Mozambique's poverty alleviation programme this week received a boost following the approval of a further US$60-million loan by the World Bank.
Mozambique has stepped up efforts to develop electrical energy generation projects as a way of responding to the crisis faced by most countries in the southern African region, state media reported on Friday.
Positive response by smallholder farmers and family owned businesses was the backbone of success in Mozambique's pro-poor growth policies, a new World Bank report said.

Zimbabwe's inflation rate, already the highest in the world, has
