Mozambique Approves 20-Year National Development Strategy Amid Economic Challenges

New Vision for a Prosperous Middle-Income Nation

Mozambique’s Parliament has officially approved a new 20-year national development strategy, outlining the country’s vision to become a prosperous middle-income nation. The strategy emphasizes equity, security, sustainability, and competitiveness as key priorities for the population’s well-being.

This new framework replaces the previous 2015-2035 development plan, which the government deemed outdated due to shifting political and economic conditions.

Challenges Ahead: Security and Economic Stability

Despite the ambitious strategy, significant hurdles remain. Security in Cabo Delgado province continues to be unstable, even with the deployment of additional Rwandan troops last year. Furthermore, Mozambique faces severe financial constraints, struggling to pay public sector salaries on time, let alone fund critical development projects.

The country’s reliance on donor funding for essential sectors like healthcare and education is becoming increasingly precarious, as international support dwindles.
