Evaluating the impact of the Basic Social Subsidy Programme on elderly well-being in Mozambique

This report presents results of a quantitative evaluation of the impact of the elderly component of Mozambique’s Basic Social Subsidy Programme (PSSB) on beneficiaries’ well-being. In doing so, the report responds to a request made by the Mozambican Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Action (MGCAS), which administers the PSSB program, to the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF). In turn, MEF turned to its partnership under the Inclusive Growth in Mozambique Programme (IGM) to fulfil this request.

Data collection for this report was carried out with remarkable dedication and professionalism by many colleagues. Between May and August 2024, the Mozambican NGO ANSA managed a team of 48 enumerators and 3 main field supervisors to conduct the data collection.
