Donor dependency entailed some loss of agency for the government as it allowed donors to challenge its capacity but never its authority.

Donor countries have become less enthusiastic about...

Como país soberano, Moçambique confiou inicialmente na solidariedade internacional e geriu bem as suas relações com os doadores. A dependência em relação a estes implicou que o Governo experimentasse alguma perda de capacidade de intervenção, permitindo que os doadores desafiassem a sua competência, embora nunca a sua autoridade. No entanto, na última década, os países doadores expressaram o seu desapontamento com as reformas e contestaram a legitimidade do Governo. Isto não se deve apenas...

Mozambique’s debt remains in distress, which is unchanged from the previous DSA published in June 2019.
