Mozambican Civil Society Within: Evaluation, Challenges, Opportunities and Action
According to INE, about 70% of CSO resources come from overseas, with strong involvement
by international NGOs or linkages with international donor entities. Private companies and families
contribute 25% and the government/state only 3%. Over 52% of financial transfers are
concentrated in Maputo city (Figure 3.1.8).

Another important imbalance in the distribution of financial resources is their heavy concentration.
Only 1% of CSOs concentrate about 42% of financial revenue. This means that the Gini index,
an indicator of the concentration of distribution, is 0.940 i.e. very close to the maximum value
(1) or absolute inequality (Figure 3.1.9a).
3.1.6.2 Human Resources
The CINBSFLU (2006: 56-57) also provides information on the distribution of human resources
in CSOs. As in the case of financial resources, CSO human resources are heavily concentrated.
Only 1% of the units surveyed employ about one third of all CSOs human resources in
Mozambique. So the GINI Index for human resources reaches 0.739, and the area of
concentration between the Lorenz Curve and the equality line is 45 degrees (Figure 3.1.9 b).
