Mozambique is not often cited as a poster boy for the African growth story. Compared to its wealthier peers in
sub-Saharan Africa it remains a relative minnow. Unlike its cousins in west Africa, it does not have vast resources of oil to tap and its mineral wealth is limited. The country still relies heavily on donor aid, which makes up almost 6% of gross domestic product (GDP) and subsistence farming continues to employ the majority of Mozambicans.
