Governo da República de Moçambique

Moçambique é um país da costa oriental da África Austral que tem como limites: a norte, a Tanzânia; a noroeste, o Malawi e a Zâmbia; a oeste, o Zimbábwe, a África do Sul e a Suazilândia; a sul, a África do Sul; a leste, a secção do Oceano Índico designada por Canal de Moçambique.


No Canal de Moçambique, os vizinhos são Madagáscar e as Comores (incluindo a possessão francesa de Mayotte). No Oceano Índico, para leste da grande ilha de Madagáscar, situam-se as dependências de Reunião, Juan de Nova e Ilha Europa. No Canal de Moçambique, sensivelmente a meia distância entre o continente e Madagáscar, o atol de Bassas da Índia, igualmente possessão francesa.


A capital de Moçambique é Maputo ( foi chamada por Lourenço Marques durante a dominação portuguesa).


A metade norte (a norte do rio Zambeze) é um grande planalto, com uma pequena planície costeira bordejada de recifes de coral, limitando no interior com maciços montanhosos pertencentes ao sistema do Grande Vale do Rift. A metade sul é caracterizada por uma larga planície costeira de aluvião, coberta por savanas e cortada pelos vales de vários rios, o mais importante dos quais é o rio Limpopo.

Governo de Portugal

Following its heyday as a global maritime power during the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal lost much of its wealth and status with the destruction of Lisbon in a 1755 earthquake, occupation during the Napoleonic Wars, and the independence of Brazil, its wealthiest colony, in 1822. A 1910 revolution deposed the monarchy; for most of the next six decades, repressive governments ran the country. In 1974, a left-wing military coup installed broad democratic reforms. The following year, Portugal granted independence to all of its African colonies. Portugal is a founding member of NATO and entered the EC (now the EU) in 1986.


Portugal is a semi-presidential republic.

Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies

The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies is an institution of research and higher education dedicated to the study of world affairs, with a particular emphasis on the cross-cutting fields of international relations and development issues.


Through our core activities, we aim to promote international cooperation and make a contribution to the progress of developing societies. More broadly, we endeavour to develop creative thinking on the major challenges of our time, foster global responsibility and advance respect for diversity.


We are a cosmopolitan community located in the heart of Geneva, an international city and a centre of global governance. By intensely engaging with international organisations, NGO’s, governments and multinational companies, we participate in global discussions and prepare future policy-makers to lead tomorrow’s world.

GRAIN

GRAIN is a small international non-profit organisation that works to support small farmers and social movements in their struggles for community-controlled and biodiversity-based food systems. Our support takes the form of independent research and analysis, networking at local, regional and international levels, and fostering new forms of cooperation and alliance-building. Most of our work is oriented towards, and carried out in, Africa, Asia and Latin America.


GRAIN’s work goes back to the early 1980s, when a number of activists around the world started drawing attention to the dramatic loss of genetic diversity on our farms — the very cornerstone of the world’s food supply.


We began doing research, advocacy and lobbying work under the auspices of a coalition of mostly European development organisations. That work soon expanded into a larger programme and network that needed its own footing. In 1990, Genetic Resources Action International, or GRAIN for short, was legally established as an independent non-profit foundation with its headquarters in Barcelona, Spain.


By the mid-1990s, GRAIN reached an important turning point. We realised that we needed to connect more with the real alternatives that were being developed on the ground, in the South. Around the world, and at local level, many groups had begun rescuing local seeds and traditional knowledge and building and defending sustainable biodiversity-based food systems under the control of local communities, while turning their backs on the laboratory developed ‘solutions’ that had only got farmers into deeper trouble. In a radical organisational shift, GRAIN embarked on a decentralisation process that brought us into closer contact with realities on the ground in the South, and into direct collaboration with partners working at that level. At the same time, we brought a number of those partners into our governing body and started regionalising our staff pool.


By the turn of the century, GRAIN had transformed itself from a mostly Europe-based information and lobbying group into a dynamic and truly international collective — functioning as a coherent organisation — that was linking and connecting with local realities in the South as well as developments at the global level. In that process, GRAIN’s agenda shifted away from lobbying and advocacy much more towards directly supporting and collaborating with social movements, while retaining our key strength in independent research and analysis.


GRAIN is an organisation that represents no one but itself. However, it is through collaboration and partnerships that we link in with local and national realities and play a meaningful role in our information, research, advocacy and networking activities, be it in the regions or at international level. In fact, we work with many groups in different parts of the world to produce and disseminate collaborative publications and analyses, and engage in other collaborative projects.


