Summary (English)

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mozambique quickly devised an ambitious Social Protection Response Plan to address the socio-economic effects of the crisis on the most vulnerable. Together with development partners, the Government ensured a rapid, innovative and coordinated policy response based on the progressive scale up of noncontributory social protection to more than 1.5 million beneficiaries during the two phases of the Plan, including nearly 1 million newly enrolled individuals.
