The civil war in Mozambique finally came to an end in 1992. Yet for its 16 million people, another struggle was just beginning: to repair the shattered fabric of their lives and to forge a truly Mozambican nation. Rachel Waterhouse explains the background to the conflict, and examines its impact on the lives of Mozambican citizens; on traditional values and social structures; and on health and education services. She finds signs of hope emerging all over the country, despite the nation's ruinous debts and the legacy of colonial neglect. Rachel Waterhouse is a journalist and researcher. Married to a Mozambican, with two young children, she has lived and worked in Mozambique for seven years. She observed the impact of the civil war and the progress of the peace process at first hand. For this book she travelled all over the country to interview ex-combatants from both sides, official mediators, and civilians from a wide range of communities. Mozambique: Rising from the Ashes is illustrated with specially commissioned photographs by Mozambican photographer Carlos Mhula and international photographer Jenny Matthews.

This book is all about my past experiences in Mozambique, Africa, and memorable times in India-travel experiences, safaris, family life, eating habits, and just altogether wonderful times.

When data are available after 2003, the assessment uses them, including data from a special non representative survey developed for this report - the poverty and vulnerability survey. The starting point for the analysis uses multiple quantitative and qualitative indicators that describe levels of and changes in opportunities and outcomes for households and communities in Mozambique since 1997. The rest of the report explains these changes."--BOOK JACKET.
