| Summary: | The Government of Mozambique is seeking
to achieve its strategic objectives and targets for
socio-economic and political development by intensifying the
implementation of its five-year government plan (PQG). It is
also taking preparatory steps for the next phase of its PQG,
which coincide with the new government period following the
national elections taking place in 2019. While the
Government has a stated policy of promoting an expanded role
for the private sector in all sectors of the economy, it has
not yet articulated a comprehensive and integrated private
sector strategy for the country overall, nor for any of the
major sectors/subsectors. The Government therefore has been
looking to bring in international experience and expertise
to help formulate, implement and track a coherent private
sector strategy that is attuned to the evolving
institutional roles and arrangements that are influencing
the direction and pace of private sector development, both
domestically and abroad. Given the dominant role of the
agrarian sector in Mozambique’s economy, and in providing
work for the majority of its labor force (about 80 percent),
any efforts to expand the role of the private sector are
likely to have their greatest impact when applied to
Mozambique’s agrarian sector, which is the focus of this
report. It also addresses the challenge of encouraging the
private sector to expand its role in transforming
Mozambique’s agrarian sector into a more productive and
competitive sector. |
