DFID Mozambique launches new Country Assistance Plan and Country Governance Analysis for consultation

In 1990 Mozambique was the poorest country in the world. Since peace was restored in 1992, Mozambique has made huge strides in sustaining peace and stability, generating economic growth and tackling poverty. Much has been done, but huge challenges remain. The new PRSP agreed in May 2006 (known as PARPA II), sets out targets which put Mozambique on track for reaching the majority of the MDGs by 2015. However, reaching these targets will require further progress, particularly in the area of service delivery. DFID Mozambique has produced a draft of their new CAP which is closely aligned to PARPA II and a new draft Country Governance Assessment which was prepared in close collaboration with the British High Commission in Maputo.
