Mozambican President Daniel Chapo met with Africa50 CEO Alain Ebobissé on Wednesday in a high-level engagement aimed at boosting infrastructure investment across key sectors of Mozambique’s economy.
The talks, held in Seville, come just weeks before the annual Africa50 Shareholders Meeting set to take place in Maputo on 13 August 2025.
During the meeting, Ebobissé presented a portfolio of investment proposals focused on energy, transport, and digital infrastructure, signaling Africa50’s intent to strengthen its collaboration with the Mozambican government.
“We discussed concrete projects in the energy sector, the transport sector, and ICT.
These are critical areas where we believe Africa50 can support Mozambique’s development agenda,” said Ebobissé following the discussions.
Africa50, an investment platform co-owned by 33 African nations and the African Development Bank (AfDB), is positioning itself as a major player in accelerating the continent’s infrastructure development.
For Mozambique, the partnership represents an opportunity to scale up long-term growth through targeted investments in national priority sectors.
President Chapo welcomed the proposals and reiterated his administration’s commitment to leveraging strategic partnerships to transform the country’s infrastructure landscape.
Mozambique’s hosting of Africa50’s Annual General Shareholders Meeting in August is seen as a significant step in showcasing the nation’s investment potential to global stakeholders.
The summit is expected to draw a high-profile audience, including African heads of state, ministers of finance, global investors, and development partners.
Officials hope the event will help position Maputo as a regional hub for infrastructure financing and economic transformation.
The Seville meeting follows earlier engagements between President Chapo and Africa50 leadership, with both parties aligning on the urgent need for collaborative financing solutions to address infrastructure deficits across the continent.
As preparations intensify for the Maputo summit, Mozambique continues to seek robust partnerships that will unlock its economic potential and deliver sustainable benefits to its population.
