The BIOFUND Virtual Library is an online archive of information on Mozambique’s biodiversity, organized along the lines suggested by the Convention on Biodiversity’s Clearing House Mechanism. The Virtual Library will strive to make available all the documents, studies, reports, articles, educational and communications materials, maps and digital files that have been produced, to serve as a repository of our collective institutional memory as a conservation community. The usefulness of the Virtual Library will improve the more we share amongst ourselves. If you have any materials that are not currently part of the Virtual Library, please click on "Add Document" and become a contributor.

Mozambique – Political Dynamics, Regulatory Outlook and Infrastructure Risks
Besseling, R.
2013
N/A
Hugely promising natural gas exploration success rates off Mozambique have generated expectations of escalating investment in the country in the coming years. Robert Besseling examines the most significant political challenges to the development of the natural gas sector in Mozambique. Political in-fighting and distractions are likely to stall the formulation of a legislative framework for the sector, motivate the renegotiation of existing contracts and delay the necessary development of LNG infrastructure. In order to mitigate risks, investing companies will become more dependent on local partnerships with the political elite.

Gender and Poverty in Mozambique
CMI BRIEF
2010
N/A
Gender equality and women’s empowerment are high on the government and donor agendas in Sub-Saharan Africa, but have largely failed to have an impact. Rather than ‘mainstreaming’ gender, more attention to the variations in the position of women is necessary. In a series of three studies on gender policies and the feminisation of poverty in Mozambique, significant differences were found between the north and the south as well as between rural and urban areas. Such variations are essential to understand in order to design relevant policies and interventions for improving the conditions for women in the country.

Gas for development or just for money?
Hanlon, J. & Nuvunga, A.

N/A
Centro de Integridade Pública
Mozambique’s gas can be used to promote industrialisation and rural development, but only if key choices are made now. Current priorities are for export based mega-projects promising high revenues, but like past mega-projects doing little to create jobs or reduce poverty. Mega-projects costing tens of billions of dollars are essential, but the Council of Ministers can instruct that negotiations give a higher priority to using the gas to create a domestic industry and jobs, even if it reduces short term income.

An Economic Analysis of Natural Resources Sustainability in Mozambique Fisheries
Mozambican fisheries are characterized by vast varieties of environmental conditions, catch technologies, ownerships and market structures. Fisheries take place in freshwater lakes, dams and rivers, brackish water, mangrove forests and other coastal areas, or in open ocean waters on the continental shelf and pelagically. The diversity of habitats include coral reefs and rocky bottom in the narrow shelf zones, the soft bottom of the Sofala Bank and the deeper areas on the continental slope.

Cabo Delgado
Anadarko Moçambique Área 1, Lda, along with partner Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos, EP, has proposed to undertake shallow water seismic surveys in Rovuma Offshore Area 1, offshore of theMozambique coast. This block is located approximately 100 km north of Pemba and extends to the national border with Tanzania. The survey would take place during the second and third quarters of 2009.For the survey under consideration in this report, the project area is bounded to the west by the shoreline and to the east by a line joining the most easterly points of the 200 m depth contour.

Adopted in May 1992 by 156 countries, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) aims to promote the conservation of biological diversity; sustainable use of its components and equitable sharing in the use of genetic resources. Mozambique ratified the CBD in August 1994, through Resolution 2/94 of 24 August. Under Article 6 of the CBD, Parties are encouraged to develop a National Strategy and Action Plan for the Conservation of Biodiversity (NBSAP), a document that works as the global and national framework for implementing the Convention's objectives, the promotion of conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.

Shallow Water Farming of Marine Organisms, in Particular Bivalves, in Quirimbas National Park, Mozambique

A LITERATURE STUDY PREPARED FOR WWF DENMARK
Shellfish collected from local intertidal and shallow subtidal areas in the coastal zone form an important dietary component in many developing countries, especially in the tropics. Increased population pressure, whether from increased birth rates or migration, usually leads to increased pressure on such open access resources. This report summarizes some of the available literature, especially from eastern Africa and from other developing countries in the tropics.

Biofuels, land access and rural livelihoods in Mozambique

This report documents how the spread of biofuels is affecting land access for poorer groups in Mozambique, and what actions are being taken, successfully and unsuccessfully, to secure land access for poorer groups. To the extent possible given the recent nature of the biofuels boom in Mozambique, the report also assesses the early impacts of a few biofuels projects. The report is based on a review of existing documentation, on multi-stakeholder interviews and on case studies of three biofuels projects. The aim is to feed into debates on biofuels both nationally and internationally.

The size and structure of a photographically identified population of reef manta ray, Manta alfredi, were examined at aggregation sites over a four-year period in southern Mozambique. The use and standardisation of photo-ID techniques was examined as a minimally-intrusive means to study this species. Using these techniques, we report on the size, structure and seasonality of this population of M. alfredi. In total, 449 individuals were identified during this time period, 40.5% of which were re-sighted on at least one occasion. The longest period between re-sighting events was 1,252 days.

This paper investigates the likely impact on Mozambique’s socio-economic development of discoveries of natural gas deposits, and of industrial development in the natural gas sector. It analyses the likely uses of the ‘gas boom’ by government in contributing to the improvement of the economic situation of Mozambicans. The discussion is set within the context of Mozambique’s political and economic development since gaining independence in 1975.
