Evidence snapshot for Mozambique
Mozambique has made significant progress on women's political representation and financial inclusion, though gaps remain. FRELIMO's voluntary 40% women-candidate quota with zebra lists has lifted women's parliamentary representation from 26% (1994) to 43.2% (2024), among the highest in Sub-Saharan Africa. M-Pesa mobile money has expanded financial access, with active registered users growing from 1.9 to 6 million between 2018–2022, though only around 40% of adults hold a mobile-money account compared to a 64% Sub-Saharan Africa average. The country has also invested in climate resilience and education: Beira's green-gray flood-defence programme achieved a 70% reduction in flood risk in its catchment, and Instant Network Schools has scaled offline adaptive learning to 26 centres and over 91,000 cumulative students by November 2025.
