    Mozambique

    Mozambique currently has one of the highest rates of land concessions throughout Africa. In the coming years, if large-scale land concession grants to private investors are not carefully controlled, the amount of land still held and managed by rural Mozambicans will decrease significantly, with associated negative impacts on already impoverished rural communities.

    Miombo woodlands stretch across Southern
    Africa in a belt from Angola and the Democratic Republic of
    Congo (DRC) in the west to Mozambique in the east. The
    miombo region covers an area of around 2.4 million km. In
    some areas, miombo has been highly degraded as a result of
    human use (southern Malawi and parts of Zimbabwe), while in
    others, it remains relatively intact (such as in parts of
    northern Mozambique, and in isolated areas of Angola and the

    This report is based on seven background
    papers comprising household studies, national level
    analyses, and technical assessments. Household studies were
    undertaken in Mozambique and Zambia to develop a clearer
    picture of the role of Miombo woodlands in household
    consumption. These studies were an outcome of intensive,
    seasonal structured household surveys, which have formed the
    core of the original work supported by this project

    The 2014 Global Hunger Index (GHI) report—the ninth in an annual series—presents a multidimensional measure of national, regional, and global hunger. It shows that the world has made progress in reducing hunger since 1990, but still has far to go, with levels of hunger remaining “alarming” or “extremely alarming” in 16 countries. This year’s report focuses on a critical aspect of hunger that is often overlooked: hidden hunger. Also known as micronutrient deficiency, hidden hunger affects more than an estimated 2 billion people globally.

    Der Welthunger-Index (WHI) 2014 stellt die nationale, regionale und weltweite Hungersituation zum neunten Mal in jahrlicher Folge multidimensional dar. Er zeigt, dass bei der globalen Hungerbekampfung seit 1990 Fortschritte erzielt werden konnten, jedoch angesichts sehr ernster oder gar gravierender Hungerwerte in 16 Landern noch immer groser Handlungsbedarf besteht. Der Schwerpunkt dieses Berichts liegt auf einem entscheidenden Aspekt des Hungers, der haufig ubersehen wird, dem verborgenen Hunger.
