In plain words
20.5% of population
What it is. Internet users counts the share of people in Mozambique who use the internet, whatever the device or place of access. A person who goes online occasionally counts the same as one online all day. Frequency, speed and cost of access sit outside the measure.
Higher is better. More people online means wider reach for information, schooling, public services and markets, so a higher share is better. The latest figure is 20.5% of population in 2024, up from 19.9% of population a year earlier, a gain of 0.58 percentage points. Since 2015 the share has ranged from 6.5% of population in 2015 up to 20.5% of population in 2024. The latest reading is therefore the highest in that span.
Why it matters. At 20.5% of population, most people in Mozambique are still offline. Households outside that group have little access to online banking, job listings or remote learning. Firms that sell or take payments online can reach only a minority of customers, and the state's digital public services serve a similarly limited share of citizens.
