Mozambique: Humanitarian Dashboard (31 October 2016) SITUATION OVERVIEW Significant funding was received from donors in August and September whose impulse spurred UN Agencies, INGOs and implementing partners to scale up their operations. Surge personnel were assigned to the country which OCHA deployed a Humanitarian Affairs Officer and an Information Management Officer in support of the Resident Coordinator’s Office. SETSAN produced its second assessment report that projected a significant increase in the numbers of persons potentially in need until March 2017. The government and partner organizations are waiting for an updated food security assessment to be done in November 2016. From October to March 2017, approximately 1.5 million people will need emergency humanitarian assistance. This number is expected to increase by an additional 190,000 persons that may be affected by possible flooding, storms, and other climatic events during the coming rainy season. Significant below-average 2016 production is limiting household food availability and access, with many poor households already experiencing difficulty meeting their basic food needs in September 2016. Crisis acute food security outcomes (IPC Phase 3) are expected to persist in the South and Central areas of the country, especially as staple food prices continue to be very high and are only likely to peak in February 2017. From July to August, maize grain prices rose by 12 percent on average and were above the five-year average and last year’s prices by 142 and 189 percent, respectively. August prices for substitutes, maize meal and rice, were, respectively, 86 and 78 percent higher than the five-year average.The devaluation of the Mozambican currency has continued, placing even greater pressure on Mozambican families to meet their needs. The agricultural production season began in October and there are informal assessments indicating a gap in terms of seeds availability in country. If this is confirmed, the humanitarian partners may face challenges acquiring seeds to be distributed to affected farmers. Hence, this might create delays in the sowing dates affecting production. UN agencies, implementing partners and the government are in the process of procuring seeds to distribute to affected farmers. Moreover, these latter have access to informal seed networks through which to procure their seed stock although in undefined quantities.

Inhambane province is in a coastal plain composed of a Pleistocene dune system, within which many lakes can be found.

Using the documental archive sources on the Sofala coast we highlight the specifcity of the interaction between the Portuguese and the local communities, the importance of the “non-ofcial” strategies used by the Portuguese in order to be accepted by the local chieftaincies, the impact of their integration into the local and regional networks and how their atitude formed new geographies of power in the area, while exposing political, economic, social, cultural and religious dichotomies.

    The Urban Space of Mafalala: Origin, Evolution, and Characterization

    The Urban Space of Mafalala: Origin, Evolution, and Characterization NUNO SIMÃO GONÇALVES Universidade de Coimbra Universidade Eduardo Mondlane Abstract: In this article, I consider the origin and urban evolution of Mafalala. Mafalala’s interaction with the colonial city generated synapses that fostered the creation of unique cultural environments from which emerged notable personalities of national artistic, sports and political importance. The material and immaterial heritage condensed in Mafalala is immense and encapsulates a considerable part of the history of Mozambique. Keywords: Mozambique; Maputo; Architecture; Urban studies The Mafalala is probably Maputo’s most famous neighborhood, an almost legendary urban space that tends to be associated with the emergence of Mozambican identity and is hence valued as an emblem of African political and cultural opposition to Portuguese colonial rule.1 The creation of Mozambican literature as a national project is deeply rooted in the work of writers and poets such as José Craveirinha and Noémia de Sousa, who portray Mafalala as a 1 This article results from the project “De S.

    Landmines and Spatial Development Appendix I History of Conflict

    Landmines and Spatial Development Appendix I History of Conflict ∗ Giorgio Chiovelliy Stelios Michalopoulosz Universidad de Montevideo Brown University, CEPR and NBER Elias Papaioannoux London Business School, CEPR December 4, 2019 Abstract This appendix provides an overview of two key periods in the recent history of Mozambique that are intimately linked to landmine contamination. The appendix is not intended to be a comprehensive reconstruction of the War of Independence or the subsequent Civil War. Its aim is to highlight, in a concise way, the events that led Mozambique to be a classified as \heavily mined" at the end of hostilities in 1992. We start by going over the war of independence (1964−1974) and then discuss the ensuing civil war (1977 − 1992). Going over the historical narrative is useful, as it highlights the underlying causes of the widespread usage of landmines. It also puts in context the gigantic effort to clear the country from the thousands of minefields after the peace agreement. We conclude by describing socioeconomic conditions at the end of civil war in 1992. ∗Additional material can be found at www.land-mines.com yGiorgio Chiovelli.
