2025 Board candidate

Aida António Mabjaia

‍

Board Member / Executive Director, Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa

‍

I am submitting my candidacy to be nominated as a Board Member of the ������ý (IHA). With over 21 years of experience in Environmental Management, and 17 in Hydropower. I bring a strong foundation in sustainable development, regulatory compliance, and environmental stewardship. Three years ago, I was appointed to the Board of Directors at Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa (HCB), Mozambique������ý leading hydropower company, with responsibility over Projects, Human Resources, Infrastructures and other strategic areas.

My work has given me deep insights into Mozambique������ý energy landscape and the broader African region������ý hydropower potential and challenges. I am passionate about advancing access to clean, sustainable energy while ensuring that development is socially inclusive and environmentally responsible.

As an IHA Board Member, I would advocate Hydropower role for greater regional collaboration, increased knowledge-sharing, and capacity building across Africa. I believe the IHA should further support its members in implementing best practices and innovations that align with global climate and development goals. HCB remains strongly committed to the IHA������ý values and fully supports the San José Declaration on Sustainable Hydropower. We are working to embed sustainability and resilience into every aspect of our operations.

‍

It would be an honour to contribute to IHA������ý mission at a global level.
