IFC, 202403Solutions · The seven stars · Perfect Capita
Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards, set with Mozambique in its own prices.
How Perfect Capita worksTap a star for its figure and source.
The price of Perfect Mozambique
To be set with Mozambique, from its own figures and in its own prices: Perfect Capita times the people of Mozambique, each year.
Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Mozambique. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures
Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.
Solution No. 22
Future gas revenue finances clean cooking now, rather than after first gas.
~33mMozambicans who cook without clean fuel
Under your northern sea lies one of the largest gas finds of the century. … Gas will earn. The question is who it will earn for.
“Gas will pay for decades. Write every citizen’s share into the contract before the first cargo sails.”
