Mozambique Floods Reinforce Persistent Multidimensional Poverty

Rosita, a baby born during 2000 floods, died of anaemia on 12 January 2026 amid renewed Limpopo floods that affected over 600,000 people in late January. Research from the Inclusive Growth in Mozambique programme shows multidimensional poverty stalled after 2015, widening spatial inequalities and increasing rural vulnerability. Authors call for timely cash transfers, rapid livelihood restoration and sustained public investment to build resilience.
