COVID-19 Response In Mozambique

Mozambique Platform for Social Protection (PSCM-PS) has advocated for the introduction of an unemployment benefit to informal workers already registered with the INSS and to consider a special subsidy to be paid to all beneficiaries registered in the subsystem of basic social services. In addition to advice, the National Social Action Institute (INAS) considers “expanding the coverage of its programs to all candidates on the waiting list and increasing subsidies over the next six months, to compensate households for loss of income.
