noting that nearly all localities now have access to communication services.
INCM leadership called on all stakeholders to demonstrate collective commitment, efficiency, and focus to successfully realise the objectives outlined in the Activity Plan. As part of its corporate social responsibility initiatives, INCM is also supporting digital inclusion by providing Muela Secondary School in Inhambane with 33 computers, accessories, internet extension devices, and a fully equipped installation room through the Internet in Schools Project, further fostering equitable access to digital opportunities.
