Mozambique – Energy for All Programme, Phase 2 — Mozambique

Overview

The Mozambique Energy for All Programme – Phase 2 (MEFA 2) is a results-based financing operation in Mozambique designed to expand electricity access in underserved and vulnerable provinces while strengthening power-sector governance and private-sector participation. The programme builds on the achievements of MEFA 1 and supports both on-grid last-mile electrification and off-grid solar mini-grid solutions. It includes four result areas: (i) increased on-grid access to electricity in underserved provinces, (ii) expanded off-grid electrification and community lighting, (iii) enhanced sector sustainability and private-sector participation, and (iv) governance, institutional strengthening and implementation support. MEFA 2 will finance household and productive-use connections, solar mini-grids with battery storage, MV and LV distribution lines, street lighting, and institutional reforms such as updating the National Electrification Strategy and National Off-Grid Master Plan, improving tariff and IPP frameworks, and strengthening sector institutions including EDM, MIREME, ARENE and FUNAE. The total programme cost is UA 25.13 million, financed through an ADF grant of UA 10.13 million and a Transition Support Facility Pillar I grant of UA 15 million. The executing agency is Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM).
