PROGREEN - Supporting Integrated Management of Miombo Forest and Resilient Food

Mozambique’s Miombo forest provides many 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, vital to Mozambique’s development, must 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 and GMV were contracted to conduct the econometric and emission price analysis and produce the agricultural suitability map.
