Data Analyst

Background

In Mozambique, through the cooperation portfolio 2023-2028, Enabel aims at consolidating the lessons learned over the past 20 years while supporting emerging themes. The €25 million portfolio aims at supporting the country in achieving its low carbon, just and inclusive development pathway and energy transition by fostering a multi stakeholder integrated approach based on local needs, national priorities, and global trends. Additionally, the government of Mozambique recently signed the agreement to convert Belgium's public debt for climate action (Debt for Climate swap) in the amount of € 2.4 million, which will strengthen result 2 associated with losses and damages. This means that the BE-MOZ portfolio is comprised of three interlinked and complementary projects. Climate is the underpinning theme in the portfolio with a focus on 3 public services (water, waste, energy) as well as fostering the dialogue on energy transition and working on losses and damages;

• The first project focuses on a multi-stakeholder approach and aims to develop the local experience and expertise in climate-proof public services related to losses and damages, access to energy, access to water as well as waste management and circular economy to improve the living conditions of the local communities on the one hand, and on the other hand, to feed the overarching component related to policy dialogue.
• The second project is a study, expertise, and preparation facility, which will act as a 2 catalyst for the mobilisation of climate finance for national priorities within the priority sectors of the main project.
• Lastly, the third project is the debt-for-climate swap, which aims to develop local experience and knowledge in loss and damage, through the installation and modernization of the early warning system and preparation of local communities to reduce the risk of disaster.

Thanks to Enabel’s capacities and agility the Agency in Mozambique is also implementing projects for other donors:

• Public Financial Management for Service Delivery in the health sector (Government of Flanders)
• Waste and circular economy at the municipal level (Mitigation Action Facility)
• Sustainable Water Infrastructure (Brussels Capital Region)
