Particularnote should be taken of Zambezia in the centre, withgrowth rates of 34% and 34.5% respectively, and ofCabo Delgado in the north with 27.5% and 29.2%.This growth is attributed to efforts made in education(both public and private), in the expansion of accessto education and improved quality of schooling.50000Maputo province and Sofala province also show realper capita GDP that is higher than the national average– but Maputo Province has a per capita GDP thatis twice as high as that of Sofala.Evolution of the HDIand the GDIThe data from the period under analysis allow us tonote that the level of human development, both nationaland in the administrative regions, is continuing torise gradually, as a result of economic and social performance,which has been expressed in the positiveevolution of both the HDI and the GDI (Table 2.5).In fact, the national HDI grew by about 17.3%between 2001 and 2006. Over the same period, theGDI experienced parallel behaviour, with growth ofabout 22.5%.
