ProjectHand-In-Hand Initiative: Enhance Impact of Strategic Policy Frameworks for a Favourable Private Sector Environment to Transform Agriculture Sector - TCP/MOZ/3805 2024
Also available in:
No results found.In 2020, Mozambique had an estimated population of around 29.5 million, with two-thirds living in rural areas. The agricultural sector employed 75 percent of the population, highlighting the heavy reliance of Mozambicans on natural resource-based activities such as rainfed agriculture for their livelihoods. Fragmented, inefficient, and fragile food systems in Mozambique, compounded by susceptibility to various shocks and stressors like weather events, pandemics, and conflict, have led to an inability to adequately address the food and nutritional requirements of the expanding population, thereby negatively affecting food security, nutrition, and the overall economy. This challenge is exacerbated by the limited coping mechanisms and resilience capacity of affected communities, alongside pre-existing social and economic inequalities. The agribusiness sector's competitiveness is weakened by underlying factors, resulting in its potential being largely untapped and hindered by disorganized, informal, and inefficient value chains, inadequate farm investment, low production and productivity, and minimal value addition, necessitating support for the development of an inclusive and robust agribusiness sector. -

Book (stand-alone)Indigenous Peoples and the private sector
Case studies in Latin America
2025Also available in:
This study presents the systematization of relationships deemed successful between Indigenous Peoples and private sector organizations in Latin America. The intention of this study is to foster the incorporation of new dimensions that strengthen the impact of Indigenous Peoples in the transformation of their relationship with private entities, making them more symmetrical and transparent, for the benefit of society as a whole.Twelve experiences were selected from eight Latin American countries, corresponding to diverse productive sectors, such as metallic and non-metallic mining, food, tourism, gastronomy, energy and hydrocarbons. In these experiences, Indigenous Peoples are predominantly negotiators of agreements, but in some cases they also participate as trading partners. Furthermore, this report includes cases in which the state has various levels of participation and influence in achieving agreements or agreements.The study shows that, although mutually beneficial relationships between companies and communities are not the norm, they can be established. Even so, positive relationships usually emerge from long processes, from the development of trust on both sides and with great contribution from international agreements on the matter. Additionally, the document recommends that companies consider local Indigenous communities as partners, rather than beneficiaries, and align their mission with greater knowledge and understanding of Indigenous Peoples. States are recommended to ensure compliance with international regulations and strengthen their capacity in this regard. The recommendation for Indigenous Peoples is to include among their assets the impact and interaction with the non-Indigenous world, and finally, it is recommended that international organizations move towards the binding nature of international agreements on the matter, among other recommendations.
