Another 28 million euros will accelerate the digital economy transition, with a focus on women.
Education and training receive 50 million euros to prepare young people for a digital and sustainable future. Agricultural businesses and green value chains will benefit from 60 million euros.
Economic slowdown
The partnership comes as Mozambique’s economic growth slowed to 0.5% in 2025, according to World Bank data.
Post-election unrest, budget pressures, and foreign currency shortages weigh on the economy. Public spending declined, mainly due to reduced public investment.
The government reduced the budget deficit from 6.1% to 4.1% of GDP, but this limited investment spending and service delivery.
Reforms and cooperation

Mozambique and the EU cooperate across multiple areas, including security, trade, investment, development, humanitarian aid, and political dialogue .
