of foreign aid was for economic purposes (FY 2024)
The United States gives foreign assistance to provide humanitarian aid and support peace, security, and economic development around the world. According to foreignassistance.gov, investing in global security and stability serves US national security interests by creating strategic and economic connections with other countries.
The more than 20 government agencies that fund or conduct foreign assistance activities report their aid to the Foreign Assistance and Data Reporting Team at foreignassistance.gov, which is jointly staffed by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Department of State. Due to data collection and reporting lags from the agencies providing aid, it can take up to two years for data to be considered “fully reported.” And even once they are, these numbers continue to change.
Mozambique is considered a low income country, according to the World Bank classification system. There are 29 low income countries that received aid, getting 21.3% of US foreign aid provided to individual countries in FY 2024. Mozambique ranked #3 among the low income countries in terms of aid received, between #2 Ethiopia ($1.33 billion) and #4 Somalia ($765.2 million).

In FY 2024, $821 million in foreign aid was committed to Mozambique.
