The event is part of Rádio Moçambique's celebrations, which include a series of radio broadcasts under the theme "challenges and perspectives of digital transformation." The broadcasts aim to promote debate on the current state of the radio sector and the opportunities and challenges presented by digital technologies. The event will also feature the presentation of a project to create an international channel for Rádio Moçambique.
The transformation of public media in Mozambique requires greater articulation in the fight against disinformation, according to the president of the Rádio Moçambique Administrative Council. This statement was made recently, highlighting the need for public media to adapt to the changing media landscape and to find new ways to engage with audiences.
Rádio Moçambique has been accelerating its digitalization process in recent years, with a focus on modernizing its services and improving its online presence. The station has also been working to strengthen its investigative capabilities, particularly in the area of science and technology. This includes a recent initiative to promote research on antibiotic resistance.
Mozambique has seen a significant increase in cybercrime in recent years, with over 35,000 cases reported in the last year alone. The government has been working to strengthen its cybersecurity capabilities and to raise awareness about the risks associated with cybercrime. This includes a recent initiative to develop a national cybersecurity strategy.
The digital transformation of public media in Mozambique is also being driven by the development of new technologies and platforms. For example, the Port of Maputo is set to launch a unified digital platform by 2028, which will provide a range of services and information to users. Similarly, the Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INAM) has been working to develop a digital system for providing early warnings in five national languages.
The modernization of public services in Mozambique is also a key priority for the government, with a focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of services. This includes the development of a new Portal do Cidadão, which will provide citizens with access to a range of public services and information. The government has also been working to strengthen its environmental licensing capabilities, including the launch of a new system for environmental licensing.
