The overarching goal of the expanding partners to support greater socio-economic development in cabo delgado annual program statement (APS) is to support greater socio-economic development in cabo delgado province through elevated local leadership, innovative and creative ideas, and better leverage of its own resources to achieve and expand sustainable, development objectives identified by the province. A key feature of the APS is to pursue this objective through the use of new and underutilized partners who are intended to: (1) strengthen economic pathways, particularly for youth, (2) promote recovery from natural disasters, and (3) strengthen information sharing platforms. The use of new and underutilized partners supports USAID's initiative in mozambique to achieve greater self-reliance for the country, through an increased and more effective network of national stakeholders who can attain sustainable and resilient results while building more effective partnerships at the local level for greater impact.
