Mozambique

Mozambique’s civil war (1975-1992) left the country scarred. We research the all-embracing consequences of poverty, with a special focus on women.

Sustained poverty

Since the internal conflict ended in the early 1990s, Mozambique has experienced economic growth (8% per year). Yet, the country continues to score poorly on international human development indexes. The average GDP per capita is also low. Infrastructure is feeble, and despite poverty reduction being high on the political agenda for decades, the majority of its population is still poor. There are large variations in poverty between the north and the south, and between urban and rural areas.

Poverty reduction has been high on the political and donor agenda throughout all these years. CMI has been involved in a number of long-term projects monitoring and evaluating developments ‘on the ground’. A recent focus has been on key urban dynamics and urban poverty. The project ”The Voice of China in Africa” seeks to understand the interaction between China and Africa in areas such as communication industries, media, and culture.
