Tal como procedeu no caso da passagem da tutela da ADIN para Celso Correia, o CDD defende que a Agência do Zambeze deve estar sob tutela do Conselho de Ministros e a sua direcção deve prestar contras ao Primeiro-Ministro. À semelhança da ADIN, a Agência do Zambeze tem uma visão holística de desenvolvimento e uma actuação transversal que abrange todos os sectores económicos e sociais do Governo, pelo que não faz sentido a sua direcção responder a um Ministro responsável por um único sector,...

For almost three years, the ISIS-affiliated extremist group Ansar al-Sunna has spearheaded an insurgency in Mozambique’s northern province of Cabo Delgado. In recent months the situation in Cabo Delgado has deteriorated significantly and violent attacks are now frequent. Militants have begun to target military positions having previously focused on civilian targets. It is a sign that the group is growing in resilience, operational capacity and confidence. From its first few attacks in...

According to the Homeland Security Today website, the statement lists "guidelines for dealing with the epidemic". For the Islamic State, the main advice is "to trust God and take refuge in Him from disease", but followers have an "obligation" to take protective measures to prevent it. Among these measures, the terrorist group emphasizes that "the healthy should not enter the land of the epidemic and the sick must not leave it". According to the council, terrorists should not travel to Europe...

Youth hubs discuss economic exclusion. Unemployment was singled out as the most pressing challenge that young people face. As an answer to unemployment, these young people highlighted that education must equip students with relevant skills to be innovative and entrepreneurs, and to be competitive in the labor market.

Analisa as dinâmicas da insurgência em Cabo Delgado e procura interrogar o que Moçambique pode aprender dos seus ciclos de violência armada, particularmente a guerra civil, para fazer face ao actual conflito no Norte do país.

Since the October 2017 attacks by alleged Islamist insurgents, commonly referred to as Ahlu Sunnah Wa-Jama and locally know as Al Shabab, on Mocimboa da Praia, it has not been entirely clear who the attackers were, what their strategic objectives are and on whose domestic and international support they rely. This paper, grounded in a historical understanding of conflict in northern Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado Province, seeks to identify possible stakeholders and scenarios in what we no longer see as an insurgency, but a war.

Mozambique’s debt remains in distress, which is unchanged from the previous DSA published in June 2019. Consideringthat, to a large extent, future borrowingand governmentguarantees reflect state participation in the sizable liquified natural gas (LNG) development, debt is deemed sustainable in a forward-looking sense. Participation in the recently announced G20 initiative would provide debt service relief in the near term, thus flattening the projected sharp deterioration in debt liquidity...

The Coronavirus pandemic arrives in Mozambique at a time when, after several years of modest economic performance, the Mozambican economy was starting to show signs of recovery. Hence, the latest projections of the IMF of November 2019 had the Mozambican economy growing at 6% in 2020, with medium term projections reaching 9% and above after 2023, following the initiation of LNG exploration operations in the north of the country. Despite this improving macroeconomic outlook prior to the...

Frelimo and President Filipe Nyusi swept away the opposition in the 15 October 2019 general elections, matching Armando Guebuza's 2009 landslide. But there were widespead reports of misconduct. On a 52% turnout, Nyusi won 73% of the vote with over 50% in all provinces. Frelimo won majorities in all provincial parliaments and in the first ever election of governors, Frelimo won all ten.

O impacto do terrorismo em Moçambique é uma realidade que não se restringe apenas à zona Norte do país. O IDeIAS nº 137, da autoria de Moisés Siúta, procura discutir as suas implicações nos sistemas formais de protecção social tendo em conta o desafio que enfrentam de garantir protecção e bem-estar social da população nas regiões mais afectadas sem, no entanto, deixar para trás a população vulnerável a diversos riscos como seca, cheias e a pandemia.

The development of infrastructure in Africa is critical for fostering economic growth and improving the living standards of Africans. It contributes significantly to human development, poverty reduction, and the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Investment in infrastructure accounts for over half of the improvements in economic growth in Africa witnessed over the last decade and has the potential to contribute much more, given a conducive environment.

Since initial exploratory drilling in 2007 by U.S. operator Anadarko, Mozambique has uncovered vast natural gas volumes within its offshore basins, and now carries the potential to be the fourth largest natural gas exporter globally. With discoveries ranging from Anadarko’s initial 480 feet of gas found in Area 1 in 2010, to Eni’s discovery of 425 billion cubic meters one year later, the onus now lies on major operators including Royal Dutch Shell, Total, Eni and more to develop the...

“Mozambique faces five major challenges: violence between political camps, impunity with regard to corruption, violations of human rights, the debt crisis and the security threat of Islamist terrorism.”

The region of modern-day Mozambique has always been strategic for global trade. Since at least the medieval period its coasts have been visited by traders from India, Somalia, Ethiopia, and beyond. Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama arrived in 1498, marking the beginning of nearly 500 years of Portuguese colonial rule of the territory. Mozambique achieved independence from Portugal in 1975, but subsequently experienced a series of civil wars from 1977 to 1992. Democratic elections in 1994...

No final do seminário e das oficinas-grupos de trabalho procedeuse a um debate aberto para partilha das reflexões e identificação de conclusões principais: • A participação em espaços de consulta/decisão está muito condicionada pela falta de conhecimentos de quem participa, mas também pela falta de transparência e assimetria da informação. • A exclusão social está na base da pouca ou fraca participação e monitoria. • A qualidade da monitoria nos processos de governação e desenvolvimento é...

A governação local em Moçambique continua a desenvolver-se em duas vertentes: a desconcentração de poderes, através dos órgãos locais do Estado (secretarias de Estado da província, administrações distritais, etc), e a devolução do poder através dos órgãos de poder local (presidentes de conselhos autárquicos e governadores provinciais eleitos). O processo de criação de autarquias tem sido muito lento e a maioria dos cidadãos vive em áreas geridas pelos órgãos locais do estado e não por órgãos...

The Action for Empowerment and Accountability Research Programme (A4EA) examines different forms of social and political action to understand how and under what conditions they contribute to real world change, including gains in empowerment for the most excluded and marginalised, and for increased accountability of authorities. A4EA work is highly relevant to FCDO’s expressed goals of developing research-led solutions to building open societies and supporting conflict resolution, including...
