As uniões prematuras constituem um dos principais problemas sociais na África Austral que, pelas suas consequências negativas em cadeia: gravidez precoce,desnutrição crónica,fístula obstétrica,abandono escolar,se tornam um problema igualmente económico, uma barreira ao desenvolvimento socioeconómico. No caso de Moçambique, o problema afecta cerca de metade das raparigas com menos de 18 anos, o que faz do país um dos cinco mais afectados a nível da Comunidade dos Países da África Austral...

Key messages: 1. The envelope of resources for the 2019 State Budget is set to increase to MT 340 billion (from MT 303 billion in 2018), representing Mozambique’s largest nominal budget; however, once factoring in the depreciated currency and high inflation of recent years as well as high debt servicing payments, the purchasing power of this envelope –including for priority sectors– no longer represents a historical high. 2. The share of resources dedicated to investment in Mozambique has...

This paper is a sequel to an earlier paper that looked in broad terms at many of the issues that Mozambique faces today in managing its new extractive resources. The paper first describes the investment surge that has already been prompted by new gas discoveries in Mozambique. It then summarizes some of the more recent literature that has examined the effects of such surges in other country contexts. It next examines the main aspects of the disappointing economic outcomes that have so far...

The article shows that corruption is structural and omnipresent in Mozambican society, effectively legitimising corrupt practices at all levels. Using an anthropological approach, it argues that smallscale corruption has the most immediate effects for the urban and rural poor and is so common that it has become an integrated part of daily life, or ‘habitual’. While most of the poor relate to corruption through tacit acceptance and acts of compliance, its practical implications are most severe...

The violent insurgency in northern Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado, that started in October 2017 and is still ongoing, caught the government of the country and the public by surprise. Although this insurgency remains largely unexplored and little understood, the only study done so far has suggested that it is being carried out by Muslim youth connected to Islamic radicalism, in particular to the Harakat alShabaab of Somalia and its offshoots in Kenya, Tanzania, and as far as DRC.1 Islam...

In the view of international donors, multilateral organisations and government officials, social protection in Mozambique benefits from strong government commitment to it. Their argument is that, in contrast to many African countries, the government has demonstrated a level of commitment and support to social protection that is quite unprecedented. This view relies on the fact that more than 90 per cent of the budget allocated to the implementation of social protection programmes comes from...

Desde o Acordo Geral de Paz, assinado em 1992, Moçambique realizou reformas políticas de intervenção no combate à pobreza. Contudo, em 2006, verificou-se que 54% da população moçambicana ainda se encontrava abaixo da linha de pobreza. Foi então que, Moçambique, em parceria com organizações internacionais iniciou os seus esforços na promoção de programas centrados na igualdade e equidade de género e a sua atuação junto de comunidades mais vulneráveis, tendo em conta particularmente a educação...

Joseph Hanlon argues that Mozambique’s new “Islamic” insurgency is about marginalised youth demanding to be heard, and therefore is similar to anti-establishment protest across the world.

This study was conducted as part of the Citizen Engagement Programme (Programa Cidadania e Participação (CEP)) in Mozambique – an empowerment and social accountability initiative to improve the quality of education and health services by increasing citizens’ influence on the management of schools and health units, the formulation of education and health policies, and the provision of education and health services.

Contextualização da pesquisa: - No dia 5 de Outubro de 2017, um grupo de homens armados, aparentemente com motivações religiosas, ataca instituições do Estado (postos policiais) na Vila da Mocímboa da Praia; - Rapidamente, o assunto da radicalização islâmica no norte de Moçambique passou a chamar a atenção do Governo, sector privado, sociedade civil, parceiros de cooperação, analistas, comentadores, cidadãos comuns, etc. - Para muita gente, as perguntas comuns eram: De onde vem esse grupo...

Coastal livelihood interventions can help communities by providing additional incomes, while protecting and maintaining resources and the environment. The identification and promotion of resilient and diversified livelihood opportunities are crucial to enhance communities’ adaptive capacity to respond to the multiple stresses and shocks in a changing coastal environment. Coastal livelihood opportunities are especially important in their support for biodiversity conservation in and around...

Contract farming is a sales arrangement between a farmer and a firm, agreed before production begins, which provides the farmer with resources or services. Many governments and donors promote contract farming as part of agricultural development policies. However, there is serious concern whether smaller farmers can benefit from these arrangements. This paper presents the results of a systematic review that analysed the evidence in the literature on income effects for smallholders. The review...

In northern Mozambique, villagers were promised jobs to replace land taken for forestry. Five years later, they’re still waiting, discovers Nils Adler.

This is a practice-based reflection grounded in the evidence collected through the implementation of Community Scorecards in the health sector in 13 districts of Mozambique. The evidence has revealed a transfer of responsibilities from local governance...
