PROGREEN - Supporting Integrated Management of Miombo Forest and Resilient Food

Mozambique’s miombo forest provides a wide range of ecosystem services but faces significant challenges. Deforestation rates are alarming, threatening the country’s natural resources. To address this, the World Bank launched a study on “Supporting Integrated Management of Miombo Forest and Resilient Food Production in Zambezia”. Agriculture, which is vital to Mozambique’s development, needs to increase its productivity to realize its full potential. As part of this initiative, the project includes two in-depth analyses: one assessing the drivers of deforestation in Zambezia Province, and another providing a high-level assessment of land degradation across Mozambique. Unique, together with GMV, was contracted to conduct the econometric and emission price analysis, and to produce the agricultural suitability map.
