  2. Educated Empowered Inspired - Transforming lives through the response to HIV and AIDS in East and Southern Africa

    16 March 2016

    Poverty, gender inequality and social exclusion continue to pose major challenges to HIV prevention efforts. Between 2011 and 2016, the ILO, in partnership with Sida, implemented an innovative economic empowerment programme amongst hard-to -reach populations in transport corridors and vulnerable communities in Southern and East Africa, with the aim of reducing their vulnerability to the HIV epidemic. This publication presents the outcomes of this innovative approach and the effects it had on its beneficiaries.

  3. NATIONAL BASIC SOCIAL SECURITY STRATEGY (English Version)

    07 March 2016

    The National Basic Social Security Strategy (ENSSB) 2016-2024 sets the Government of Mozambique’s vision towards reducing poverty and vulnerability through non-contributory social protection programmes. The ILO supported the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Action (MGCAS) in the analytical and policy engagement process that led to the approval of the ENSSB 2016-2024 by the Council of Ministers in February 2016

  4. Building a social protection floor in Mozambique

    10 October 2011

    Mozambique is a low-income country with high levels of poverty, informal and rural labour. Seriously affected by HIV and AIDS and exposed to climatic shocks and crises such as floods and droughts, the country’s institutions only have a limited capacity to deal with such shocks and offer social protection for the poor and vulnerable population. To address these challenges, an ILO technical cooperation project financed by Portugal works, together with other UN Agencies, to improve public policies and strengthen institutional capacity for the extension of social protection in Mozambique and other Portuguese-speaking African countries.
