President Daniel Chapo met with Global Africa Investment Summit (GAIS) Akinwumi Adesina to discuss Mozambique’s potential participation in a programme that would mobilise private capital by packaging national assets – including energy resources, minerals and ports – into investor‑ready projects.
Chapo said the talks focused on a development strategy that leverages Mozambique’s own assets to attract investment and reduce reliance on external debt.
“We received the president of the Global Africa Investment Summit, Akinwumi Adesina, to discuss a development strategy based on the enhancement of national assets,” Chapo said.
The meeting, announced on Chapo’s official X account, came as the country continues to recover from recent floods.
Adesina expressed solidarity with victims and praised Mozambican leadership and the resilience of the population.
Officials said the discussions also considered Mozambique’s ambition to position itself as a regional energy and logistics hub and the practical steps needed to de‑risk public assets for investors.
GAIS, co‑founded by Adesina and Margery Kraus – founder and executive chair of US-based public affairs and advocacy consultancy APCO – aims to convert public assets into de‑risked, investment‑ready portfolios to catalyse private investment across Africa.
