Evidence snapshot for Comoros
Comoros has pursued multiple development initiatives with mixed results. Telecom market liberalisation driven by World Bank financing ($22M in 2013, plus $10M in 2018) ended the telecom monopoly, introduced a competing operator that captured ~25% market share, and increased mobile broadband subscriptions to 58 per 100 inhabitants by 2018, though internet penetration remained low at 27.3% as of 2023. A World Bank-financed business-plan competition and matching grants programme ($25M, 2019–2024) supported 250 MSMEs and farmers, creating 1,772 jobs (44% held by women, 60% by youth) and achieving a 36% average revenue increase among beneficiaries. Vaniacom, a woman-founded vanilla export cooperative, sources from about 150 smallholders (80% women) and channels fair-trade premiums into farmer health insurance and maternity leave, exporting roughly 8 tonnes annually, though these figures are self-reported without independent verification.
