Appendix 4. Main policies and legislation after 1990

Policies

POLICY

DESCRIPTION (KEY ASPECTS)

Land Policy
(Resolution 10/95 of 17th October, 1995)

(i) ensure the populations and investors’ access to land;

(ii) ensure women’s access to and use of land;

(iii) enforce an ecologically-sustainable use of the resources;

(iv) promote national and foreign private investment without prejudicing the resident populations, and ensuring benefits to the state; and

(v) ensure active participation by nationals as partners in private enterprises.

Forestry and Wildlife Policy
Resolution 10/97 of 7th April)[26]

The main objective of this policy is the conservation, utilization and development of forestry and wildlife resources for social, ecological and economic benefit of present and future generations of the Mozambican people. Other key aspects include:

i) Establishment of an economic value for Mozambique;

ii) rural development through involvement of the communities in the management of profits obtained from forestry and wildlife exploration;

iii) ecologically sustainable use of resources;

iv) strengthening and organisation of the institutional capacity within the processes of decentralization and community handling of natural resources.

Agrarian Policy
(1995)

It defends the sustainable use of natural resources for the development of agriculture

Water Policy
(Council of Ministers Resolution 7/95 of 8th August)[27]

It postulates the rational and economical use of water resources, with involvement of local communities.

Legislation

LAW (ACT)

DESCRIPTION (KEY ASPECTS)

Land Law
(Law 19/97 of 1st October)[28].

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
(Law 20/97 of 1st October 1997)[29].

(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
(Law 10/99 of 7th July 1999)[30]

(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
(Law 3/1990)

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.
(Law 16/91 of 3 August 1991)[31]

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.
