In Mozambique, a new portfolio was signed in 2024 with main thematic on Climate Resilience and several other programs are implemented for other donors mostly related to Climate as well.

Enabel’s cooperation programme 2024-2029 aims to link different areas of climate-related activities, from delivery of climate-proof public services to the most vulnerable populations in Mozambique to transitioning to low-carbon energy pathways. In doing so, the cooperation programme will contribute to the National Development Strategy 2015-2035.
