Sustainable Development in Mozambique - Softcover
How can sustainable development be achieved in Mozambique, a country that has been overwhelmed by demobilization, destruction and devastation? This book brings together the evidence of Mozambicans themselves as to what they have achieved so far and what they have yet to do.
The contributors are civil servants, ministers and leaders of national NGOs as well as academics. They know what it is to be challenged daily by the problems of trying to improve the welfare of the citizens of one of the world's poorest countries.
The first democratic elections in 1994 proved to be an act of national reconciliation as remarkable as those in the same year in neighboring South Africa. There were good harvests and growth revived in the economy. Foreign investment is being encouraged in minerals and energy, transport and tourism. Structural adjustment has had mixed elects. Debt relief could bring changes.
The book provides a case study of how to apply the principles of sustainable development within the context of Southern Africa methodologies such as rapid appraisal and environmental impact analysis.

Review:
Barry Munslow is professor of Politics in the Faculty of Social and Environmental Studies at the University of Liverpool and is an adviser on sustainable development to the Government of Mozambique.
'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
