Introductory note:
Both the Economic and Social Plan (“PES”) and this Review constitute core
government planning and monitoring instruments. Given their importance, there
is a need for constant improvement of these instruments in order to respond to
new challenges that arise.
In this Review of the 2003 Economic and Social Plan a new structure has been
adopted. This has resulted in a wider content so as (i) to provide greater
consistency and coherence in the operation and harmonization of the different
planning instruments; and (ii) to be used for monitoring and assessing the
PARPA, an important instrument in the Government’s strategy for the reduction
of absolute poverty.
This development demonstrates the materialization of the government’s
commitment to follow up and assess the execution of PARPA through the PES.
The expectation is for better visualization of the implementation of Government
programmes and their impact in the reduction of absolute poverty in
Mozambique.
The document is structured as follows: Chapter II presents the actions that have
been taken to improve the current planning instrument, the consultations which
took place and issues relating to the improvement of Monitoring and Evaluation
of the PARPA; Chapter III presents the international economic context in which
Mozambique’s performance must be seen; Chapter IV, outlines the social and
demographic profile of Mozambique and reviews the extent to which the current
strategy for the reduction of absolute poverty in the country is meeting its aims.
Results are presented in terms of changes in the welfare indicators (available
from the 2002-2003 Household Survey), and the extent to which Mozambique is
on course to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s). This Chapter
also deals with the demographic and macro-economic impacts of HIV-Aids
epidemic. In Chapter V the macro-economic results are detailed. Chapter VI
deals with the Government’s performance in the social and economic areas with
emphasis on the extent to which the PARPA objectives have been achieved.
Trends in key indicators in the main sectors are compared against the planned
targets. In addition a discussion of the main activities undertaken in the areas of
good governance, legal and justice sectors and support to the development of
the private sector is given. In Chapter VII the use of public resources is assessed
together with an evaluation of the extent to which the main measures of fiscal
policy have been implemented. To this effect the annual planning and budget
execution data is compared against the commitments undertaken in this area,
especially in the context of PARPA. The final part of the document contains the
main conclusions related with each of the issues discussed.
