Brazil Mozambique 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. The project was financed by the European Union, the Norwegian Government, Cities Alliance and the City of Barcelona.

Also with cooperation in mind, Brazil turned its sights to forming a comprehen- sive agenda of technical, scientific and technological cooperation with 37 African countries. On the global level, President Lula’s government prioritised multilateralism, the development of a more assertive trade policy and a diverse range of South-South partnerships with large semi-periphery countries (South Africa, China and India). According to data from the Brazilian Institute of Applied Economic Re- search (IPEA), from 2005 to 2009 the Brazilian government invested R$3.2 billion (0.02% of the country’s GDP) in international cooperation projects for the development of humanitarian, scientific-technological, economic, educational and technical aid.

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.

  • A Political Economy Analysis of the Nacala and Beira Corridors
    ecdpm’s Making policies work DISCUSSION PAPER No. 277 A political economy analysis of the Nacala and Beira corridors By Bruce Byiers, Poorva Karkare and Luckystar Miyandazi July 2020 While trade and transport costs in Africa are high, those faced in Malawi are higher than in the wider region. International partners are keen to invest in improving trade and transportation, with a view to promoting socio-economic development in the region, but trade and transport are highly political in both Malawi and Mozambique. This study maps out the different factors and actors that shape current use of the Nacala and Beira corridors connecting Malawi to the Mozambican coast. High-level political relations have fluctuated through time, and though cordial, do not provide a solid basis for improving efficiency along the Nacala rail corridor, with domestic priorities on both sides dominating cross-border cooperation. Thus far, Beira has emerged in Mozambique as the more efficient port serving Malawi and the wider region where state-business relations have aligned with political objectives. Nacala has been made efficient for coal exports but coordination for other trade is lacking, with political interests more geared towards a competition for control of rents. Mozambican road transporters have also the upper hand over Malawian transport, though the market is highly segmented for imports and exports and different goods. External support to improve efficiency will need to take account of the vested state-business interests round the ports and corridors, particularly in Mozambique, and rekindle multi-actor cross-border coordination mechanisms, ideally including different government bodies, private service providers as well as businesses engaged in exports/imports, and learning from past failures to coordinate better.
