Multi- Scalar Governance Sixteen years following Mozambique’s independence in 1975 and civil war (1975-1992), the government of Mozambique began to decentralize. The Minister of State Administration pushed for greater citizen involvement at local levels of government. Expanding citizen engagement led to the question of what role traditional leaders, or chiefs who wield strong community influence, would play in local governance.1 Last year, President Filipe Nyusi announced plans to change the constitution and to give political parties more power in the provinces. The Ministry of State Administration and Public Administration are also progressively implementing a decentralization process aimed at transferring the central government’s political and financial responsibilities to municipalities (Laws 2/97, 7-10/97, and 11/97).2 An elected Municipal Council (composed of a Mayor, a Municipal Councilor, and 12 Municipal Directorates) and Municipal Assembly are the main governing bodies of Maputo.

  • Portuguese Culture and Language in Maputo. Homage to Mozambican Brothers
    Fragments of Memory: Portuguese Culture and Language in Maputo. Homage to Mozambican Brothers Fragmentos da memória: cultura e língua portuguesa em Maputo, homenagem aos irmãos moçambicanos Nilce da SILVA Aparecida do Carmo Frigeri BERCHIOR ABSTRACT This article reveals the importance of keeping alive and recognizing the memories of learning the Portuguese language by a group of Mozambicans who are residents of the city of Maputo and whose maternal language is not Portuguese, in the sense of reflecting on the relationship between language and the construction of citizenship. From data collection of oral records and from how we treated the data; we achieved results that show the ethnic-cultural diversity inside Mozambique’s capital. Moreover, the set of interviews also indicated that familial relations and the relations established inside schools are strong for the insertion of these citizens into the Lusophone world, after Mozambique’s independence from Portugal in 1975. Moreover, the article intends to assist in the implementation of Law 11.645/08 concerning the study of Afro-Brazilian culture and history in classrooms. Index terms: Law 11.645/08, learning of the Portuguese language, Maputo, the rescue of memories. RESUMO Este artigo revela a importância de não deixar esquecida e desconhecida lembranças do aprendizado da Língua Portuguesa de um grupo de moçambicanos, habitantes da cidade de Maputo, que não teve esta língua como língua materna, no sentido da reflexão acerca da relação entre língua e construção da cidadania. Pelo viés da coleta de dado de registro oral e a partir do tratamento dado ao material, obtivemos resultados que nos mostraram a diversidade étnico-cultural na capital moçambicana.

Additional prospects are identified to the north and east (offshore). • Several companies are exploring for oil and gas in the Beira region. • Concession awards this year in Rovuma basin. • Potential for more hydrocarbons discoveries, including crude oil. INP_ Instituto Nacional de Petróleos INP_ Instituto Nacional de Petróleos Why were natural gas resources in Mozambique locked up for decades? • In the 1960-ies companies only drilled for crude oil in remote regions like Mozambique. • Natural gas discoveries were not perceived as having any commercial potential; because: • No markets for natural gas existed (except limited coal gas distribution in a few cities in South Africa). • From 1981-96 the Mozambican Government evaluated many gas-consuming industrial possibilities (LNG, fertiliser, iron reduction, power generation). • The Maputo Iron and Steel Project was economically feasible until the steel market crack in 1997. • Then in 1998 Sasol proposed to pipeline Temane and Pande gas to their petrochemical plants in South Africa.

    Project to improve the institutional capacities of local authorities in Brazil and Mozambique as actors of decentralised cooperation guarulhos porto alegre Canoas maringá dondo VITÓRIA belo horizonte lichinga maputo inhambane XAI XAI nampula manhiça MATOLA United Cities and Local Governments and our members are committed to decentralised coo- peration, and have a long history of supporting solidarity and learning among local and regio- nal governments around the world. Members of UCLG are present in all world regions, organi- sed into seven Regional Sections, one Metropo- litan Section and one Forum of Regions. With over 170 associations of local governments as our members, UCLG represents more than 240,000 cities, towns, and local and regional governments. Through the City Future project initiated in 2007 with the support of the Mi- nistry of Norway and Cities Alliance, UCLG re- newed opportunities to develop a South-South and triangular peer-to-peer exchange that has become stronger throughout the years. This project has had a particular impact on coope- ration between Brazilian and Mozambican cities. UCLG, the National Association of Local Authori- ties of Mozambique (ANAMM) and the National Front of Mayors of Brazil (FNP) have developed various initiatives through political coordina- tion between municipalities, and by identifying the significant needs of the cooperation. Project coordination agreements were signed within the aforementioned organisations and logistical sup- port and a technical interface between the cities were provided by our project partner Architects without Borders – Catalonia (ASF-Cat) and our academic partner UNESCO Chair’s Intermediary Cities Network (CIMES) at the University of Llei- da.

Can we trust this number? To check, we estimate the impact of these FDI projects on jobs using Mozambique’s Household Surveys (Inquérito sobre orçamento familiar, 2002 - 2008/09 - 2014/15) Isn’t it obvious that FDI creates jobs? No positive effects of FDI on employment in Southern and Central and Eastern European regions (Marelli et al., 2014) FDI in manufacturing has only weak effects on employment across US states (Axarloglou and Pournarakis, 2007) Foreign supermarkets (mostly Wal-Mart) have no effect on city-level employment in Mexico (Atkin et al., 2015) So, has the boom in FDI projects across Mozambique increased employment or not?
