    Mozambique

    Mozambique's continuous efforts to
    sustain economic growth and reduce poverty face a number of
    constraints including its economic and political history,

    continue to rely on its natural resources base and,
    specifically, on sustainable use of land and water
    resources. Mozambique has plentiful land and water resources
