It is well known that Mozambique is
characterized by wide variations in socio-economic
indicators across provinces. According to available
statistics, such differen... Mostrar mais +
ces have decreased in recent years.
There has been great progress in both primary and secondary
enrollment rates the last decade; however, which areas have
made the greatest progress, and which areas are still
lacking behind? Infant mortality rates fell the last decade,
but where did they decline the most, and where are they
still high? This atlas provides maps and illustrations that
give insights into these aspects and many more. It does so
by showing a range of social and economic statistics at the
level of administrative posts. For most of the indicators it
includes maps which show the situation in 1997 and in 2007.
In addition some of the maps specifically illustrate the
change over the decade. Overall the atlas provides a
fascinating snapshot of recent socio-economic changes in Mozambique. Mostrar menos -

The objective of this study of Programa

e 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 estimates indicating
that -in the case of the most buoyant local revenue sources-
municipalities are only collecting about half of the revenue
potential. In the worst cases, municipalities are collecting
far less than 10 percent of the total revenue potential of a
local revenue source. The fact that a revenue gaps exists is
not only an indication of weak municipal performance.
Municipalities have relatively recently been created and it
takes time, capacity, and effort, to consolidate their
revenue functions. Tax administration is overall still weak
and a series of vacuums exist on the municipal fiscal
legislation. The analysis reveals that the current revenue
instruments at the disposal of municipalities are generally
appropriate municipal revenue instruments, so that efforts
at the national and municipal levels should be made to build
the capacity of the local tax administration to collect
these revenues. The report provides specific suggestions on
ways to strengthen the revenue collection for the main
municipal revenue instruments. However, in addition to
increasing municipal tax effort, the expenditure needs of
municipalities are so demanding that additional
intergovernmental transfers and tax sharing arrangements
should also be considered as a building block of municipal
finances in Mozambique. The results of this study aim to
become part of the ongoing dialogue with the municipalities
and national tax authorities to expand the understanding of
municipal revenues in Mozambique on the basis of more sound
empirical evidence. The scope of this analysis was limited
to a sample of six municipalities. In-depth case studies
were prepared for each of these municipalities, upon which
the current Summary Report is based. The six case
municipalities include: Beira, Cuamba, Marromeu, Nacala,

significant improvements were seen as municipalities began
to grasp the nettle of local governance and some service

municipalities have reorganized themselves to some extent

municipalities to perform their potentially significant role
in improving living conditions, stimulating growth and

ry has enjoyed remarkable recovery,
achieving an average annual rate of economic growth of 8
percent between 1996 and 2008, the highest growth rate among
African oil-importers. This resulted in more than three
million people being lifted out of poverty. Inequality has
remained relatively low by regional standards. From the
human development perspective, this has meant a 40 percent
decrease in infant and under-five mortality, and a 76
percent increase in net primary school enrollment. Progress
has been made toward the key Millennium Development Goals of
reducing infant mortality and increasing primary enrollment.
Mozambique is one of the largest recipients of resources
both from the International Development Association (IDA),
the World Bank's fund for the world's poorest
countries, and from other donors active in Africa. Along

licy and its administration on the business climate in
southern Africa. The success over the last decade in
establishing semi-autonomous revenue authorities (RAs) in
various countries in the region has achieved increased tax
collection. An unforeseen consequence of creating RAs may
have been to strengthen RA incentives to maximize revenue
generation while weakening the authority of ministries of
finance to formulate tax policy for broader national needs -
especially business development, investment, and growth for
sustainable poverty reduction. There has been little focus
on the possible business and growth impacts of revenue
targets and internal performance incentives. This project
therefore aims explicitly to develop a deeper understanding
of African RAs' impact on business. This study
recognizes that maintaining revenue for necessary government
expenditures is critical, and that any tax policy or
administration reforms (including those in this report) need
to take into account the revenue implications. This report
appreciates that tax may be only a small part of the wider
picture of what affects the incentives to invest. Other
factors may include economic governance, trade tariffs,
security etc. Mostrar menos -

of human resources for health (HRH). The study of the human

several conclusions that poverty, isolation, poor career
prospects, inadequate social activities to support cultural
interests, and family requirements push health professionals
away from rural areas and from the most peripheral units.
The report also gives several recommendations such as
improvement of skilled management cadre, policy documents
should more explicitly make the commitment to key equity
criteria in issues related to HRH development, and routine
data gathering through the personnel information system
(PIS) should also be strengthened at all levels,

Though the national education system,
including primary education, is neither compulsory, nor free
in Mozambique, the school network has witnessed an
impressive exp... Mostrar mais +
ansion since the signing of the Peace
Agreement in 1992. Enrollments in lower primary education
(Ensino Primario do Primeiro Grau or EP1, grades 1 through
5) have reached near universal proportions. In the period
from 1992 to 2003, the gross admission rate to grade 1, grew
from 59 percent to 123 percent, the gross enrollment rate
(GER) in EP1 increased from 60 percent to 112.7 percent, and
the number of lower primary schools rose from 2,800 to over
8,000. Indicators of the internal efficiency and quality of
education, however, do not display the same pattern of
development: efficiency and quality indicators, such as
repetition and dropout rates, the proportion of qualified
teachers, and the number of school shifts and of daily hours
of instruction, have improved only marginally. Given that
repetition and dropout rates are about 22 percent and 8
percent respectively in EP1, the high access rate evident in
grade 1 is obviously declining dramatically, as pupils move
through the system. There is considerable debate in
Mozambique on formal and informal school fees, and on the
potential impact of a fee reduction, or the elimination of
fees on the demand for schooling. The main objective of this
poverty and social impact analysis (PSIA) is to measure the
impact of direct costs (formal and informal school fees, and
related schooling expenses), and opportunity costs on
enrollment and pupil retention in primary education. The
analysis also provides insights into the contextual factors
associated with low pupil retention, and an examination of
the likely impact, and magnitude of policy alternatives
aimed at lowering all costs, and mitigating contextual factors. Mostrar menos -

y that was emerging from decades of
destructive civil war. This work gained international
recognition for two main reasons. First, it was a pioneering
programme in peri-urban sanitation at a large scale, and
reached a significant proportion of the peri-urban
population of the country. Second, the domed latrine slab,
and its derivative 'sanplat' (sanitary platform)
were technically innovative, and have since been copied
widely around the world. However, the long-term
sustainability of the approach (especially its high
externally funded subsidies) was questioned, and the
national sanitation policies were changed completely during
the late 1990s. The new policies did not immediately produce
workable arrangements, and the national sanitation programme
declined rapidly. The factors underlying both the success,
and decline of the programme provide valuable lessons. The
experiences of Mozambique could help other countries to
design programs of a similar scale, but with more emphasis
on promotion, and less dependence on externally funded subsidies. Mostrar menos -

zambique has made remarkable progress in terms
of financial stabilization, economic liberalization, and
privatization. But problems inherited from the past remain
unsolved: extreme poverty, weak institutions, dual economy,
limited access to social services, and excessive
concentration of economic growth among narrow segments of
the country. The main conclusions of the CAR are: 1) The
Bank should remain the lead agency in assisting the
Government as it continues to develop the policies and
capacities for economic governance. 2) Mozambique will
continue to receive large aid flows from donors. 3) The Bank
should deliver advisory and analytical services for sectoral
and thematic programs in the context of the
Government's own public expenditures management program
and in close collaboration with UN agencies and lead donors.
4) The nature of Bank involvement in sectoral leadership
should vary among sectors, depending on the Bank's own
comparative advantages and proven performance, on the
Government's preferences, and on donor comparative advantages. Mostrar menos -
