Mozambique like many other developing countries has faced lack of information and
sometimes there is no detailed information about the poverty and inequality at district levels.
This research investigates the quality of growth in Sofala province, a province which is
located in the central region of Mozambique. Since the quality of growth comes from the
analysis of poverty and inequality indicators, the research specifically investigates the
relationship between growth, poverty and inequality thorough an assessment of the pro-poor
growth of Sofala province during the period of 1996 to 1997 and 2002 to 2003
