The story of Mozambique is one of successful transformation. Since
1994, when it faced a decimated infrastructure, a weak economy, and
fragile institutions, it has sustained high economic growth and has
made tangible reductions in poverty. Its recovery from civil
conflict and extreme poverty make it a showcase for other nations
embarking on similar transitions. Still, more than half of the
population lives in poverty. Gaps persist between city dwellers and
farmers, men and women, rich and poor. And although growth
continues, there is concern that Mozambique's drive to reduce
poverty may lose momentum as happens in many countries recovering
from conflict. If the successes of the past are to be extended into
the future, policy makers must take stock of what has worked and
what has not as they develop new ways of improving the living
standards of all Mozambicans. 'Beating the Odds: Sustaining
Inclusion in Mozambique's Growing Economy' focuses on changes in
poverty and household community welfare from 1997 through 2003. It
uses monetary, human, and social indicators in combination with
quantitative and qualitative approaches to understand poverty
trends within the country and the dynamics that shaped them.
Intended to support the development and implementation of pro-poor
policies, its integration of poverty, gender, and social analysis
will be of particular interest to policy makers, development
practitioners, academics, and researchers.
