Single Electric Window five years on

In the five years since the

Mozambican Single Electric

Window (SEW) customs

system went live in September

2011 it has collected 127 billion

meticais (R24 bn), according

to a report on MCNet.

The Mozambique

Community Network (MCNet)

is a public private partnership

set up to implement

and operate the SEW in

Mozambique.

MCNet quoted Mozambique

customs deputy directorgeneral,

Ambrósio Orubale,

who was speaking at a business

meeting.

Currently the system covers a

network of 71 locations.

One of the challenges still

facing the system is providing

electronic payment facilities

at remote border posts where

there are no banks, he said.
