Evidence snapshot for Mozambique
Mozambique has made significant progress on political representation and financial inclusion, though gaps remain in both areas. 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's mobile money platform expanded active users from 1.9 million to 6 million between 2018–2022, reaching roughly 10 million users by mid-2024, though only about 40% of Mozambican adults hold a mobile money account compared to a 64% Sub-Saharan Africa average. The country is also building resilience through youth entrepreneurship support—ideiaLab has trained over 1,000 entrepreneurs annually within a 25,700-member community, with 71% of supported businesses still active one year later—and climate adaptation, with Beira's green-gray flood defence programme achieving a 70% reduction in flood risk in the rehabilitated catchment after Cyclone Idai's 2019 devastation.
