EIF is supporting Mozambique's development of trade policies, to strengthen the country’s participation in regional and global markets.

As part of EIF's partnership with the country, Mozambique successfully leveraged trade-related priorities, notably with US$470,000 in USAID support to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to revise the Mozambican Trade Policy and Strategy, hire trade advisors, pursue capacity‑building activities and participate in international trade negotiations.
