Resumen
Descripción
Mozambique stands at a critical juncture in addressing adolescent girls’ pathways to prosperity. Due to prevailing vulnerabilities, there is momentum to strengthen the country’s educational foundations to comprehensive empowerment that addresses economic and social dimensions simultaneously. By focusing on the areas highlighted in this brief - girls’ school enrolment, preventing child marriage and early childbearing, adapting interventions to vulnerable girls, and supporting school-to-work transition - Mozambique can unlock the potential of its adolescent girls while addressing persistent disparities across geographic, gender, and socioeconomic lines. The economic returns of such investments are substantial, not only for the girls themselves but for the country’s broader development trajectory. Addressing these challenges requires coordinated action across multiple sectors, with interventions tailored to the diverse contexts within Mozambique and particular attention to the most vulnerable populations, particularly those affected by conflict and humanitarian emergencies.
