Cabo Delgado

Cabo Delgado is a province located in the northernmost part of Mozambique, bordered by the Indian Ocean to the east and the neighboring countries of Tanzania to the north and Malawi to the west. The province is known for its rich natural resources, including natural gas and minerals, which have attracted both local and international investments. The capital of Cabo Delgado is Pemba, a coastal city renowned for its beautiful beaches and vibrant culture.

The region is home to a diverse population, comprising various ethnic groups and cultures, which contribute to the area’s unique social fabric. Traditional fishing and agriculture are key economic activities for many residents, while tourism has grown due to its scenic landscapes and historical sites. Ecological diversity is also prominent in Cabo Delgado, with several protected areas that host a variety of wildlife and plant species.

In recent years, Cabo Delgado has faced challenges, particularly due to an insurgency that began in 2017, leading to insecurity and humanitarian crises. The conflict has displaced thousands of people and drawn attention from national and international organizations seeking to provide aid and restore stability. Efforts continue to address the underlying issues, promote peace, and sustain development in this strategically important region.
