  • Mozambique Country Profile

    Mozambique Country Profile

    MOZAMBIQUE COUNTRY PROFILE Following a long civil war, Mozambique has transitioned to peace, stability, and economic growth. It now provides an essential link between landlocked neighbors and the global marketplace. Mozambique's ties to South Africa’s industrial heartland underscore the fact that the country’s economic, political, and social progress is vital to the interests of the region. Mozambique's recent economic downturn has exacerbated the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, malaria and high infant mortality, and resulted in a distressingly low life expectancy of just 50 years. USAID’s programs in economic growth, health and education address these challenges and open new opportunities. OUR WORK AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY USAID / Agriculture continues to be the mainstay of the economy, but has declined to less than a quarter of GDP and accounts for more than 70% of employment of the economically active population. USAID is working to improve the overall performance of the agricultural sector, with the goal of increasing productivity, improving resilience, and generating higher incomes for farmers and their families to reduce hunger, poverty, and under-nutrition. ALEX LARRIEUX DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS AND GOVERNANCE Good governance has emerged as one of Mozambique's greatest challenges. The lack of transparency and effective accountability is central to the ongoing fiscal crisis, and has contributed to the reemergence of armed conflict, most recently in the north of Cabo Delgado Province. USAID works to strengthen and promote democracy and good governance in Mozambique through activities that advance local media independence and sustainability, strengthen the rule of law, promote free and fair elections, and empower civil society.
