In 2010, the Upper Limpopo Border Livelihood Zone was divided into two livelihood zones: the Upper Limpopo Alto Semi-Arid Maize and Groundnuts Border Livelihood Zone (AMG); and its other semi-arid counterpart in the Upper Limpopo Basin, the Upper Limpopo Alto Semi-Arid Charcoal (ACH) Livelihood Zone. Both livelihood zones are located in the northern half of Gaza Province in southern Mozambique. They are also both characterized as ‘alto’ areas – the term ‘alto’ denoting areas without access to the Limpopo or Elefantes Rivers. For the purposes of this report, the former livelihood zone lies primarily in alto areas of Chicualacuala District, while the latter zone lies primarily in alto areas of Massingir District.
