This exercise is part of the EU effort to strengthen Coordination & Harmonization in the follow up of the EU pilot Initiative on Coordination & Harmonization and a consequence of donor reporting requirements towards the Government of Mozambique, and in special the Departamento de Cooperação Internacional (DCI) and Departamento Nacional de Plano e Orçamento (DNPO) at the Ministry of Plan and Development (MPD). The data provided is based on the data provided by the Italian Cooperation in Mozambique. Completeness and exactness can only be guaranteed up to the 4th Quarter 2005 disbursement data. Forecast data is subject to own judgment of those reporting, and therefore might not always represent reality. The only sector codification allowed is the unique DAC/CRS sector classification which provides one five digit sector code per project, which should be the same in Headquarters and Field Offices. This will allow data from DbIS from different Donors to be compared nationally and internationally while at the same time providing a standard basis for analysis.

The Mozambique Landmine Impact Survey (MLIS) visited 9 of 10 Districts in Manica. Cidade de Chimoio was not visited, as it is considered by Mozambican authorities not to be landmine-affected. Of the 121 villages visited, 60 identified themselves as landmine-affected, reporting 110 Suspected Mined Areas (SMAs). Twenty-one villages were inaccessible, and three villages could not be found or were unknown to local people. Figure 1 provides an overview of the survey process: village selection; data collection; and data-entry into the Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA) database, out of which is generated the Mine Impact Score (Appendix I).

  • University of Kwazulu-Natal
    UNIVERSITY OF KWAZULU-NATAL A study on the creative processes of ngalanga traditional music and dance from Mozambique: Expressions of the Mozambican Chopi immigrant community of Clermont Township in Durban. A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts-Applied Ethnomusicology College of Humanities, School of Arts University of KwaZulu-Natal By José Alberto Daniel Chemane (208521387) December, 2018 Supervisor: Dr. Patricia Achieng Opondo i Abstract This study is an ethnographic enquiry on the creative processes engaged in ngalanga by a migrant community of Mozambicans in Clermont Township in Durban. It discusses how creative actions are conceived and applied to indigenous dance traditions of a migrant community and how these traditions find expressions within the context of their new environment. Ngalanga is one of the indigenous music traditions that is found among the Chopi from Mozambique, and whose studies within ethnomusicological circles is scanty. Literature available on Chopi musical tradition largely focuses on the timbila tradition although other musical traditions such as ngalanga find equal space within the performance repertoire of the Chopi. This research draws on the theoretical formulations as grounded in interpretative innovation, socio-musical practice and system model of creativity to understand how creative processes are engaged within the creation and performances of ngalanga and how these serve as a tool to negotiate space for self-expression, recognition, cultural dialogue and a means of sustenance within this migrant community. Data for the study was collected through interviews and participant observations of musical activities of the Mozambican migrant community in Clermont Township in Durban that performs ngalanga in addition to available literature on the music and dance traditions of the Chopi.

  • Tourism and Human Development in Mozambique: an Analysis for Inhambane Province
    WP 100 / 2012 TOURISM AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN MOZAMBIQUE: AN ANALYSIS FOR INHAMBANE PROVINCE Carlos P. Barros Vera Barros Peter U.C. Dieke Abstract The importance of tourism for economic and social development in the African continent – in the second half of the 20th century – is well documented in tourism research with a conclusion that only African countries that have adopted a tourism strategy are converging towards the US real product per capita. This paper analyses the role of tourism in promoting human development in sub-Saharan Africa using data from a questionnaire undertaken in Inhambane province, Mozambique in 2010, a region that adopted a tourism strategy. A logistic regression for randomized response data model is used, taking into account the answers bias in the data. Policy implications of the research findings are discussed. Keywords Tourism, sub-Sahara-Africa, logistic regression for randomized response data. com o apoio WP 100 / 2012 WORKING PAPER / DOCUMENTOS DE TRABALHO CEsA neither confirms nor rules out any opinion stated by the authors in the documents it edits. CEsA is one of the Centers of Study of the Higher Institute for Economy and Management (ISEG – Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão) of the Lisbon Technical University, having been created in 1982. Consisting of about twenty researchers, all teachers at ISEG, CeSA is certainly one of the largest, if not actually the largest Center of Study in Portugal which is specialized in issues of the economic and social development. Among its members, most of them PhDs, one finds economists (the most represented field of study), sociologists and graduates in law.

For this reason, an international and interdisciplinary team interpreted the Inhambane Province’s geology, hydrographic and tectonic maps and open-access satellite imagery and derived products (for morphometric analysis and landscape interpretation). Inhambane province is in a coastal plain composed of a Pleistocene dune system, within which many lakes can be found. Additionally, a comprehensive review of the existing research for the region was conducted, to choose the most suitable lakes from which to collect sediment records for paleoenvironmental reconstructions.
