The Africa Warehousing Scheme (AWS) has been introduced by Government as per Budget 2020/21. The objective of the scheme is to provide a subsidy on the rental and administrative costs of warehouses in selected African countries, so as to support access and increase competitiveness of locally manufactured products in these markets. Government supports the first two years of operations of “Made in Mauritius” warehouses, on a cost-sharing basis between Government (60%) and the private sector (40%).

This call for expression of interest aims at gauging the interest of Mauritian manufacturing enterprises to embark on the AWS for Mozambique, while at the same time taking cognizance of their requirements in terms of warehousing facilities.

Interested parties can download the questionnaire here, which should be duly completed and submitted to the Economic Development Board on manufacturingtraditional@edbmauritius.org by 20^th January 2021.
