| description |
This book focuses on entry points for
creation of better jobs through agricultural value chains
and lays out the policy implications, using cassava, cashew,
and plantation forestry as examples. It is based on case
studies carried out in 2018-2020 by the World Bank Jobs
Group as part of the multi-stakeholder Let’s Work Program in
Mozambique. Let’s Work is a global partnership encompassing
over 25 private sector organizations, international
financial institutions, multilateral development banks, and
bilateral donors focused on supporting private sector-led
job growth. The study documents opportunities for creating
more and better jobs, often in formal employment, linked to
the cassava, cashew and plantation forestry value chains.
Cassava in Mozambique is currently a traditional subsistence
food crop; cashew is a struggling traditional export crop;
and plantation forestry is a relatively new sector. However,
the study also argues that to realize these opportunities
Mozambique requires proactive public policy and investments
to overcome significant challenges such as: climate change;
over-concentration in current export market destinations;
and the unintended side effects of some public policies. The
study is focused on promoting an enabling environment for
private sector growth in these value chains. It aims to
inform ongoing debates about how agriculture and improved
natural resource management can contribute more to economic
transformation in Mozambique. |
