Mozambique is well positioned to benefit from the global energy minerals transition, through its graphite resources, heavy mineral sands, titanium minerals, ilmenite, zircon, rare earth potential and related low carbon value chains. The recent commissioning of a 200,000 ton-per-year Niassa graphite processing plants signals growing investor interest and Mozambique’s ambition to move beyond extraction. Given shifting global demand, technologies, supply chains, geopolitics, environmental standards, regional trade integration and investor expectations, Mozambique needs a clear strategy to guide critical mineral development, processing, governance and trade for industrialization, revenue mobilization and competitiveness.

In this context, the proposed study aims to reposition natural resources as strategic, investment-ready assets that can catalyze private capital, support value addition and drive structural transformation.

Mozambique’s Rovuma LNG projects position the country as a future major gas exporter. Gas revenues, infrastructure, energy supply and institutional capacity provide a platform for mineral sector development. The Critical Minerals Strategy will therefore align with gas governance, LNG revenue management and related infrastructure corridors, especially in Cabo Delgado and the northern economic zone.

The assignment will develop an approach paper to guide the preparation of Mozambique’s Critical Minerals Strategy, covering its scope, priorities areas, methodology, institutional arrangements and implementation pathway. It aligns with Mozambique’s reform agenda, the Africa Mining Vision, the Africa Green Minerals Strategy, the African Continental Free Trade Area, and the African Development Bank’s priority Area 1 of the Country Strategy Paper (CSP) 2023-2028, which focuses on improving economic governance and the business environment to facilitate private sector investments and mobilize resources.
