Mozambique, was nearing completion at the end of FY2011. The reviewed and finalized version will

The Urban Land Survey covering over 1700 households in two municipalities in Nampula province
and the first half of the Rural Land Survey covering 900 households in Cabo Delgado province were
conducted in FY2011. Songqing Jin and Mywish Maredia designed the survey methodology and
Ellen Payongayong finalized the survey instrument and worked with David Megill on the sample and
with Raul Pitoro and the MINAG staff in implementing the survey. Ellen Payongayong also provided
logistical and operational support to DE given that MINAG/DE is currently understaffed. Raul Pitoro
was shifted to full time on MCC. For further information on the Mozambique Compact, see