Between April and June 2012, GRAIN underwent its latest external evaluation. This evaluation focused on GRAIN’s work on land grabbing, over the period 2008-2011. The executive summary and recommendations are available here. (A copy of the full report can be made available on request.)

Grain de sel

Grain de sel est la revue semestrielle d’Inter-réseaux Développement rural. Chaque numéro est consacré à une thématique précise et vise à faire participer aux débats et réflexions autour de ce thème une diversité d’acteurs et de points de vue. Elle est diffusée à plus de 5000 exemplaires en version papier et envoyée par mail à plus de 10 000 abonnés.

L’objectif d’Inter-réseaux est de faciliter l’émergence, la mise en place et la diffusion d’actions innovantes et pertinentes pour un développement rural basé sur une agriculture durable et préservant  les exploitations familiales. Inter-réseaux et ses membres partagent, en effet, une même conviction, celle du rôle essentiel des agricultures familiales dans la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle, le développement territorial et la préservation de l’environnement. Son rôle est de mieux faire connaître les réalités des acteurs et actrices du monde rural, particulièrement en Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre mais aussi de mieux comprendre les implications pour les populations rurales d’Afrique des changements globaux (changement climatique, évolutions démographiques, enjeux géopolitiques, etc.)

Green Scenery

 

Green Scenery is concerned that 60% of the total area in one of the districts in Sierra Leone could soon be converted for large-scale industrial oil palm plantations.

Greenpeace

Greenpeace is a global network of independent national and regional Greenpeace organisations (NROs) and Greenpeace International as a coordinating organisation.


The NROs are responsible for implementing and carrying out campaigns that fall under the long-term global campaign programme. Each NRO consists of one or more separate legal entities, and has its own board in a supervisory role. These boards are usually elected by a voting membership of volunteers and activists, who are firmly rooted within the local environmental communities. NROs are licensed by Greenpeace International to use the Greenpeace name within their territories.

Greenpeace Brasil

O Greenpeace chegou ao Brasil no mesmo ano em que o país abrigou a primeira e mais importante conferência ambiental da História, a Eco-92.


O protesto que marca a fundação da organização por aqui foi uma ação contra a usina nuclear de Angra. Chegando por mar, ao bordo do navio Rainbow Warrior, os ativistas fixaram 800 cruzes no pátio da usina, simbolizando o número de mortos no acidente de Chernobyl.


A primeira grande vitória no Brasil se deu um ano após a inauguração do escritório, com a proibição da importação de lixo tóxico. Ainda na década de 1990, tiveram início as campanhas contra o uso dos gases CFC – que atacam a camada de ozônio – e de transgênicos, que levou à aprovação de uma lei para a rotulagem de alimentos com organismos geneticamente modificados.


De olho na proteção da maior floresta tropical do mundo, em 1992 começou a investigação sobre a exploração ilegal e predatória de madeira na Amazônia.


Para a redução das emissões de gases do efeito estufa, o Greenpeace trabalha em um cenário de [R]evolução Energética, para pressionar o governo a incentivar o setor de energia eólica, solar e biomassa.


O Greenpeace ajudou o Brasil a levar mais a sério o debate ambiental, enquanto a realidade do país mostrou à organização que os problemas ambientais e os sociais caminham juntos.


Os desafios da organização cresceram com o país. O ritmo do desmatamento na Amazônia vem caindo, mas ainda é alarmante, sem que os problemas tenham sido resolvidos. Por outro lado, o Brasil, que tinha tudo para aproveitar seus recursos naturais para se tornar uma potência energética de matriz quase 100% limpa, ainda quer investir em energias sujas e perigosas como petróleo e nuclear – e por isso a organização faz campanha pelo incentivo e pelo investimento em fontes renováveis de energia, como eólica, solar e biomassa.

Greenpeace France

GF

Greenpeace est une organisation internationale. Elle est présente sur tous les continents et tous les océans grâce à ses 28 bureaux nationaux et régionaux et ses trois bateaux. Elle compte près de trois millions d'adhérents à travers le monde qui la soutiennent et agissent avec elle.


Greenpeace est une organisation indépendante des Etats, des pouvoirs politiques et économiques. Greenpeace n'est soutenu par aucun parti et n'en soutient aucun. Cependant, Greenpeace intervient dans le débat politique et a des relations avec les représentants du monde politique. Mais ces contacts sont limités par des règles d'éthique propres à l'organisation.


