  • Mozambique Country Profile
    MOZAMBIQUE COUNTRY PROFILE Following a long civil war, Mozambique has transitioned to peace, stability, and economic growth. It now provides an essential link between landlocked neighbors and the global marketplace. Mozambique's ties to South Africa’s industrial heartland underscore the fact that the country’s economic, political, and social progress is vital to the interests of the region. Mozambique's recent economic downturn has exacerbated the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, malaria and high infant mortality, and resulted in a distressingly low life expectancy of just 50 years. USAID’s programs in economic growth, health and education address these challenges and open new opportunities. OUR WORK AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY USAID / Agriculture continues to be the mainstay of the economy, but has declined to less than a quarter of GDP and accounts for more than 70% of employment of the economically active population. USAID is working to improve the overall performance of the agricultural sector, with the goal of increasing productivity, improving resilience, and generating higher incomes for farmers and their families to reduce hunger, poverty, and under-nutrition. ALEX LARRIEUX DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS AND GOVERNANCE Good governance has emerged as one of Mozambique's greatest challenges. The lack of transparency and effective accountability is central to the ongoing fiscal crisis, and has contributed to the reemergence of armed conflict, most recently in the north of Cabo Delgado Province. USAID works to strengthen and promote democracy and good governance in Mozambique through activities that advance local media independence and sustainability, strengthen the rule of law, promote free and fair elections, and empower civil society.

  • Slavery and the Slave Trade in the Indian Ocean
    2 Slavery and the Slave Trade in the Indian Ocean Vijayalakshmi Teelock and Abdul Sheriff The specificities of the Indian Ocean slave trade and slavery have been highlighted in the numerous works of historians of the Indian Ocean such as Ned Alpers, Abdul Sheriff, Richard Allen and Hubert Gerbeau, and are being recognised even by scholars of the Atlantic region. Within the Indian Ocean, however, the specificities of individual countries need to be highlighted and contrasted with each other. Some Indian Ocean countries, such as Zanzibar and Madagascar, were both importers and exporters of slaves, while others without indigenous populations, like Mauritius and Reunion, were solely importers of slave labour. Before embarking on a comparative study of the transition of these slave societies to freedom, it is necessary to have an understanding of the historical context of the establishment of slavery and the peopling of the islands through the slave trade. This is the focus of this chapter. Mauritius: The Colonial Slave Trade and Slavery According to latest figures available from Richard Allen and Thomas Vernet, the numbers of slaves exported from the Indian Ocean by Europeans far exceed previous estimates. Table 2.1: Export of slaves from the Indian Ocean 1670-1769 1770-1810 1811-1848 Total Madagascar 35,314-37,931 46,203-53,427 43,808-51,365 125,325-142,723 Eastern Africa 10,677-11,468 99,614-115,189 75,767-88,835 186,058-215,492 India 14,755-15,739 4,994-5,327 6,469-21,066 SE Asia 3,804-4,759 3,804-4,759 Of the total estimated by Allen1 to date, the French slave trade is still by far the most substantial in the Indian Ocean.

  • Privinvest Comments on Mozambique Maritime Contracts
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 30/06/2016 PRIVINVEST COMMENTS ON MOZAMBIQUE MARITIME CONTRACTS Privinvest has noted recent inaccurate comments in the media with regards to maritime programs executed by Privinvest for entities owned by the Government of Mozambique. These programs were deemed by Mozambique as necessary to build a local industry to contribute to the economic development of the country and in order to establish sovereignty over its own waters and natural resources after years of poaching and unlicensed exploitation. At the time that the contracts were signed in 2013 and early 2014. Mozambique was being widely feted as the “Qatar of Africa”. At that point, The World Bank had raised its forecast for the African Continent, naming Mozambique as one of the fastest growing economies in the world . It was widely recognised that Mozambique had extremely limited maritime infrastructure and no means of supervising and protecting its huge offshore gas fields, vital to reach, as a first stage, its economic independence. In the fishing sector in 2013, only one registered vessel out of 130 that were licensed to fish in its offshore waters was Mozambique-owned. In 2014 a think-tank chaired by Kofi Annan had estimated that Africa lost $20bn a year on fishing and logging, with Mozambique one of the worst sufferers . Mozambique needed food security, and developing a modern and efficient fishing industry was rightly seen as critical to achieving that. The maritime programs were requested by the customer and then designed to deliver an integrated solution – to allow oversight and control of the country’s EEZ (exclusive economic zone), to set up a viable homemade, home-owned and self-sustaining commercial fishing industry and to set up a shipbuilding and ship maintenance industry.

  • Gender and Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) in the Kenya- Mozambique Region
    Helpdesk Report Gender and countering violent extremism (CVE) in the Kenya- Mozambique region Iffat Idris GSDRC, University of Birmingham 19 October 2020 Question What is the evidence on: • The diverse roles that women/girls can play in the context of violent extremism and the contributions that women/girls can make in countering violent extremism (differentiating between combatants, ex-combatants and non-combatant returnees) • Current approaches to gender and CVE • Potential entry points for programming on gender and CVE. The geographic focus is on north-east Kenya, north-east Mozambique and the Mozambique- Tanzania cross-border region. Contents 1. Summary 2. Women and violent extremism 3. Women and countering violent extremism (CVE) 4. Kenya 5. Mozambique (-Tanzania) 6. Policy guidance and recommendations 7. References The K4D helpdesk service provides brief summaries of current research, evidence, and lessons learned. Helpdesk reports are not rigorous or systematic reviews; they are intended to provide an introduction to the most important evidence related to a research question. They draw on a rapid desk- based review of published literature and consultation with subject specialists. Helpdesk reports are commissioned by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office and other Government departments, but the views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of FCDO, the UK Government, K4D or any other contributing organisation. For further information, please contact [email protected]. 1. Summary Women can play a range of very diverse roles in relation to violent extremism (VE), and can also make important contributions to efforts to counter violent extremism (CVE). Kenya, one of the countries in which Al-Shabaab is active, illustrates this diversity: women are involved in the group as wives/victims, in supporting roles such as intelligence-gathering and recruitment, and as perpetrators of violence.
