Poverty and inequality in Mozambique: What is at stake?
This conference, part of the Inclusive growth in Mozambique project carried out with partners, will bring together government representatives, policy advisors, and development practitioners to discuss the latest results on, as well as methodologies to study, poverty and inequality in the country.
With both local and international speakers, the conference will promote more in-depth analyses of issues ranging from multidimensional poverty to agricultural investment as well as gender equality in the Mozambican context. The overarching aim is to inform innovative policies for more inclusive growth in the country.
The conference will take place on 27 November 2017 at Hotel Avenida in Maputo. Participants are also welcome to take part in the related Public policy forum on the challenges of inequality in Mozambique on 28 November 2017 at the Complexo Pedagógico of Eduardo Mondlane University.
