Global Gateway in Mozambique
© European Union, 2024
Global Gateway is the European strategy to boost smart, clean and secure connections in digital, energy and transport sectors, and to strengthen health, education and research systems across the world. Through a 'Team Europe approach', Global Gateway brings together the EU, its Member States and their financial and development institutions to mobilise the private sector to leverage investments promoting sustainable growth.
Between 2021 and 2027, Team Europe is mobilising up to €300 billion of investments for sustainable, transformational and high-quality projects, taking into account the needs of partner countries and ensuring lasting benefits for local communities. This allows EU’s partners to create resilient and sustainable societies and economies, but also create opportunities for the EU Member States’ private sector to invest and remain competitive, whilst ensuring the highest environmental and labour standards, as well as sound financial management.
Global Gateway offer in Mozambique
The Global Gateway initiative, covering 2021-2024, has allocated €162 million to strengthen Mozambique's development. These investments and programs primarily focus on:
Accelerating the Green Transition. This aligns with the "Growing Green" priority area and includes investments such as:
- Renewable Energy - Construction of a National Control Centre for Energy Infrastructure (€57 million). This contributes to increasing the production and distribution of renewable energy, strengthening access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy.
- Blue Economy - Sustainable Blue Economy Initiative (€35 million). This supports sustainable economic opportunities connected to Mozambique’s coastal resources.
Accelerating Sustainable Growth and Decent Job Creation. Supported through:
- Digitalization - VaMoz Digital! (€10 million). This investment likely aims to improve digital connectivity and access, which is crucial for economic growth and job creation in the digital economy.
Improving Education, Training and Research. This closely aligns with the "Growing Youth" priority area:
- Education - Supporting Education Reform in Mozambique (€60 million). This investment contributes to providing quality education and training for children and youth, enhancing their opportunities in the labour market.
By aligning with Mozambique's key development priorities and focusing on strategic investments in areas like renewable energy, the blue economy, digitalization, education, and governance, the Global Gateway aims to contribute to a sustainable and inclusive future for Mozambique.
