Female Labor Force Participation Rate: 78.4%

The majority of working women, over 80%, are in agriculture, while a mere 3% are in industry. USAID’s Engendering Utilities initiative collaborated with Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM), the country’s power utility, to address gender gaps. Despite serving nearly 30% of Mozambique’s population, only 18% of EDM’s 3,400 employees are women, with minimal representation in technical or leadership roles.
