A experiência económica de Moçambique é frequentemente apresentada como um exemplo de sucesso na promoção de rápido crescimento com estabilização e redução da pobreza. Paradoxalmente, a economia nacional mantém anormalmente elevadas taxas de dependência em relação a fluxos externos de capitais, tanto oficiais (ajuda externa) como privados (investimento directo estrangeiro e empréstimos no sistema bancário internacional). Como é que este nível de dependência é consistente com a história de...

Gender equality and women’s empowerment are high on the government and donor agendas in Sub-Saharan Africa, but have largely failed to have an impact. Rather than ‘mainstreaming’ gender, more attention to the variations in the position of women is necessary. In a series of three studies on gender policies and the feminisation of poverty in Mozambique, significant differences were found between the north and the south as well as between rural and urban areas. Such variations are essential to...

A igualdade de género e o empoderamento das mulheres estão no centro das agendas do governo e dos doadores na África Sub-Sahariana, mas no geral não conseguiram ter impacto. Mais do que a ‘integração’ do género, é necessária mais atenção às variações da posição das mulheres. Numa série de três estudos sobre políticas de género e feminização da pobreza em Moçambique, foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre o norte e o sul, bem como entre as áreas rural e urbana. É essencial que se...
