Maputo (MOZTIMES) – The lack of prioritisation and the late allocation of financial resources is harming implementation of the Economic and Social Plan and State Budget (PESOE).
Since 2020, the budgetary execution in the health sector has been marked by downwards oscillations, which do not reach even 50 per cent of what was planned, showing a worrying deficit in the health sector’s capacity to absorb resources, according to the Citizens’ Health Observatory (OCS).
In the first half of this year, 2024, execution was only 21.3 billion meticais, out of a total of 63 billion meticais. Hence, the level of execution was only 34%. In 2020, 41% of the envisaged budget was executed, but the following year (2021) execution fell to 35%. In 2022, it reached the maximum of 45%, but in the following years (2023 and 2024) it fell to 34%.
