Evidence snapshot for Mozambique
Mozambique has made significant progress on political representation and financial inclusion, with women's parliamentary share rising from 26% to 43.2% (2024) through FRELIMO's voluntary quota, and M-Pesa mobile money active users tripling from 1.9 to 6 million (2018–2022) — though mobile money penetration remains at ~40% of adults versus a 64% Sub-Saharan Africa average. On climate and forest conservation, Mozambique received the world's first FCPF emission-reduction payment of US$6.4 million in October 2021 for 1.28 million tCO2e verified in Zambézia Province, though total transfers through 2023 reached only ~US$7 million (about 14% of the maximum commitment), reflecting slower-than-projected deforestation reductions. More recently, community-led Miombo woodland restoration under Kukumuty became the first project globally certified under Plan Vivo's 2024 standard, with an estimated 74,000 tCO2e lifetime removals and a guarantee that communities receive at least 60% of carbon revenue.
