Mozambique: Economic Reform and Reconstruction

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Case-Studies in Economic Development ((CASIED))

Abstract

Mozambique today faces the enormous task of rebuilding its economy and society after a sixteen-year war which killed or maimed over one million people and destroyed much of the rural economy’s infrastructure. Since the end of the war in 1992, some four million refugees have returned home to reconstruct their lives in a country which has seen its schools and clinics destroyed and its fields sown with land mines. To cope with the many demands of reconstruction the Government has at its disposal only limited public revenues and an overstretched administration.
