Urban poverty and rural-urban linkages, Mozambique

DPU’s research input into a larger project on urbanisation and municipal development in Mozambique (also coordinated by the DPU; see above) sought to examine the extent to which the urban and peri-urban poor have benefited from the economic growth the country has seen in recent years, while documenting the capacity of municipal authorities to contribute to poverty reduction in the context of their new responsibilities following a decentralisation process.
