  He said the project generated about 2,000 jobs in totaand trained workforce, particularly young people, to be in charge of the maintenance and provide assistance to the beneficiaries. The project, covering all the 10 provinces and the capital city of Mozambique, was co-funded by China and implemented by the Chinese electronics and media company StarTimes.

  The project is part of the resolutions of the Johannesburg Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in 2015, in which the Chinese Government pledged to provide satellite television access for 10,000 villages in Africa.
