National basic social security strategy (2016 - 2024)

The National Basic Social Security Strategy (ENSSB) 2016-2024 seeks to achieve the Government’s Five Year Programme for 2015-2019, through implementing actions that contribute to reducing poverty and vulnerability, ensuring that the results of the growth of the Mozambican economy benefit all citizens, particularly those living in situations of poverty and vulnerability. Drawing up the present Strategy was based on targets set in the National Development Strategy 2015-2035, Agenda 2063 of the African Union, and the Sustainable Development Goals approved by the United Nations. Taken together, these stress the dynamic and promotional approach of social protection and the potential of the basic social security instruments to strengthen human, productive and social capital, as well as the capacity for resilience of the most vulnerable households and individuals.
