The healthcare system in Mozambique is striving to reduce the high maternal and child mortality rates and stay on par with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3.1). A key strategy to curb maternal and child mortality is to promote the use of professional childbirth services proven to be highly effective in averting maternal deaths. Currently, little is known about the use of childbirth services in Mozambique. The present study investigated the prevalence of professional healthcare...

Livelihoods and agricultural production systems are already being affected by the...

It provides guidance and a methodology for domestic stakeholders to determine the types of institutional reforms, incentives, coalitions, and policy design that can entrench long-term political support for climate ambition. The assessment can also help users identify political barriers to more equitable climate...

In the case of Mozambique, the pandemic came on the heels of two destructive cyclones that had devastated large parts of the country in 2019 and whose consequences were still being felt. In northern Mozambique, increasing violence in Cabo Delgado province resulted in a surge of internally displaced persons into local communities in Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Niassa provinces. With host communities ill equipped to meet the needs of those displaced, this population movement created a new...

The world commemorated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the ICPD in November 2019 in Nairobi, where governments and civil society organizations, including from Mozambique, made commitments to accelerate the implementation of the ICPD goals in their own countries and organizations. Two of the major themes of the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25 were the challenges of securing the rewards of a “demographic dividend” by investing in youthful populations and of the need to respond to the rising number of...

There is a broad consensus that state capacity is central to economic and institutional development. But while the concept originated as a tool for macro-historical and comparative analysis, its success has led the term ‘capacity’ to become a default metaphor for discussing the quality of government bureaucracies. This paper discusses the limitations to conceiving of narrower questions of bureaucratic performance and policy implementation through the lens of the broad, aggregate concept of...

Since 2011, thousands of people have been resettled in the province of Tete, central Mozambique to make way for open-pit coal mines. These resettlements have received widespread criticism for impoverishing already vulnerable communities and for the repressive action taken against local opposition. This repression is part of a broader array of reactions “from above” that have emerged in relation to protest. One of these reactions “from above” is that representatives of the government of...

The present study was commissioned by the Department for International Development (DFID) in Mozambique. As a piece of independent research on the political economy of the health sector, it is considered to inform DFID’s health sector support programme for the period 2012-2016 and to lead to more in-depth inquiries of Mozambique’s health sector. The latter has witnessed a number of institutional, management, financial and governance challenges in the past few years, including a change in...

O livro aborda a questão da descentralização mediante uma abordagem multidisciplinar e multissectorial, considerando o ângulo visual de tipo político, assim como institucional, da administração pública ou da burocracia, da economia, das finanças (públicas) e da sociedade. O objectivo que se põe tem a ver com o relacionamento entre descentralização e democracia. Trata-se de um assunto conhecido e enfrentado várias vezes no debate próprio da ciência política: será que uma maior...

The book approaches the topic in a multidisciplinary and multisectoral manner and considers different viewpoints, including political, institutional and that of public administration, finances and society. The authors look at the relationship between decentralisation and democratisation, a subject debated in political sciences: Does decentralisation correspond to a more advanced level of democracy?

Com base em estudos anteriores (Bueno, 2017; 2019; Weimer, 2020), recorremos aos conceitos de dependência da trajectória (em inglês, path dependence) e conjunturas críticas (em inglês, critical junctures) como duas lógicas explicativas para construir a nossa análise. Como se explica mais adiante, estas lógicas são muito usadas em análises históricas. Revisitamos, assim, o caso de Moçambique e examinamos o desenvolvimento da reconciliação, dando maior prioridade ao acordo de paz assinado em...

Houve em 2011 três acontecimentos que revelaram as dimensões dos desafios que se colocam à gestão do Sistema Nacional de Saúde moçambicano em geral e ao Ministério de Saúde (MISAU) em particular. O primeiro foi uma auditoria externa das contas de 2009 do PROSAUDE II e do Fundo Global, realizada pela empresa de auditoria KPMG e entregue ao governo e aos seus parceiros internacionais em Junho de 2011. Esta auditoria revelou fraquezas consideráveis, nomeadamente em relação à auditoria interna e...

The August 2019 Maputo Accord on Peace and Reconciliation appears not to be standing on entirely solid ground. Not only has the decentralization agreement suffered from last minute ‘adulteration’, but also the DDR process has been lacking speed and rigour. The circumstances and outcomes of the October 2019 elections have cast doubt on the extent to which Renamo will abide to the August 2019 agreement. The party appears to be split on the matter of the – officially disowned armed Junta...

Mesmo antes de se fazer sentir o impacto duma crise económica global, há um pensamento renovado em Moçambique sobre um papel mais amplo do Estado na protecção social. Os proponentes lutam de modo a convencer os outros do valor económico e social dum investimento mais alargado na protecção social. Isto vai contra o pano de fundo da resistência institucional, que a história política e económica de Moçambique acarreta. Moçambique já era unido como uma nação sob o regime colonial português,...
