This report provides a comprehensive analysis of poverty and well-being, including temporal trends, in Mozambique. It is based on the 2014/15 household budget survey data (Inquérito aos Agregados Familiares sobre Orçamento Familiar (IOF) 2014/15), conducted by the National Statistics Institute (Instituto Nacional de Estatística, INE). Results from this latest survey are compared to those obtained in previous survey rounds (2008/09, 2002/03 and 1996/97). We consider poverty and well-being...

Without much preparation, Indonesia, in 2000, at a stroke replaced the previous system of centralized government and development planning with a wide range of decentralization programs. The reforms gave greater authority, political power, and financial resources directly to regencies and municipalities, bypassing the provinces. The powers transferred include those of executing a wide range of responsibilities in the areas of health, primary and middle-level education, public works,...

A series of five “Reality Checks” will take place in the period 2011-2016, focussing on the dynamics of poverty and well-being with a particular focus on good governance, agriculture/climate and energy that are key sectors in Swedish development cooperation with Mozambique. Each Reality Check will be published in the form of one Annual Report and three Sub-Reports from each of the three selected study-sites (see ORGUTa 2011 for more details). More concretely, the “Reality Checks in...

Moçambique é uma colónia portuguesa antiga, que alcançou a independência em 1975, depois da queda do regime fascista português em Abril de 1974. O sucesso militar da Frelimo contra os portugueses, deu legitimidade a este movimento para se impor como o único representante da sociedade (Cahen, 2003). Em 1977, o Comité Central da Frelimo realizou o 3° congresso que marcou oficialmente a passagem ao partido Marxista-leninista e de «Vanguarda». A partir de 1980, o campo político Moçambicano foi...

The Reality Checks are implemented 2011-2016 and each year field work is carried out in the Municipality of Cuamba, the District of Lago and the District of Majune in the Niassa Province. Each Reality Check focusses on a specific theme. This is the 5th Sub-Report from the District of Lago, focussing on quantitative expressions of changes in poverty and wellbeing and the role of public institutions since the 1st Reality Check in 2011. An Annual Report is produced each year to summarise the...

It also discusses how the country plans to transition to a majority urban population. The report also discusses the impact of the urbanisation strategy on the regional development of the country through the promotion of growth corridors. To discuss this message, Future Cities Africa has selected three cities along the...

This article aims to analyse and explain the reasons behind the CSOs’ strong criticism of the ProSavana programme. This will contribute toward: (1) understanding the role of Mozambican CSOs as actors regulating international development cooperation projects; (2) revealing the political and economic interests behind ProSavana, as a first step toward a more critical approach to trilateral cooperation; and (3) illustrating through this case how a partnership between Brazil and “traditional”...

A partir de um modelo de previsões sobre dominância e a dinâmica de recrutamento nos partidos da oposição em sistemas de partido dominante, pretendeu-se perceber as dinâmicas do conflito político em Moçambique que culminaram com o agravamento da tensão militar entre as forças armadas do Governo moçambicano, e o maior partido da oposição, a RENAMO. Pode-se tomar como hipóteses que a assimetria de recursos entre o partido dominante no poder, a FRELIMO, e o maior partido da oposição, bem como...

In the framework of efforts to fight extreme poverty and recognising the importance and need to protect the poor and vulnerable population, in 2007 Mozambique approved Law No. 4/2007 which structured social protection into three levels, including basic social security. In 2010 the first National Basic Social Security Strategy (ENSSB I) was approved for the period 2010–2014, including a set of old (e.g. the Basic Social Security Programme—PSSB) and new (e.g. the Productive Social Action...

A elaboração da presente Estratégia teve como base as metas definidas na Estratégia Nacional de...

The promotion of decentralisation and local governance has long since been an established part of bilateral and multilateral development cooperation. In the context of fragile statehood, however, this area of development cooperation is frequently faced with the general suspicion of encouraging separatism, exacerbating conflicts, and thereby promoting the disintegration of the state. At the same time, fragile contexts create demand for institutional solutions concerning the distribution of...

Recommendations: 1. On planning and budgeting, greater coordination is recommended between planning (setting priorities) and budgeting (financial apportionment). Transformation of all District Health Services, Women and Social Action (SDSMAS) into Management Beneficiary Units (MBU) is necessary. 2. Stakeholders should bet more on application of national public financial management systems (PFM). The use of parallel financial systems instead of enabling the National Health System (NHS) to be...
