Abstract:
Survey results suggest a sharp divide in food security status between households in the formal and informal areas of Maputo. Given the differences in infrastructure access between these areas, and the close relationship between infrastructure access and food insecurity in Maputo, the informal/formal divide may be a physical manifestation of severe inequality across multiple deprivations in the city. Most households source their food from city markets, small shops and informal vendors. This report builds on the comprehensive audit of the city’s food system in the second of the Hungry Cities reports, "The Urban Food System of Maputo, Mozambique (2016)".
