MozUp collaborates with the government, private sector and civil society to build the capacity of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to become competitive and capable suppliers in all growing sectors of the Mozambican economy, contributing to the overall economic development of the country.

Sponsored by Area 4 Partners of the Rovuma Basin, MozUp serves as a platform to develop qualified, competitive Mozambican businesses by providing tailored business development services fit for the Mozambican context. It emphasises business ethics, anti-corruption measures and global best practices in governance, controls, policies and quality management systems as key pillars to successful business and economic development. MozUp has partnered with institutions such as The Ethics Institute (South Africa), as well as public and private sector entities and civil society, to maximise the reach and impact of MozUp’s activities.

Since its launch, MozUp has provided training to over 4,400 participants from Mozambican companies. It has gained government support, engaged key private sector players and experienced many successes. These include several companies reporting more efficient and effective business processes, new contract awards and additional access to financial products and services, as well as new local partnerships.
