Mozambique

Picture
Mozambique's almost 21 million inhabitants, live in 10 provinces, divided into 3 regions (South, Central and North) spread over 799,380 km².

When Mozambique gained independence in 1975, after 500 years as a Portuguese colony, it was beset by a prolonged civil war, which ended in 1992. This combined with regular droughts and floods have left the country ranked 170 out of 173 on Human Development Index with a GDP per capita (PPP) US$ 854. This of course has had an impact on the population's health and the country's health care infrastructure.

After 1992 the government embarked on a reconstruction of the health sector under Health Services Recovery Programme. In parallel it established key relationships with donors and the health sector in order to co-ordinate efforts to improve the health of people in Mozambique.

Of Mozambique's total government budget 55-60% is covered by donors. The remainder comes from National revenues. Each ministerial budget is discussed to see what can and will be covered by donors and by the government. Most donors provide funds for specific areas, such as Health, Environment and Education.

Mozambique has launched an Action Plan for the Reduction of Absolute Poverty (PARPA). The plan has its strategy to:
    • Generate rapid and sustainable growth
    • Invest in human capital through improved delivery and quality of social services
    • Develop a program including safety nets that fosters the social and economic integration of the most vulnerable groups 
    This plan has 6 priority areas one of which is health.