L'indépendance de Greenpeace est aussi financière. Nous refusons toute contribution provenant d'entreprises et toute subvention publique. Cette indépendance structurelle est le gage de notre liberté de parole et d'action, en tous lieux et en toutes circonstances.


Greenpeace est une organisation non-violente. De sa première action à aujourd'hui, Greenpeace a toujours été guidée par la même volonté de témoigner par l'action directe et non-violente. En effet, nous sommes convaincus que les individus peuvent empêcher pacifiquement que des atteintes soient portées à l'environnement, même quand elles sont le fait des plus puissants intérêts.


Greenpeace a pour but de dénoncer les atteintes à l'environnement et d'apporter des solutions qui contribuent à la protection de l'environnement et à la promotion de la paix. La mission essentielle de Greenpeace est de travailler par rapport à des enjeux globaux (climat, énergie, biodiversité, etc.) qui peuvent avoir un impact direct ou indirect pour chaque habitant de notre planète.


Nous préférons nous concentrer en profondeur sur ces sujets et essayer d'obtenir des avancées importantes pour l'environnement à une échelle mondiale plutôt que se diversifier sans résultats réels sur la totalité des problèmes environnementaux.

Groningen Centre for Law and Governance

The Groningen Centre for Law and Governance (GCL) is the result of an initiative by the Faculty of Law at the University of Groningen. The Centre was established in December 2008.


The Centre contributes to legal research into the relationship between public and private interests. Research focuses on the interaction between public and private law and the function of law in the regulatory state.


“Governance” can be defined as decision- and policy-making within a group of people, an institution or a system of institutions. This includes governing with or without a government and policy-making with or without politics. When speaking about “good governance”, “best governance” of an institution could be defined as the combination of a maximum of efficiency and a maximum of democracy, transparency, accountability, sustainability and respect for fundamental and human rights and for the rule of law.


The six programmes of the Groningen Faculty of Law can be regarded as the six sides of a cube with “good governance” as content. These six programmes address the development of national and supranational legal systems in the direction of good or better societal governance from six different points of view. 


The Groningen Centre for Law and Governance works in cooperation with the VU Amsterdam Centre for Law and Governance. Together these centres form the Netherlands Institute for Law and Governance (NILG).

GROWAFRICA

The Grow Africa partnership was founded jointly by the African Union (AU), the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD Agency) and the World Economic Forum in 2011. Grow Africa works to increase private sector investment in agriculture, and accelerate the execution and impact of investment commitments. The aim is to enable countries to realize the potential of the agriculture sector for economic growth and job creation, particularly among farmers, women and youth.

Grow Africa facilitates collaboration between governments, international and domestic agriculture companies, and smallholder farmers in order to lower the risk and cost of investing in agriculture, and improve the speed of return to all stakeholders. Grow Africa helps establish value chain specific multi-stakeholder partnerships at the national level and engages locally through these companies.  The broader Grow Africa network includes farmer, civil society, development, and research organizations.

Grow Africa’s work is fully anchored within the national and continental policy architecture of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), which to improve food and nutrition security, and increase incomes in Africa’s largely farming-based economies. CAADP, which is a NEPAD Agency programme, aims to achieve this by raising agricultural productivity and increasing public and private investment in agriculture.

Grow Africa is headquartered at the NEPAD Agency offices in Johannesburg and operates under the leadership of the NEPAD Agency Chief Executive Officer who reports into a Steering Committee comprised of members of Grow Africa’s core stakeholder groups. A secretariat team based in Johannesburg provides services across Grow Africa’s member countries.

What we do

Grow Africa is a convener and catalyst. We bring together the stakeholders necessary to make private sector investment effective. We incubate and support platforms and business models that enable those stakeholders to work together. We also play an important role in disseminating knowledge and best practice on making responsible agricultural investments work on the ground.

We do not have an implementation or project management role, but work with technical partners who implement the projects we initiate or support. Nor do we provide funding for projects – as a convener, we help partners to connect and develop collaborations, and support the development of innovative multi-stakeholder funding vehicles.

Grow Africa intends to support the 44 African countries that have signed the CAADP Compact, however, work started in the 12 countries that were interested at an early stage in taking advantage of Grow Africa’s support to mobilize private sector investment in alignment with their CAADP Plans.
