The assessment can also help users identify political barriers to more equitable climate...

Resultante de uma investigação com trabalho de campo em Cabo Delgado em 2018 e 2019, este novo Cadernos IESE nº 21, da autoria de Eric Morier-Genoud, explica a origem, natureza, e dinâmica da guerra no norte de Moçambique com base numa análise da historicidade e das dinâmicas internas das sociedades locais.

Nos últimos três anos e meio, Moçambique enfrenta uma violência armada desencadeada por um grupo de natureza jihadista. Com origens na zona norte de Cabo Delgado e localmente conhecido pela designação Al-Shabaab, o grupo surgiu como uma seita religiosa (Morier-Genoud, 2020) e, de seguida, constituiu-se numa unidade militarizada, tendo partido para a violência armada a 5 de Outubro de 2017. Baseado em trabalho de campo nas províncias de Cabo Delgado, Nampula e Niassa, este texto procura...

O presente estudo visa identificar e analisar as narrativas dominantes de deslegitimação do papel da sociedade civil e sua contribuição para a obstrução do espaço cívico em Moçambique.

O estudo pretende providenciar estratégias que se contrapõem às narrativas desqualificadoras, e na construção de novas narrativas. Para o efeito, foram analisadas peças informativas ou opinativas nas redes...

Mozambique’s climate is characterized by relatively uniform temperatures across the country and a north-south rainfall gradient which results in higher more reliable rainfall amounts in the North, and lower more variable rainfall amounts in the South Historical climate analysis for the country shows that temperatures are already increasing and rainfall trends are dominated by year-to-year variability. Livelihoods and agricultural production systems are already being affected by the...

To understand how land-use frontiers emerge, we studied the actors driving investments in Niassa province, Mozambique. Our ethnographic research over 2017-2018 among commercial agriculture and forestry investors shows that successive waves of actors with different backgrounds, motives and business practices, arrived in Niassa to establish farms or plantations yet repeatedly failed. Waves come and go but leave sediments – legacies – that add up to gradually build the conditions for a frontier...

A review of key developments in 2020 with a look toward trends to watch in the coming year.

Neste artigo, usamos 'diários de governação' para analisar as interações entre pessoas pobres e autoridades em contextos de Fragilidade, Conflitos e Violência (FCVAS) em Moçambique. Questionamos os significados de empoderamento e responsabilização, sob ponto de vista de pessoas pobres e marginalizadas, e procuramos perceber como essas pessoas vêem as instituições que as governam, incluindo as que as providenciam bens e serviços básicos, entre os quais os de saúde e segurança. As conclusões...
