Three out of four people in Mozambique live below the poverty line. Access to even the most basic services – such as water, healthcare and schooling – is limited. We share the country’s ambition to transform itself from a poor and post-conflict nation to a thriving gateway of trade and investment in the region.
UK aid will drive positive change in Mozambique by focusing on the jobs, opportunities and services that people need to beat poverty.
Top priorities
- Improving access to clean water and sanitation
- Increasing the number of children completing basic education, especially girls
- Saving more mothers from dying in childbirth
- Making sure more children live beyond their fifth birthday
- Increasing the number of doctors and nurses
We will spend an average of £83 million per year in Mozambique until 2015.
