Highlights
For 27 years, the Government of Mozambique has demonstrated its own commitment to safeguarding the rights of children in the country. There are currently over 16.4 million children in Mozambique - 52% of the Mozambican population. Equally, the country is working towards achieving sustainable development goals for children in a context of high vulnerability to climate and global economic shocks as well as internal challenges such as the conflict in the North, implementation of the Demobilisation, Disarmament and Reintegration (DDR) process of former RENAMO guerrillas and implementation of Decentralisation Reforms.
The child welfare situation in different parts of the country varies significantly. The present profile intends to encourage further efforts to improve the situation of children in Mozambique and in all provinces as the greatest investment in the country's future. This paper highlights the main indicators portraying the current status of children in Sofala, Nampula, Zambézia, and Cabo Delgado provinces. The document is organised into two different sections, the socio-demographic situation, and data on monetary and multidimensional child poverty.
