The aim of this report is to stimulate and contribute to a discussion about the best strategies for ensuring that ICTs are serving local and national development in the broadest sense in Mozambique. In a developing country such as Mozambique, it could be considered legitimate to see the concept of ICTs for Development (ICT4D) as synonymous with ICT policy as a whole, given that the goal of the programmes implemented in every sector is socio-economic development and poverty reduction. This is true, up to a point. However, this study focuses on an issue believed to be fundamental for development, namely an enquiry into, and proposals for, the necessary steps to achieve true digital inclusion.
