The World Bank Group Board of Executive Directors has endorsed a new Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Mozambique covering 2026 to 2031, setting out a five-year program centred on resilience and inclusive growth with an explicit focus on creating more and better jobs. The strategy is framed against Mozambique’s vulnerability to natural disasters and aims to leverage the country’s natural resources and strategic location while aligning with national priorities on economic transformation, institutional strengthening, and expanding opportunities for youth and women. The CPF is structured around four intended outcomes: strengthening macro-fiscal stability, improving workforce skills, expanding energy access and powering economic corridors, and increasing private sector-led jobs in agribusiness and tourism. The World Bank Group expects to mobilize around USD 2.5 billion over the CPF period, using instruments across the group to attract private investment, including guarantees, blended finance, and advisory services, including through initiatives such as Mission 300 and AgriConnect. Separately, the World Bank Group Board of Directors approved Mozambique’s access to around USD 450 million through a Prevention and Resilience Window to help prevent and reduce conflict, address drivers of fragility, and build broader stability over the next few years.
