This article explains the reasons behind the introduction of Minimum Income for School Attendance (MISA) programmes in sub‐Saharan Africa. Following a brief description of the ideas behind these programmes and their advantages over the traditional social security safety nets and guaranteed‐income programmes, we describe the pilot scheme which the government of Mozambique is intending to introduce in 2003 and evaluate its prospects for success and the trade‐offs which will have to be made. We then explore the contribution which such a plan can make to the creation of a social protection system, which still does not exist in Mozambique
