Synopsis

Dominated until recently by destruction rather than development, Mozambique in the late-1990s is working towards building sustainable development. The contributions and research here are the work of government ministers, NGOs and academics pursuing this end. Among the topics covered are: governance and decentralization; creating industrial development projects; harmonizing formal and customary law in the management of natural resources; improving the management of the coastal zone; environmental education; managing water resources; and the impact of gold mining.

Review:

'The book will best serve as a reference volume for those interested either in the thinking on sustainable development in Mozambique or in some of the case-studies. In itself it is less a volume on the actual situation regarding development in Mozambique than it is a book on how Mozambicans envisage the mechanisms by which they will be able to implement a programme of sustainable development and environmental management in years to come.' - Patrick Chabal in International Affairs
