This note analyzes the institutional and
policy context in which Mozambique allocates and manages
resource revenues at the subnational level. Its objectives
are: (i) to better understand the extent to which the
current revenue-sharing system advances the countries stated
development goals, (ii) to identify any significant
weaknesses or constraints in the current system, and (iii)
to provide recommendations for strengthening the policy
framework and institutional mechanisms for sharing resource
revenues. This analysis is informed by the international
experience with allocating and managing resource revenues at
the subnational level, and it applies a number of important
lessons learned. The policy note is divided into five
sections. Section one presents projections for future
resource revenue transfers to subnational governments, both
in absolute terms and as a share of each district s total
budget. Section two reviews the international experience
with resource sharing and identifies key lessons to inform
successful policies. Section three presents a broader look
at fiscal decentralization in Mozambique. Section four
discusses the main findings of the analysis and situates
them in the context of Mozambique s current revenue-sharing
policies. Section five concludes the note by laying out
recommendations to improve Mozambique s institutional and
policy framework for allocating resource revenues at the
subnational level. This policy note is based on a survey of
the international literature on fiscal decentralization in
general and resource revenue sharing in particular. |
