Mozambique: United Nations (UN) torture prevention body to visit the second time

Source: APO – Report:

.

The UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture (SPT) is scheduled to visit Mozambique for the second time from 20 to 30 October 2025 to assess the country’s implementation of its previous recommendations.

“We are looking forward to evaluate how the Government of Mozambique has acted on the recommendations we made nearly a decade ago, following our 2016 visit,” said Chris Nissen, head of the SPT delegation. “We also look forward to seeing how the country’s national mechanism for preventing torture has improved in its structure and work.”

Mozambique ratified the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (OPCAT) in 2013.

During this mission, the delegation will visit prisons, police stations and other places where people are detained. It will meet with Government and other State officials, representatives of civil society and UN agencies. The delegation will also hold meetings and conduct joint visits with the Mozambican anti-torture watchdog, the National Human Rights Commission (Comissão National dos Direitos Humano), the official National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) of the country.

At the end of the visit, the delegation will present its confidential preliminary observations orally to the Government of Mozambique and to the National Preventive Mechanism. The SPT will then issue a report for the State Party, which will remain confidential until the national authorities request that it be made public, as was the case with the first report, which was welcomed.

Since it began operating in 2007, the SPT has been mandated to visit all States Parties to the OPCAT and to conduct unannounced visits to any places where people are or may be deprived of their liberty. To date, 95 States have ratified the Optional Protocol.

The SPT delegation will be composed of Andrew Christoffel NISSEN, Head of Delegation (South Africa), Uju AGOMOH (Nigeria), Paul LAM SHANG LEEN (Mauritius and Julia KOZMA (Austria), together with two Human Rights Officers from the SPT Secretariat.

World Food Day and the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty were observed at the national level today at Hotel Mai-Nefhi under the respective themes “Hand in Hand for Better Food and a Better Future” and “Empowering Communities through Climate Change Action and Food Security Initiatives to Eradicate Poverty and Foster Prosperity.”

The conference was attended by Ministers, senior Government and PFDJ officials, members of the diplomatic community, heads of UN offices in Eritrea, as well as invited guests.

In his keynote address, Mr. Tekleab Misgina, Director General of Regulatory Services at the Ministry of Agriculture, said that this year’s observance is particularly significant for Eritrea. He noted that Eritrea reaffirms its commitment to food security not only as a national priority but also as a cornerstone of its development strategy.

Mr. Tekleab went on to state that the Government of Eritrea is working tirelessly to modernize traditional agricultural practices by introducing new technologies while preserving its heritage. The focus, he said, is on increasing productivity, diversifying crops, and promoting sustainable agricultural techniques that safeguard the environment.

In a video message, Dr. Qu Dongyu, Director-General of FAO, and Ms. Ariella Glinni, FAO Representative in Eritrea, said that FAO’s work is guided by the principles of “Better Production,” “Better Nutrition,” “Better Environment,” and “Better Life.” They noted that these principles resonate with the Ministry of Agriculture’s roadmap and provide a strong foundation for aligning efforts to build resilient national agrifood systems.

Dr. Pa Lamin Beyai, UNDP Resident Representative in Eritrea, for his part, expressed readiness to work in line with Eritrea’s development priorities.

Egypt: Minister of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation Participates in a Number of Events during the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB) Annual Meetings

Source: APO – Report:

“Al-Mashat”: 

• We appreciate the World Bank’s efforts for integration among its organizations, which enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of work and offers more integrated solutions to member countries.

• The country platform for the “NWFE” program established an integrated model for finance, technical support, and international partnerships based on state ownership.

• More than $4.5 billion in funding for the private sector within the program, and signing of power purchase agreements for 8.25 GW of renewable energy out of a targeted total of 10 GW.

As part of her ongoing participation in the Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, H.E. Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, Minister of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation, participated in two panel discussions organized by the Center for Global Development (CGD), to discuss the role of International Financial Institutions (IFIs) in addressing current global challenges, as well as country platforms for boosting the effectiveness of development efforts.

The first session, was moderated by Sir Masood Ahmed, CGD President emeritus, and attended by Axel van Trotsenburg, World Bank Managing Director of Development Policy and Partnerships, and Bertrand Dumont, Director General of the French Treasury. Dr. Rania Al-Mashat emphasized that middle-income countries are working to support less developed countries through their contributions to the International Development Association (IDA).

Dr. Rania Al-Mashat reaffirmed that development finance is no longer directed solely towards financing specific projects, but is being directed towards policy-based financing and fostering the role of the private sector, while also highlighting the importance of the “One World Bank Group” concept, which aims to achieve cooperation, coordination, and integration among the World Bank Group organizations, in order to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of work, and offer more integrated solutions to address global challenges and support development in member countries.

Dr. Al-Mashat added that the world today is witnessing new financing patterns, such as debt-for-development swaps, which can be implemented at the bilateral level or within a multilateral framework. She noted that middle-income countries are presenting an important model and a useful experience for how to use financing tools in different and more efficient ways.

