| description |
Against the backdrop of increasing
income inequality, this report uses spatial analysis to
assesses whether disparities in access to basic
infrastructure between Mozambique's lagging and leading
regions are growing or declining and whether the public
expenditure program is effective in addressing emerging
disparities. The report finds that overall, the gap has been
growing between rural and urban areas, especially in the
rural parts of Mozambique's central and northern
provinces – which are the poorest. It also found that
Mozambique's public investment program has made limited
progress in reducing access disparities, including during
the investment boom years. Lower investment levels in
underserved areas, combined with spending inefficiencies,
contributed to increased gaps in access. The report
concludes with recommendations for better targeting of
public investments to reach underserved areas. |
