The Mozambican Statistical Bulletin: a best practice in monitoring the progress of the extension of social protection coverage
The fact sheet presents the Mozambican practice of preparing and publishing an annual National Statistical Bulletin on Social Protection.
This practice demonstrates how this country has successfully developed a tool that harmonizes national data and underpins informed social protection decision-making, based on concrete and comprehensive data. In addition to contributing to defining more efficient policies for extending social protection coverage, the tool also allows the measurement of the progress made towards the SDG target 1.3, which concerns social protection floors.
This note was produced within the framework of the ACTION/Portugal project to strengthen social protection systems in Timor-Leste and the five Portuguese-speaking African Countries called “PALOP”, their Portuguese acronym: Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and São Tomé and Principe. It was funded by the Strategy and Planning Office of the Portuguese Ministry of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security. It was prepared by Ana Carolina Vieira (ILO
Geneva) and revised by Rubén Vicente (ILO Maputo), Nuno de Castro (ACTION – ILO Lisbon) and Inês Mendes (ACTION – ITC/ILO).
