Advancing Workplace Protection Through Professional Development in Mozambique

The African Training and Management Services Foundation (ATMS Foundation) and the Mozambican Association of Insurance Companies (AMS) continued their partnership in 2026 with a series of capacity-building initiatives aimed at supporting the development of Mozambique’s insurance sector.Established through an agreement signed, the partnership focuses on developing human resource training programs, strengthening technical capacities and facilitating the transfer of knowledge to support the growth of the public and private insurance sectors.As part of this collaboration, ATMS Foundation and AMS organised a two-day workshop on Occupational Accidents and Diseases.

The Challenge

Occupational accidents and diseases present important technical and regulatory considerations for the insurance sector. Effectively managing workers’ compensation and occupational disease insurance requires a sound understanding of the applicable legal framework, insurance coverage, claims management, fraud prevention and underwriting practices.

Strengthening expertise in these areas is essential to supporting insurance professionals in understanding their obligations, managing risks and applying appropriate insurance practices.

Recognising the importance of continued professional development within the sector, ATMS Foundation and AMS brought together representatives of insurance companies and brokerage firms for a practical learning experience focused on these key areas.

The Solution

Through its partnership with AMS, ATMS Foundation delivered a two-day workshop on Occupational Accidents and Diseases Insurance, covering the legal framework, insurance coverage, claims management, fraud prevention and underwriting guidelines for workers’ compensation insurance.

The workshop combined presentations, practical exercises, discussions and group work to strengthen participants’ understanding of these areas and encourage the exchange of professional knowledge and experience.

Results and Impact

The workshop was successfully completed, achieving a 100% completion rate. All participants fulfilled the theoretical and practical requirements and received official ATMS certificates. Training materials, including relevant guides on workers’ compensation insurance, were also distributed to support continued learning beyond the workshop.

Beyond the successful delivery of the program, the initiative contributed to strengthening professional knowledge and understanding of occupational accident and disease insurance, while encouraging the exchange of experiences and practical perspectives among insurance professionals.

The workshop also marked an important milestone in the ongoing partnership between ATMS Foundation and AMS, reinforcing their shared commitment to professional development, knowledge transfer and capacity building within Mozambique’s insurance sector.

Through this continued collaboration, ATMS Foundation and AMS are reinforcing their commitment to human capital development, knowledge transfer and stronger technical capabilities across Mozambique’s insurance industry.
