REVIEW OF NATIONAL LAWS AND POLICIES THAT SUPPORT OR UNDERMINE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES MOZAMBIQUE
This report by Natural Justice provides a comprehensive review of Mozambique's legal and policy frameworks regarding the rights of local communities and indigenous peoples to land and natural resources. It examines the tension between progressive laws, such as the 1997 Land Law, and a trend toward 're-concentration' of power by the State to facilitate large-scale extractive and agricultural investments. The document highlights systemic failures in community consultation, the marginalization of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM), and the impact of resettlement projects in the mining sector.
