China donates 80 buses to Mozambique (linked #52339)

In 2016, China donated 80 buses to Mozambique. The buses were donated to help reduce the problem of public transportation.

This donation is in response to the increasing demand for public transportation in the cities of Maputo and Matola and adjacent areas, driven by urban development. The buses are supposed to arrive in Mozambique before the end of 2016 and be distributed to the capital city, Maputo.

The announcement was made by Mozambique's Transport and Communication Minister, Carlos Mesquita who is on a visit to China. Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation are in place to ensure project continuity.
