Who we are
A Mozambican advisory firm working to international standards
Grupo PACO advises operators, investors, institutions and suppliers on Local Content, Procurement, Supply Chain and Supplier Development — the disciplines that decide whether a project creates lasting local value or simply passes through.
Founder-led and bilingual, we combine regulatory understanding with procurement practice, and back both with a published curriculum and an online academy.

A local partner that speaks the language of international operators

01
Regulatory fluency
We work daily with Mozambique's local content and procurement environment, and translate it into decisions your teams can act on.
02
Institutional standing
We convene the sector alongside national institutions and industry bodies rather than commenting from the sidelines.
03
Capability, not dependency
Every engagement transfers method and documentation to your team through our academy and structured curriculum.
04
Bilingual by design
Deliverables, workshops and supplier engagement in Portuguese and English, written — never machine-translated.
How we work
A disciplined, four-stage engagement
The same method whether the scope is a single tender or a multi-year localisation programme.
01
Diagnose
We map obligations, spend, suppliers and gaps against the standards your project is measured on.
02
Design
We build the strategy, governance and documentation — practical, defensible and specific to your operation.
03
Deliver
We support execution: tenders, supplier qualification, capacity building and stakeholder engagement.
04
Transfer
We train your team and hand over tools, so the capability stays with you after we leave.
Evidence
Evidence, not claims
Our credibility is built on published work, institutional partnerships, and public recognition.
