  • 21 January 2004
    Famine Early Warning Systems Network 21 January 2004 Highlights o Rainfall has been well below normal in much of central and southern Mozambique this season, raising fears of a third consecutive drought year. o In addition, temperatures have been above normal, increasing evaporation rates and reducing soil moisture. o A district-by-district rainfall analysis shows that rainfall totals in much of central and southern region are below 50% of normal for the period. Eastern Inhambane and Gaza Provinces are the worst affected areas with shortfalls ranging from 17 to 29% of normal. In meteorological terms, less than 75% of normal rain over an extended period is considered a drought. More than half of the country meets this definition at present. The effects on agriculture depend on when crops were planted and how much longer the rains continue. o The poor rainfall has already affected agriculture in most of the southern region, where rains start earlier. The first planting has failed in much of the southern region, and households had to replant at least once. The amount of rainfall in January and February will determine whether these second and third plantings will succeed. o In the provinces of Manica, Sofala, and Tete crops are showing signs of marked stress, but because the season starts later and lasts longer in these areas, most plants could recover if substantial rainfall occurs in January and February. Some rains are forecast for mid-January in the central regions. o River and dam levels in areas south of the Save River are below both last year (a drought year) and the longer-term average.

  • Assessment of Coverage of Preventive Treatment and Insecticide-Treated
    Salomão et al.

This study was conducted with the aim to assess the uptake of IPTp and ITNs in pregnant women attending ANC services and correlate with ANC attendance and frequency of stock-outs in 22 health facilities Mozambique. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between July and December 2011 in 22 health units in 11 districts situated in 11 provinces in Mozambique. Two health facilities were selected per district (one urban and one rural). Data were collected by reviewing logbooks of antenatal consultations as well as from monthly district reports. Results: During the period under investigation, a total of 23,524 pregnant women attended their 1st antenatal care visits, of which 12,775 (54.3%) and 7581 (32.2%) received one and two doses of IPTp, respectively. In regard to ITNs, a total of 16,436 (69.9%) pregnant women received ITNs. Uptake of IPTp and ITNs by pregnant women at ANC services was higher in southern Mozambique and lower in districts situated in the northern part of the country.

GENERAL OVERVIEW Mozambique was colonized by Portugal for nearly 500 years before gaining independence in 1975. The new country faced a devastating civil war and fiscal difficulties upon independence, and was unable to develop a secure government or economy until the 1990s. Free and fair elections, as well as economic reform, improved overall stability. However, high-level corruption in the Mozambican government appears to have increased in recent years. Mozambique faces many additional challenges today, including a struggling economy, extremely limited infrastructure, and high levels of crime and disease. Mozambique is located in southeastern Africa, and borders Malawi, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the Indian Ocean. The climate is generally tropical, though some variation exists depending on location. Mozambique's capital, Maputo, is located in the south. Virtually all of the Mozambican population is ethnically African and divided into smaller tribal groups. The official language is Portuguese, though Emakhuwa is most widely spoken. English is also spoken in tourist areas. The population is religiously diverse, with some 50 percent practicing Christianity of some form.

  • Traditional Forms of Common Property Rights: a Case Study in Southern Mozambique1
    Traditional Forms of Common Property Rights: A Case Study in Southern Mozambique1 Arlindo Gonçalo Chilundo and Boaventura Manuel Cau Nucleus for Land and Development Studies, Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique Phone/Fax: (258-1)494743 E-Mail: [email protected] Summary Traditional systems of common property rights in natural resources management have existed over a long time in Mozambique. These are systems that have been, for so long, ignored and considered inappropriate, but nowadays they are being recognized as effective instruments in sustainable use of natural resources. At present, land, forestry and wildlife resources are state property and there is evidence that the state is too weak, in some places, to implement sustainable resource use and management. The Mozambican colonial and post-independence legislation, which did not recognize the traditional systems of natural resources management, has contributed to the erosion of the community sense of ownership over resources. However, one of the principles defended by the new land, forestry and wildlife laws is the recognition of local communities' participation in sustainable use and management of natural resources thereby entrenching community property rights. However, these are new laws that are beginning to be implemented. There is indeed a gap between the laws and their practical application in that the pertinent regulations are still being developed. In Southern Mozambique, there have been traditional forms of natural resources management based on common property rights. The examples include: (1) exploitation of mussels; (2) salt extraction; (3) fishing in lagoons and use of traditional water sources; (4) common use of sacred areas; (5) common use of rangelands; (6) common use of medicinal plants and some wild fruits; (7) common use of Miombo forests for mushroom collection, and (8) common use of forests for various other wood and non-wood forest products.

Anaemia is a public health problem in mothers and preschool children in Mozambique and up to 40% of these cases are probably due to dietary iron deficiency. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recognize the fortification of foodstuff as an effective method to remedy dietary deficiencies of micronutrients, including iron. Cassava mahewu, a non-alcoholic fermented beverage is prepared at subsistence level from cassava roots using indigenous procedures. The aim of the study was to standardize mahewu fermentation and investigate if the type of cassava fermented, or the iron compound used for fortification affected the final product.

  • A Land of Contrasts
    Mozambique A Land of Contrasts When Portuguese explorers reached Mozambique in 1498, Arab-trading settlements had existed along the coast and outlying islands for several centuries. From about 1500, Portuguese trading posts and forts became regular ports of call on the new route to the east. Later, traders and prospectors invaded the interior regions seeking gold and slaves. Although both Portuguese and Arabic influences have gradually diminished, there still remains a rich tapestry of these cultures within the region today. Take a long walk on a far-flung sandbar at sunset, enjoy mouth-watering fresh seafood, swim in the warm tropical ocean, all whilst spotting dolphins and the rare dugong. Mozambique is a truly breath-taking mosaic of culture and tropical beaches. PASSPORT & VISA REQUIREMENTS Please note that you will need two blank pages in your passport for immigration. Your passport must be valid for six months after your departure date from Mozambique. All nationalities, except South African passport holders, require a Visa to enter Mozambique. Citizens from countries that require a Visa to enter Mozambique will be able to get these on arrival at 44 border posts in Mozambique, including Maputo International Airport and the Port of Maputo, as well as border posts such as Ressano Garcia, Ponto D’ouro, Giriyondo, Vilanculos Airport, Inhambane Airport, Beira Airport, Pemba Airport and Nampula Airport, among others. The Mozambican government has doubled the cost of entry Visas with immediate effect. All single entry Visas applied for in foreign travellers’ countries of origin will be affected by the fee increase. The cost of a single entry Visa, valid for 30 days, has increased from US $50 to US $102.
