Evidence snapshot for Maputo
Maputo hosts two documented entrepreneurship-support initiatives. ideiaLab, a business incubator co-founded in 2010, trained 1,095 entrepreneurs in 2019 within a 25,722-member community, with 71% of supported businesses still active a year later and 63% of owners reporting at least one new hire, though these figures are self-reported rather than independently verified. A randomised field experiment with roughly 600 microentrepreneurs across Maputo's markets found that role-model aspirations videos lifted sales by 99% and profits by 89% a year later, though the evidence strength of this intervention is not fully assessed in the available documentation.
