Mozambique has taken a major step forward in infrastructure transparency with the launch of dadosinfra.co.mz, a new public portal that allows citizens to follow infrastructure projects and spending in unprecedented detail.

“This moment marks more than the unveiling of a digital platform; it represents a significant step forward in strengthening transparency, accountability and public value in infrastructure development.” -Olive Kabatwairwe, Africa Regional Manager and Learning Lead at CoST. 

The platform tracks 80 infrastructure projects across 13 sectors, covering 265 tenders from early project identification through to completion and decommissioning. It includes major national projects across sectors such as transport, energy and water, linking transparency directly to real investments.

Operated by the country’s Road Fund (Fundo de Estradas) under the Ministry of Transportation and Logistics, the portal publishes data aligned with the Open Contracting for Infrastructure Data Standard (OC4IDS) and has been validated as an OC4IDS publisher for 2026.

What sets the portal apart is its invoice-level financial transparency. While most countries publish overall contract values or project budgets, Mozambique goes further by showing individual invoices linked to contracts — including what has been invoiced, paid and remains outstanding. This provides a clearer picture of how public money moves during project implementation.

The portal makes it easier to understand how infrastructure projects are progressing and how public funds are being used across the full project lifecycle. By showing how much has been invoiced and paid, it gives users a clear picture of whether projects are on track and where delays or gaps may exist.

It also provides insights into how projects are planned, funded and delivered, helping to highlight whether they offer value for money and are being procured competitively. This kind of information can support better oversight and a more informed public debate.

By mapping projects across the country, the platform allows citizens to see where infrastructure investments are taking place and how they are distributed, making it easier to connect national spending with local impact.

Importantly, the portal shows that meaningful transparency does not have to be costly. Built and maintained at minimal expense, it demonstrates that governments can make infrastructure data open, accessible and useful without significant financial barriers.

With dadosinfra.co.mz now live, Mozambique is not only increasing transparency — it is setting a practical example of how open data can be used to strengthen accountability and rebuild trust in public infrastructure.
