Inclusive Growth in Mozambique (Phase III)
The Inclusive growth in Mozambique (IGM) programme is a longstanding research and capacity development initiative that supports evidence-based policymaking to foster inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Mozambique.
Launched in 2015, following decades of UCPH-DERG collaboration with Mozambican partners, the overarching purpose of IGM is to contribute to the design and implementation of policies that improve the well-being of Mozambique’s poorest and most vulnerable populations. Key objectives include strengthening national capabilities in data collection, analysis, and research, generating high-quality evidence, and facilitating policy dialogue through targeted dissemination and engagement.
Over the past decade, IGM has evolved through two successful phases. Phase I (2015–21) laid the foundation of the programme by developing key analytical tools and data – such as the Quadro Macro and national poverty assessments – and initiating a range of short- and long-term training activities. Phase II (2021–25) deepened the institutional engagements and broadened the programme’s thematic scope. Phase III (2025–28), launched in July 2025, builds on the achievements of the previous phases while introducing new innovations to address Mozambique’s evolving policy challenges.
Key thematic areas of phase III include:
- Poverty and inequality – including climate-related shocks and gender disparities
- Macroeconomic analysis – strengthening forecasting and strategic planning
- Public finance – focusing on public service delivery, pro-poor budgeting, debt management, and fiscal policy
Two cross-cutting themes, climate change adaptation and gender inclusiveness, are integrated throughout all activities.
