Although Mozambique has 10 universities, the number of applicants far exceeds available vacancies, and the country is therefore experiencing shortages of qualified professionals. In order to enhance the quality and availability of advanced education, the project will expand the Eduardo Mondlane University in the capital Maputo by constructing three additional buildings.
A 3,600 m2 administrative building will centralize the departments that are currently housed in widely-scattered, improvised facilities. Upon completion of the project, a 40% increase in university graduates is expected, which is expected to have a favourable impact on Mozambique’s economy
