Reconstruir a economia de Mocambique: analise da assistencia ao pais

This Country Assistance Review (CAR) contains preliminary brief evaluations of all the projects in the Bank's Mozambique portfolio, including ongoing operations. Mozambique has made remarkable progress in terms of financial stabilization, economic liberalization, and privatization. But problems inherited from the past remain unsolved: extreme poverty, weak institutions, dual economy, limited access to social services, and excessive concentration of economic growth among narrow segments of the country. The main conclusions of the CAR are: 1) The Bank should remain the lead agency in assisting the Government as it continues to develop the policies and capacities for economic governance. 2) Mozambique will continue to receive large aid flows from donors. 3) The Bank should deliver advisory and analytical services for sectoral and thematic programs in the context of the Government's own public expenditures management program and in close collaboration with UN agencies and lead donors. 4) The nature of Bank involvement in sectoral leadership should vary among sectors, depending on the Bank's own comparative advantages and proven performance, on the Government's preferences, and on donor comparative advantages.