Dr. Al-Mashat stressed that responsibility in the current phase does not fall solely on international institutions, but also extends to include national efforts and internal reforms. She highlighted that the world is currently witnessing a broad dialogue about the importance of transitioning towards an investment-led economy, where economic growth is based on attracting productive investments rather than an increasing reliance on debt, as countries share the willingness to reduce public debt levels and limit their burdens on national budgets.

Minister Al-Mashat explained that most countries in the world, including middle-income countries, suffer to varying degrees from the burdens of external and domestic debt, which makes the transition towards more sustainable growth necessary, through the implementation of deep and comprehensive structural reforms that affect the structure of the economy and ensure the enhancement of its efficiency and competitiveness.

Country Platforms

The Minister of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation also participated in a session on country platforms. Dr. Al-Mashat reviewed Egypt’s efforts in attracting climate investments through the implementation of the Country Platform for the “NWFE” program – the nexus of Water, Food, and Energy projects – which served as a model for creating constructive partnerships between various international partners, based on national ownership, to drive green transition efforts.

Dr. Al-Mashat pointed out that the country platform of “NWFE” program changed the concept of how to obtain development financing, by establishing an integrated structure that links policy reform, investment-attractive projects, and financing instruments, which has enabled the local and foreign private sector to obtain concessional financing of more than $4.5 billion to implement renewable energy projects with a capacity of 5.2 GW.

Dr. Al-Mashat mentioned that the total power purchase agreements signed by the government with the private sector under the “NWFE” program reached 8.25 GW out of the program’s total target of 10 GW by 2028, and plans are also underway to halt thermal power plants with a capacity of 5 GW, which enhances Egypt’s direction towards becoming a regional hub for renewable energy.

Minister Al-Mashat underscored that the program includes many financing mechanisms, not only concessional financing but also grants, private investments, debt-for-development swaps, and technical support. She reiterated that multilateral development banks played a pivotal role in providing financing for the implementation of the program’s pillars.

O Ministro da Promoção de Investimentos e Fomento Empresarial e Ministro da Modernização do Estado e da Administração Pública, Eurico Monteiro, presidiu, na manhã desta quinta-feira, 16 de outubro, ao ato de abertura do EmpoderaTech – Cabo Verde International Summit.

O evento, promovido pela Women in Tech Cabo Verde, em parceria com a Agência Reguladora Multissectorial da Economia (ARME), reúne, na Praia, líderes, empreendedoras, investigadores e especialistas das áreas de inovação e tecnologia, para um diá. profundo sobre o papel da mulher na era digital, tendo em vista a promoção do empoderamento feminino e o acesso equitativo às oportunidades no setor tecnológico.

Durante a sua intervenção, o governante destacou a importância das novas tecnologias como instrumento de desenvolvimento sustentável, inclusão social e igualdade de género, sublinhando que Cabo Verde, embora carente de recursos naturais, tem investido de forma consistente na educação, na ciência e na invocação como pilares de crescimento e competitividade.

“Somos um país pobre em recursos naturais e, por isso, dependemos muito mais da formação, dos conhecimentos, da ciência, da tecnologia, pelo que somos obrigados a fazer um esforço maior para que possamos alcançar um patamar razoável e creio que temos feito um bom caminho nesse sentido, melhor até do que alguns outros com recursos naturais, pois temos sido amigos do conhecimento e das novas ferramentas de trabalho, portanto, da tecnologia, desde os primeiros dias da independência”, afirmou o Ministro.

Ainda na ocasião, Eurico Monteiro refletiu sobre os desafios humanos que surgiram a partir desta nova era digital, desde a preservação da identidade e privacidade, até o risco da desumanização das relações, defendendo, deste modo, a necessidade de colocar a tecnologia ao serviço da pessoa, visando a equidade, a igualdade e principalmente a dignidade humana.

Cabo Verde tem registado avanços significativos no setor digital, como forma de priorizar a prestação dos serviços públicos por via digital. A informação foi avançada à imprensa, na manhã desta quinta-feira, 16, pelo Ministro da Modernização do Estado e da Administração Pública, Eurico Monteiro, à margem da abertura do EmpoderaTech – Cabo Verde International Summit, evento promovido pela Woman in Tech Cabo Verde, em parceria com a Agência Reguladora Multissetorial da Economia (ARME), com o objetivo de promover o empoderamento feminino e o acesso equitativo às oportunidades no setor tecnológico.

“O progresso de Cabo Verde nesta área tem sido significativo com várias iniciativas que vão sendo lançadas, como, por exemplo, o Portal da Transparência, que lançamos recentemente e o Portal Único dos Serviços Digitais do Estado, que prevemos lançar muito em breve. O diploma já está no Conselho de Ministros e estamos seguros de que ainda este ano teremos esta importante plataforma, na qual estarão integrados todos os websites dos serviços públicos com o objetivo de garantir a interoperabilidade dos sistemas e imprimir maior eficiente e celeridade na prestação dos serviços públicos, que queremos que sejam prioritariamente por via digital”, afirmou o Ministro.

