Norwegian budget support to Mozambique : Desk Appraisal

Norway has contributed with general budget support to Mozambique since 1996, and considers supporting a new phase of the program. Norad has been requested by the Norwegian Embassy in Maputo to assist in preparing an appraisal as a basis for the decision of allocating funds for the new phase of the program.

This Norad document is a desk appraisal and assesses the relevance of the general budget support program, the experiences with previous support, and the design of the new phase and makes an overall assessment of the balance of risks and expected results with a recommendation to continue general budget support.
