ADB supports job creation in Mozambique

The African Development Bank (ADB) has paid out USD7 million for employment promotion in Mozambique, the Mozambican Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Solidarity said Tuesday in a statement.
To use the fund, technical staff from the ADB and the Ministry are working to identify the areas that will benefit from the aid, with a view to selecting schemes for job creation and entrepreneurship initiatives, the press release said.
The Mozambican government’s five-year program includes plans to create 1.5 million jobs as part of efforts to reduce unemployment, which affects a majority of the active population in the country.  MDT/Macauhub