Ainda no que concerne às iniciativas tecnológicas, o governante sublinhou que o Executivo introduziu, “tanto no orçamento do Estado passado, como neste orçamento”, medidas para favorecimento das novas tecnologias, seja a nível de isenções aduaneiras, seja a nível de benefícios fiscais, “muito significativos”, que estimulam a criação de empresas no setor tecnológico.

Eurico Monteiro reconheceu, no entanto, que, não obstante os avanços, no que refere à equidade de género no setor tecnológico, ainda é possível fazer mais, através das políticas de Estado, mas, particularmente, através de uma certa conscientização da sociedade sobre esta problemática.

Speech by  Deputy Minister Nonceba Mhlauli on the occasion of the engagement with Community Members, Civil Society and Local Leaders, Roodepan, Kimberly

Source: President of South Africa –

Programme Director;
Executive Mayor of Sol Plaatje Local Municipality, Cllr Barbara Bartlett;
MEC for Roads and Public Works, Ms Fufe Makatong;
Executive Mayor of Frances Baard District Municipality, Cllr Wende Marekwa;
Fellow Councillors;
Community Development Workers;
Representatives from SAPS, CPF, Youth Against Crime, and Women Against Crime;
Faith-based leaders, civil society, and business forums;

Good morning, Roodepan community.

Thank you for welcoming us into your home this engagement is not a speech, it is a conversation. The District Development Model is about working together, not talking past one another.

Today, we are here to listen, understand, and act together.

As we meet here today, South Africa holds the Presidency of the G20 a platform of the world’s largest economies. Our Presidency theme, “Inclusive Growth for a Sustainable Future,” reminds us that real progress begins in communities like Roodepan.

The District Development Model is the local engine that turns global commitments into tangible change through jobs for our youth, clean water, functioning infrastructure, and safe neighbourhoods. The conversations we are having in Frances Baard today are part of the same national and global movement to make development people-centred, inclusive, and accountable.

Understanding the DDM

The District Development Model, or DDM, was introduced by President Cyril Ramaphosa to end the silo approach that has slowed service delivery.

It brings all three spheres of Government national, provincial, and local into one plan, one budget, and one accountability framework.

In Frances Baard, the One Plan focuses on:

• Water security and sanitation improvements;
• Human settlements and housing rectification;
• Roads and infrastructure maintenance;
• Youth employment and skills development;
• Building safer and cohesive communities.

Role as District Champion

As your District Champion, my role is to:

• Ensure there is alignment between what is promised and what is delivered.
• Facilitate coordination between departments to unblock delays.
• Ensure that community voices are not only heard but shape government priorities.
• Monitor progress and report back to the Presidency and to you the people.

This means I am accountable to ensure that the One Plan for Frances Baard is not a paper exercise but a living document that delivers change.

Community Priorities and Issues

From the recent GCIS environmental assessment and engagements, we know the issues you face:

• Ageing infrastructure and water shortages in areas like Roodepan, Windsorton, and Pampierstad.
• Delays in housing projects and title deeds.
• Unsafe streets, drug abuse, and lack of youth recreational facilities.
• Poor health service experiences and shortages of medication.
• High electricity costs and frequent outages.

These are not statistics they are your lived experiences. And that is why the DDM approach is so important: it links problems directly with solutions, roles, and resources.

Government Response and Commitments

• The Sol Plaatje Municipality is installing high-mast lights and new taps in Lerato Park.
• Phokwane is distributing water tanks and repairing potholes.
• Magareng is upgrading its water treatment plant.
• The 1 Billion Housing Project launched by President Ramaphosa includes units for Diamond Park and Roodepan.

Our task now is to ensure that these projects are completed, maintained, and serve the people they are meant for.

Partnerships with Civil Society

We cannot govern alone.

Faith-based organisations, NGOs, and business forums here in Roodepan are doing remarkable work  from running soup kitchens to helping young people find purpose.

The DDM recognises that every citizen is a partner in development. Together, we can rebuild trust, fight drugs, create work opportunities, and restore pride in our neighbourhoods.

Listening and Accountability

Today’s meeting is not the end it is the start of ongoing communication.

We will set up regular feedback sessions, so that your issues are captured in the One Plan review and acted upon.

Accountability means: if a pipe bursts, a team responds. If a house cracks, someone is answerable. If youth programmes stall, we fix it  together.

Closing

Frances Baard is a proud and resilient district the economic heart of the Northern Cape. The challenges you face are not insurmountable.

Let us work together, community and Government hand-in-hand, to turn Roodepan into a model of cooperative governance in action.

Because the DDM starts with you the community.

Thank you.
