This Joint Staff Assessment (JSA) of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper Progress Report
for the Republic of Mozambique, prepared by the staffs of both the World Bank and IMF, was submitted with the
member country's Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) or Interim PRSP (IPRSP) to the Executive boards of the
two institutions. A JSA evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of a country's poverty reduction objectives and strategies, and
considers whether the PRSP or IPRSP provides a sound basis for concessional assistance from the Bank and Fund, as well as for debt
relief under the Enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Debt Initiative. The Boards then dicide whether the poverty
reduction strategy merits such support.
