The Mozambican Ministry of Natural Resources, led by minister Max Tonela, has recently issued a tender call for a consulting company to advise him on the controversial issue of local content. According to our sources, the tender call has been issued at the request of local content task force head Henrique Cossa, who is also an adviser to the minister. The mission will be entirely financed by the World Bank as part of its mining and gas technical assistance project.
