| description |
Mozambique has enjoyed strong economic
growth but poverty levels are still unacceptably high.
Mozambique is now in a transition period with an opportunity
to plan for how resource revenues can contribute to poverty
reduction and inclusive growth. Any policy to scale-up a
cash transfer program will operate with a limited budget,
meaning that decisions will need to be made on the optimal
design choice in Mozambique. The objective of this policy
note is to generate debate on implementing a scaled-up cash
transfer in Mozambique’s future resource-rich environment,
as part of a broader strategy to reduce poverty. The scope
of this note is focused on distributing resource revenues
through a scaled-up cash transfer program, and not the
broader management of resource revenues. Section one
discusses growth and poverty dynamics. Section two presents
the existing social protection system. Section three
discusses policy options for implementing a scaled-up cash
transfer program using a simulation exercise to estimate
poverty and welfare effects for a given fiscal envelope.
Section four discusses how to address the risks of financing
a scaled-up cash transfer program from resource revenues.
Section five focuses on the practicalities of how the social
protection system should be strengthened to implement
scaled-up cash transfer program and the final section concludes. |
