2 l Sunday, April 3, 2022 J ust as the National Working Group, the coordination of the Cabo Delgado Technical Group will also be done by the Ministry of Justice, Constitutional and Religious Affairs, supported by the Ministry of National Defense, where the Center for Democracy and Development (CDD) will be responsible for the Secretariat, and the Ge- neva Centre for Security Sector Governance (DCAF) providing technical assistance. The effective implementation of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights is supported by the British High Commission in Mozambique and the Swiss Agency for De- velopment Cooperation. The launch of the Provincial Working Group is the result of several months of preparatory meetings and research activities, including research and analysis for a baseline study on the security and human rights situation in Cabo Delgado, and consultations with provincial authorities. Speaking at the cere- mony, the Governor of Cabo Delgado reitera- ted the support and commitment of the local government to the effective implementation of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights. “In supporting this initiative it is in our in- terest that the Provincial Group on Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights be influent so that the current development po- les are accompanied by actions that ensure the participation and involvement of all de- velopment sectors, with emphasis on local ones to avoid asymmetries and therefore, the risks related to security and human righ- ts,” said Valige Tauabo .

In his turn, the Secretary of State of Cabo Delgado said that the launching of the Pro- vincial Technical Working Group represen- ts an opportunity to learn and conform the reconstruction actions of Cabo Delgado to the national and international legal norms that aim to ensure justice and the respect for Human Rights. António Supeia noted that in addition to the implementation of the Re- construction Plan in the areas affected by terrorism, actions are underway to prepare the conditions for the return of populations to their areas of origin. “These actions are carried out taking into ANTÓNIO SUPEIA account the need to safeguard justice and Secretary of State of Cabo Delgado
