Book launch: Mozambique at a Fork in the Road – The Institutional Diagnostic Project
On the 20 March, the Inclusive growth in Mozambique (IGM) programme will organize the launch of a book entitled Mozambique at a Fork in the Road, part of the Economic Development & Institutions (EDI) programme, and published by Cambridge University Press. The launch event will take place in Maputo, Mozambique.
The event is structured around an overall introduction of the book and presentations of selected chapters by the editorial group, followed by an intervention by the key speaker and a Q&A session.
The book is based on the Mozambique Institutional Diagnostic study, carried out between 2019–2020 within the scope of the Economic Development & Institutions (EDI) programme in partnership with the IGM programme. The study was launched on 12 June 2019 and resulted in the presentation of a draft report on 4 November 2020 in Maputo. The project now culminates with the publication of a book published by Cambridge University Press.
Please note that the language used in this in-person event is Portuguese and that no simultaneous interpretation will be available. The photos of the event will be used for publicity purposes after the event.
Please note that this event is by invitation only.
