Abstract
This study is a product of the Africa
Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD), a project designed
to expand the world's knowledge of physical
infrastructure in Africa. The AICD provides a baseline
against which future improvements in infrastructure services
can be measured, making it possible to monitor the results
achieved from donor support. It also offers a solid
empirical foundation for prioritizing investments and
designing policy reforms in Africa's infrastructure
sectors. The AICD is based on an unprecedented effort to
collect detailed economic and technical data on African
infrastructure. The project has produced a series of
original reports on public expenditure, spending needs, and
sector performance in each of the main infrastructure
sectors, including energy, information and communication
technologies, irrigation, transport, and water and
sanitation. This report presents the key AICD findings for
Mozambique, allowing the country's infrastructure
situation to be benchmarked against that of its African
peers. Given that Mozambique is poor but stable country,
two sets of African benchmarks will be used to evaluate its
situation: those for non fragile Low Income Countries (LICs)
and those for Middle-Income Countries (MICs). Detailed
comparisons will also be made with immediate regional
neighbors in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
