Mozambique is represented at the 3rd Summit on Financing Infrastructure Development in Africa, taking place in Luanda, Angola, from October 28 to 31. The event brings together African leaders, international investors, and institutional representatives with the aim of accelerating funding for key continental projects within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
According to an official statement, the Mozambican delegation is led by the Minister of Public Works, Housing and Water Resources, Fernando Rafael, and includes senior officials from the Ministries of Finance, Economy, Planning and Development, Transport and Logistics, as well as the Central Office for Reforms and Strategic Projects.
Under the theme “Capital, Corridors, Commerce: Investing in Infrastructure for the African Continental Free Trade Area and Shared Prosperity”, the summit is co-organized by the African Union Commission and the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD). The meeting focuses on investment opportunities in infrastructure aligned with the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA), highlighting cross-border transport corridors, energy, digital transformation, water supply, and climate-resilient urban development.
During the four-day event, Mozambique will participate in two high-level panels centered on African integration and connectivity, cross-border railway financing, sustainable models for water and sanitation service delivery, and mobilization of domestic capital, with a special focus on sovereign and pension funds.
Participation in the summit reflects the Mozambican Government’s commitment to promoting a coordinated approach to financing strategic infrastructure, enhancing the country’s economic competitiveness, and deepening regional integration through sustainable, inclusive, and resilient investments.
