Reliable social security statistics are an important precondition for good governance and policy making. However, in many countries, the quantitative knowledge base on social security is incomplete and often does not follow international statistical standards.

The ILO Social Security Inquiry identifies statistical information on social security, including employment-related social security schemes, public health, welfare and anti-poverty programmes and non-public schemes of different types transferring goods, services or cash to poor and vulnerable households.

Data availability in SSI Mozambique

Two main sources of data have been used for the information available in the Social Security Inquiry in Togo
  1. The ISSA Statistical Data Base on Social Security in Developing Countries which provides data mainly on expenditure and revenue for long-term benefits and employment injury provided by INSS
  2. and national data sources: INSS and INAS annual reports

The coverage in terms of social security programmes is limited ¿ for the time being ¿ to the main formal social security schemes and programmes. Public health expenditure have been taken into account using WHO National Health Account data. This preliminary picture needs to be updated and will be further completed with other existing private social protection interventions. Depending on the scheme, data are available from 2000 to 2008.
