O seminário apresentou o projecto ONAM à comunidade de Avaliação da Conformidade, destacando o papel crucial do ONAM na infra-estrutura de qualidade e no fortalecimento das garantias ao consumidor. Durante o evento, foi debatido o impacto positivo da acreditação para o desenvolvimento económico e a competitividade de Moçambique, especialmente em sectores essenciais como a saúde, energia e a produção alimentar.
