UNESCO (September 2001) * "Ondas Comunitarias" (Community Waves). 52 min. Video documentary on the creation of Community Radios in Homoine, Chimoio and Cuamba. UNESCO (October 2001). Preface The emergence of community radio in various parts of the world was directly linked to grass roots movements using radio as a tool to reach their constituencies - the community. Until recently, this has not been the case in Mozambique. After years of censorship, from the colonial era to that of the single party press, the open and democratic Mozambican Press Law (in force since 1991) radically changed the legal environment in which the country's media operate. From 1995 onwards, a state body, the Mass Communications Institute (ICS), and the Catholic Church, have started radios with a community orientation. Increasingly, independent stations, based on civic associations, are beginning to appear. The present book deals with the first important stage of social mobilisation of three community-oriented stations, based on civic organisations controlled by communities in the south, centre and north of the country.

  • AGRICULTURE and HIV/AIDS in MOZAMBIQUE: a DISCUSSION Isolde Prommer
    AGRICULTURE AND HIV/AIDS IN MOZAMBIQUE: A DISCUSSION Isolde Prommer Introduction Mozambique is a large, semi-arid to sub-tropical country in the southeastern region of southern Africa, with a wide range of biodiversity and high HIV infection rates (16% of adults aged 15-19 are HIV positive; Wils et al. 2001). This paper discusses the prospects of agricultural development in Mozambique at the beginning of the 21st century within the HIV/AIDS pandemic, which is of widespread concern in Mozambique and sub-Saharan Africa. The study reviews the relevant literature in English, Portuguese, and German, obtained from on-line sources as well as from international libraries, and is in no way a fully comprehensive analysis of the issue. Less attention was given to the interrelationship between the epidemic and agricultural development on a large scale. The first section describes the natural conditions, which are the basis for agricultural production. Major environmental changes, which would make the environment increasingly vulnerable, are expected to take place. The second section gives the history of agricultural production on the national level and focuses on the production systems of the majority of the rural farmers, the family farms sector, by province. It will be increasingly necessary to maintain components of the varied traditional management systems to minimize environmental deterioration and keep biodiversity as a secure basis for the poorest farmers in the country, especially in the era of HIV/AIDS. The third section summarizes the known impacts of HIV/AIDS on agricultural production and farming systems in the southern African region, made available by a number of empirical case studies and surveys.

According to a report in the daily “O Pais”, Renamo replied on 7 March to President Nyusi’s latest offer, and once again demanded the presence of foreign mediators in any future dialogue.

Coyne Nematologist International Institute of Tropical Agriculture i THESIS ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is an important food crop in Mozambique. The crop is cultivated almost exclusively by smallholder farmers in warm marginal environments of the country. One of the key field hindrances to the success of this crop are rootknot nematodes (Meloidogyne Spp.), that reduce cowpea yield. A study was conducted to establish rootknot nematode distribution, damage intensity (measured by incidence and severity), species identification and cowpea genotypes‟ resistance to Meloidogyne javanica. To assess rootknot nematode distribution and extent of damage, main cowpea growing areas including eight districts in three provinces (Gaza, Inhambane and Nampula) of Mozambique were selected.

By last weekend, registration had still not started in some places. Election officials blame outside contractors, plus their own delayed planning and poor conservation of computer equipment. Registration is done with a neat system which fits in a briefcase. It has a camera and fingerprint reader, computer for data input (now being called the “móbil ID”), and a printer to produce voters cards with picture, fingerprint, voters number, and other details. The card is then sealed in plastic. But one or another part of the system collapsed in many places – computers, batteries and generators did not work, and the plastic to seal the cards was not delivered. João Leopoldo da Costa, president of the National Elections Commission (CNE), stresses that the CNE expected to register fewer than 500,000 people, and thus the six week registration period should provide sufficient time, even if registration brigades were unable to work for some periods.

Reports are confused and contradictory, but television crews, community radio, and mobile telephones mean there is much more reporting than during the war 20 years ago. Fighting yesterday has been confirmed at Pembe, Homoine district, Inhambane. Mediafax today reports six members of the Mozambican riot police (FIR) killed in the fighting, while STV reports two Renamo deaths. Mediafax Monday reported that 70 and 100 Renamo men, some of them carrying AK-47 assault rifles, last week re-occupied what had been its main base in Inhambane during the 1981-92 war, at Nhamungue in Pembe, Homoine district, Inhambane. Residents told Mediafax that the armed men spoke Portuguese, as well as Ndau and Sena, the languages of Sofala province, but not local languages from Inhambane. Renamo national spokesperson, Fernando Mazanga, confirmed at a press conference today that the men are from Renamo, AIM reports. AIM also reports that STV interviewed people in the area who said armed men had gone from house to house asking for food and water.
