    Mozambique, Africa

    Mozambique, the only Lusophone country covered in the agribusiness indicators initiative, has had a turbulent history since independence. Civil unrest over some 20 years and frequent drought in southern Mozambique, coupled with floods near the many waterways that transect the country (mainly east-west), have inhibited an agricultural transformation. Even so, Mozambique could be a regional breadbasket. The country has much potentially usable arable land, along with access to river water for irrigation in many agricultural production zones, particularly in central and northern Mozambique.

    This assessment, reflecting
    poverty's many dimensions in Mozambique, combines
    multiple disciplines and diagnostic tools to explore
    poverty. It draws on a combination of approaches and tools
    from three separate analytical diagnostics developed by the
    World Bank: poverty assessment, country gender assessment,
    and country social analysis. It uses monetary, human, and
    social indicators and combines quantitative and qualitative

    This paper assesses the implications of large-scale investments in biofuels for growth and income distribution. We find that biofuels investment enhances growth and poverty reduction despite some displacement of food crops by biofuels. Overall, the biofuel investment trajectory analyzed increases Mozambique's annual economic growth by 0.6 percentage points and reduces the incidence of poverty by about 6 percentage points over a 12-year phase-in period. Benefits depend on production technology.

    The objective of this study on the
    Development of 13 Mozambican Municipalities in Central and
    Northern Mozambique is to assess the impact that the 2008
    reforms on own-source revenues is having on the municipal
    revenue potential. To do so, it calculates the revenue
    potential of four fiscal and three non-fiscal revenue
    sources. The analysis shows that there is substantial
    untapped revenue potential at the municipal level, with

    This report is part of a broader global
    study, the Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change (EACC),
    which has two principal objectives: (a) to develop a global
    estimate of adaptation costs for informing international
    climate negotiations; and (b) to help decision makers in
    developing countries assess the risks posed by climate
    change and design national strategies for adapting to it.
    The purpose of this study is to assist the Government of

    This report summarizes the key themes
    and findings from three in-depth case studies of EET
    programs in Ghana, Kenya, and Mozambique. Each case study
    produced rich information on the programs context, the
    landscape of programs in each country, and the qualitative
    insights from local EET stakeholders. This report
    synthesizes information from across the case studies to
    analyze the extent to which these countries programs are

    We use a gendered dynamic CGE model to assess the implications of biofuels expansion in a low-income, land-abundant setting. Mozambique is chosen as a representative case. We compare scenarios with different gender employment intensities in producing jatropha feedstock for biodiesel. Under all scenarios, biofuels investments accelerate GDP growth and reduce poverty. However, a stronger trade-off between biofuels and food availability emerges when female labor is used intensively, as women are drawn away from food production.

    The dramatic increases in world food and
    fuel prices during 2007 and early 2008 may set back
    Mozambique's considerable advances in poverty reduction
    during the past decade. This study assesses the impact of
    higher fuel and food prices at both household and
    macroeconomic levels, and also considers policy options to
    mitigate some of the negative impacts of higher prices.
    Rising world prices certainly represents a negative

    Household enterprises -- usually
    one-person-operated tiny informal enterprises -- are a
    rapidly growing source of employment in Sub-Saharan Africa,
    especially in lower-income countries. Household enterprises
    tend to operate with limited interest or support from
    governments. This is the case in Mozambique, where neither
    the poverty reduction strategy nor small and medium
    enterprise development policies include household
