"Mozambique: a decade of peace between poverty and dream" October 2005
Mozambique. On a bus on the way to the north of the country. From Maputo to Nampula by bus it's a 3-4 days trip. Sometimes they have to wait one day more to cross the Zambesi river.
In 1994, Mozambique was one of the poorest countries of the world. The reconstruction and the structural reform were entrusted to the IMF. According to the macroeconomic data, which indicates an annual growth of the GNP of 10-12% since 1997, the country is in full economic boom. But is it really a success? The truth is that a big percentage of the population, approximately 18 million people, is still living under the minimal poverty level, which is a dollar a day. The World Bank cynically defines this phenomenon a "growth with poverty". After a decade of peace and political stability, Mozambique is still one of the poorest countries of the world, the 170th of 175 countries.
