Mozambique

While Mozambique is a signatory to the 1951 convention, it has made some reservations regarding certain articles, resulting in no acceptances of RSD cases since 2011. Due to continued hostilities, the number of new arrivals in the country is set to 160 PoC per month. Currently there are 27,458 PoCs in the country mostly residing in urban settings as camps are used mainly for registration (GFI). PoCs in the country have access to formal work permits, land/resources, freedom of movement, financial services as well as owning a business. There are livelihood opportunities for PoC, but the vast majority are in the informal sector.
