MAPUTO — Mozambique is stepping up its economic development strategy after the government approved a 2026–2030 Integrated Investment Programme aimed at connecting major infrastructure projects with broader industrialisation objectives.

The programme is designed to bring infrastructure and productive investment closer together, with projects involving strategic assets including the Port of Maputo and the Moamba Special Economic Zone forming part of the wider development approach.

Business leaders see stronger integration between infrastructure and industrial projects as an important opportunity for private-sector growth. Better transport links, industrial zones, and logistics capacity can help companies reduce operating costs and improve access to domestic and regional markets.

The programme also supports Mozambique’s efforts to diversify economic activity beyond traditional resource sectors by encouraging investment in manufacturing, logistics, services, and other productive industries.

Economic analysts say coordinated investment could help attract new domestic and international capital while creating opportunities for local suppliers and small and medium-sized enterprises.

The 2026–2030 programme places industrialisation and investment at the centre of Mozambique’s economic strategy, with infrastructure development expected to provide the foundation for stronger private-sector activity.
