tives of these institutions who participated in the CRM were Dr Gladys Mutangadura, Mr Guillermo Mangue Nnandongo and Dr Mzwanele Griffiths Mfunwa, all from UNECA; and Mr Dawit Makonnen representing the AfDB. The APR Panel further acknowledges the assistance provided by the APRM Secretariat to the Mozambique review process. Dr Afeikhena Jerome, Mr Ferdinand Katendeko, Dr Francis Chigunta and Ms Gertrude Takawira represented the Secretariat on the CRM and provided invaluable support to the thematic groups. The work of the CRM was also facilitated by logistical support from Ms Dorothy Mwangi. Dr Jerome also coordinated the drafting of this Country Review Report (CRR). Last, but not least, we thank the specialists and experts who contributed to drafting background papers on Mozambique in the four thematic areas of the APRM. These papers were very useful in complementing and validating the findings of the CSAR. v
