President Daniel Chapo has held talks with the President of the Global Africa Investment Summit, Akinwumi Adesina, on a proposal aimed at mobilising private capital by transforming key national assets into investor-ready projects.
The discussions focused on Mozambique’s potential participation in a programme that would package strategic assets—including energy resources, minerals and ports—to attract international investors.
President Chapo said; “the initiative is part of a broader development strategy designed to harness the country’s resources to drive economic growth while reducing reliance on external borrowing.”
“We received the President of the Global Africa Investment Summit, Akinwumi Adesina, to discuss a development strategy based on enhancing national assets,” Chapo said.
He said that leveraging domestic resources could help the country unlock new investment opportunities and strengthen long-term economic stability.
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 Mozambique’s 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.
