Land Rigths and Livelihood in Tete Province

General

This action aims to follow up and follow on the previous UE co-funded Project (MOZ286) in 3 districts of Tete Province, namely: Cassoca, Nhatsanga and Chissua. With this Project our partner UPCT (Uniao Provincial dos Camponeses de Tete) is going to strengthen a common understanding of existing legal frameworks and policies amongst companies, communities and other stakeholders in reference to land rights during mining exploration or expropriation. On one hand it will strengthen the capacities of local CSOs, and communities with regard to land rights on the other it will improve legal practices of mining companies also through a close collaboration of duty bearers. Moreover the Project will respond to some urgent needs - mainly linked to food security and agricultural productivity - of the communities affected by mining exploration.
