Poverty reduction setback in times of compounding shocks: Mozambique Poverty Assessment
The 2023 Poverty Assessment draws on data from household budget survey, conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Abstract
The 2023 Poverty Assessment provides a poverty and equity analysis of the period from 2015 to 2020, primarily drawing on data from the 2019/20 household budget survey (IOF 2020), which was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. This shock has had large and wide-ranging impacts, constituting a significant setback to the socioeconomic landscape. Therefore, the findings presented in this report reflect the wellbeing of the population during this particularly difficult time and their dynamics should be appropriately contextualized. Due to the strong but transitory nature of the shock, some of the observed effects, chiefly the changes in poverty and inequality, should be interpreted to a large extent as temporary. Data from the 2022 household budget survey (IOF 2022) will provide further insights into this matter.
