Increased alignment, coordination, and planning capacity are identified as necessary improvements. Lessons from GET Invest's Mozambican country window highlight the importance of a scalable approach, customized services, and stakeholder engagement in ensuring relevance and effectiveness. Financial advisory services have proven instrumental in developing bankable projects, while initiatives like Results-Based Financing (RBF) and CovidPlus have supported post-pandemic recovery and growth. These efforts, alongside technical assistance and regulatory support, are vital for fostering a sustainable energy sector in Mozambique."}, {"bbox": [1026, 1681, 1142, 1705], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 16 of 33"}]
