Water Policy |

Legislation |
|
LAW (ACT) |
DESCRIPTION (KEY ASPECTS) |
Land Law |
The key aspect of the new law is its recognition of the right to land through occupation on part of rural families, based on oral testimonial. This is particularly important because it opens up opportunities for safeguarding the right to land of many Mozambicans who cultivate it. This law compels for: (i) recognition of the right to land use and/or utilisation according to customary norms and practices; and (ii) compulsory consultation to the communities when demarcating and titling the right to use and/or utilise land. |
Environmental Law |
(i) rational utilisation and management of environmental components; (ii) recognition and valorisation of traditions and community knowledge; (iii) participation of the citizens in the environmental management programme; (iv) international co-operation in view of finding solutions to environmental problems. |
Forestry and Wildlife Law |
(i) integration of local communities interests, of the private sector and civil society; (ii) ecologically sustainable use of resources; (iii) establishment of mechanisms for private appropriation; and (iv) recognition of customary rights |
Fishery Law |
This law emphasises the development of small scale fishing and envisages establishing conservation measures for fishing resources, and this includes determination of resting periods, areas of forbidden or limited access, maximum quantities of exploration, prohibition or regulation of fishing as far as internationally protected species are concerned and protection of rare and endemic species. |
Water Law. |
The law postulates that all traditionally established common uses must be recognised and recorded, and that there must not be any private utilisation of water in prejudice of the populations right to potable water. It also adds that the holders of rights and of private utilisation will have to allow access of the neighbouring population to potable water. The law also defends the participation of the populations in the main decisions relating to the policy on water management. As one of its objectives, the Law states that the National Policy on Water must be geared towards the continuous and sufficient provision of potable water to the populations so that they meet their domestic and hygienic needs. |
