Mozambique. In the 42 years following its independence, Mozambique faced a 16-year civil
war from 1976/77 to 1992, an interim period of peace that lasted 20 years, and recurring, low-
level conflict involving the same belligerents since 2013. This case study examines the
conflict dynamics in post-independence Mozambique, and how the private sector has
developed in response to both conflict and peace.
