FAZSOI participate in specialised Maintenance Programme

Maputo, Mozambique - During the last weeks the technical capabilities of the Mozambican Defence Armed Forces (FADM) where reinforced with the support of the French Armed Forces in the Southern Indian Ocean Zone (FAZSOI), with the participation in a specialised Maintenance Programme.

The specialised Maintenance Programme, promoted by the European Union Military Assistance Mission in Mozambique (EUMAM MOZ), took place at the FADM Military Driving School in Maputo, between 17^th of September and 2^nd of October, bringing together 16 FADM military personnel directly involved in maintenance services.

The participants developed both practical and theoretical skills in the technical field of automotive maintenance, with special support of three French military personnel from the FAZSOI, who deliver the training sharing their expertise.

This training initiative enables the FADM participants to reinforce their autonomy and self-sufficiency in maintaining operational equipment - a key element in ensuring the readiness and sustainability of the Mozambican Armed Forces.

The collaboration between EUMAM MOZ, FAZSOI and the FADM is a clear example of how international cooperation contributes to strengthening local capacities, promoting peace, security, and operational excellence in the region. These joint efforts reflect the shared commitment of the European Union, France and Mozambique to developing the technical and human resources essential to ensuring progress in the fields of defence and security.
