The differences between the payments by the companies and the receipts from the State correspond to 0,17% of the amounts confirmed by the State in 2019

Evidence suggests that many women experience mistreatment during childbirth in health facilities across the world, but the magnitude of the problem is unknown. The occurrence of disrespect and abuse (D&A) in maternity care services affects the overall quality of care and may undermine women’s trust in the health system. Studies about the occurrence of disrespect and abuse in Mozambican health facilities are scarce. The aim of this study was to explore the experience of women giving birth in...

We investigate the gender employment gap in the expanding non-subsistence sector of the economy in Mozambique, a country still characterized by a large subsistence agricultural sector. We show evidence that the gender gap has widened over time and we identify two structural factors strongly associated with it. One factor is the still relatively lower level of female human capital, with less attained education, as well as literacy and Portuguese proficiency rates. The lower conditional...

"As regras do jogo: uma introdução às normas internacionais do trabalho" apresenta de maneira sucinta a política normativa da OIT, com objetivo de facilitar a sua compreensão e apropriação pelos constituintes tradicionais da OIT e os do sistema das Nações Unidas, bem como os não especialistas e o público em geral.

The Rules of the Game: An introduction to the standards-related work of the ILO provides a brief presentation of the ILO’s standards policy with a view to facilitating understanding and ownership by the ILO’s traditional constituents, as well as the United Nations system, non-specialists and the broader public. In its first section, the publication recalls the underlying reasons for and utility of the ILO’s standards-related action at both the national level and in the current context of...

Background: Countries must be able to describe and monitor their populations health and well-being needs in an attempt to understand and address them. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have re-emphasized the need to invest in comprehensive health information systems to monitor progress towards health equity; however, knowledge on the capacity of health information systems to be able do this, particularly in low-income countries, remains very limited. As a case study, we aimed to...

Background The Maternal Mortality Ratio in Mozambique has stagnated at 405 deaths per 100,000 live births with virtually no progress over the last 15 years. Low Institutional Birth Rates (IBRs) levelling around 50% in many rural areas constitute one of the contributing reasons. Demand-side financing has successfully increased usage of maternal health services in other countries, but little information exists on in-kind incentives in rural Africa. The objective was to test the impact on...

Key Messages: - Health is a human right and is constitutionally protected in Mozambique; - The health sector is considered a priority sector by the Government of Mozambique; - The health sector is amongst the least funded by the State Budget in the past four years, (with less than 8% on average), against the 15% assumed in Abuja; - For the year 2014, of the 762.8 million USD allocated to the health sector, 44% came from external sources (REO MOH, 2014). The combined PROSAUDE resources,...

Background: Despite substantial investment in women’s health over the past two decades, and enthusiastic government support for MDG 5 and SDG 3, health indicators for women in Mozambique remain among the lowest in the world. Maternal mortality stayed constant from 2003 to 2011, with an MMR of 408; the estimated HIV prevalence for women of 15–24 years is over twice that for men; and only 12.1% of women are estimated to be using modern contraception. This study explores the perspectives of...

A economia de Moçambique encontra-se num ponto de viragem, e os esforços para abordar as vulnerabilidades em matéria de governação e corrupção podem ter um impacto positivo duradouro. Já tomámos medidas para abordar as vulnerabilidades em matéria de governação e corrupção. Contudo, reconhecemos que subsistem falhas em diversas áreas relevantes da economia. A fim de abordar algumas das debilidades restantes, temos reformas de governação em curso e em perspectiva em várias áreas, muitas...

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...

Que tipo de protecção social poderá Moçambique desenvolver sem poupança interna e profundamente dependente da poupança externa? Esta é a questão principal que este artigo pretende discutir. A discussão é feita em dois sentidos: mostrar a importância da pesquisa dentro da qual a pergunta surgiu e mostrar a relevância da relação que a mesma estabelece entre a poupança e a protecção social. No primeiro sentido, a relevância da pesquisa é demostrada na abordagem das limitações e deficiências...

Em 2019, pela primeira vez na história documentada, dois fortes ciclones tropicais atingiram Moçambique na mesma estação do ano. No dia 14 de Março, o ciclone tropical IDAI atingiu o porto de Beira (afectando 50 distritos em 5 províncias ), e seis semanas mais tarde, o ciclone Kenneth atingiu o norte de Moçambique (afectando 14 distritos em duas províncias). A devastação causada pelos ciclones poderá elevar o número de crianças que necessitam urgentemente de assistência humanitária nas áreas...

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...

Background How do governance interventions that engage citizens in public service delivery planning, management and oversight impact the quality of and access to services and citizens’ quality of life? This systematic review examined high quality evidence from 35 citizen engagement programmes in low- and middle-income countries that promote the engagement of citizens in service delivery through four routes: participation (participatory priority setting); inclusion of marginalised groups;...

Inequality is a key political issue of our times. It has political consequences, fuelling conflict and raising legitimacy chal‑ lenges for regimes around the world, in democratic and non‑demo‑ cratic settings alike. At the centre of these challenges is the question of accountability: who can be held accountable, on what basis, how and by whom for tackling or failing to tackle which inequalities. In the field of global health, inequality has long been a key issue. A significant body of work —...
