New bridge unites Mozambique

The completion of a long-awaited project is creating national unity. A strategically important bridge is expected to stimulate growth in a region that has long suffered from extreme poverty.

Our work in Mozambique

Mozambique is one of Sweden’s main countries for cooperation within its work with development aid. The reason for this is the Mozambique government’s methodical work on poverty issues. We are now extending our cooperation to support the country’s continued efforts in the fight against poverty.
