▼ Depuis les années 1990, le Mozambique connaît des changements sociopolitiques importants qui se prétendent démocratiques. Ces changements ont constitué un bouleversement de l’environnement du fonctionnement de la police. Depuis lors, la police est objet des réformes dont le but de rendre son organisation et fonctionnement compatibles aux exigences du maintien de l’ordre dans ce nouveau contexte sociopolitique. Toutefois, ces réformes n’ont pas changé profondément les pratiques policières. En effet, la police continue violente malgré les réformes démocratiques qu’elle a bénéficié. Inscrit dans la sociologie d’État et de la Police, cette étude cherche à expliquer ce paradoxe. Elle soutient que la continuité des pratiques policières violentes n’est pas étranger à l’État démocratique en construction au Mozambique. Elle traduit les limites de celui-ci et la conjoncture sociopolitique que le pays traverse depuis la transition démocratique, caractérisée par l’essor de la violence sociale et politique. Le contrôle de cette violence, en plus de freiner les réformes démocratiques de la police, légitime la violence policière comme mécanisme de contrôle social et d’affirmation d’État.
From the year of 1990, Mozambique suffered profound changes which are called as being democratic. These changes constituted a change in the operating environment of the police. Since then, the police have come to be the object of reforms whose goal is to make this organization and operation compatible with the requirements of maintaining order in new socio-political context. However, these reforms did not change profoundly the police practices. Enrolled in the sociology of the State and the Police, the present study seeks to explain this paradox. He argues that the persistence of violent police practices is not contrary to democratic State under construction in Mozambique. It translates the limits of this and socio-political situation that the country has been experiencing since the democratic transition, characterized by the increase of social and political violence. The control of this violence, in addition to brake the democratic reforms of the police, justifies the repression and police violence as a mechanism of social control and of the affirmation of the State.

▼ M.Sc.
The ca. 800 km2 Tete Complex of NW Mozambique is located at the eastern end of the 830 ±30 Ma Zambezi Belt, near the transition zone into the Neoproterozoic Mozambique Belt. The Complex is located just south of the Sanangoe Shear Zone where Mesozoic and Late Palaeozoic cover rocks obscure much of the region. Country rocks immediately in contact with the Tete Complex include amphibolitic gneiss, graphite-bearing marble, calcsilicate gneiss, muscovite and biotite schist and quartzite of the Chidue Group. The Tete Complex may have been intrusive into the Chidue Group, although there is evidence inferring tectonic emplacement. Those few contact exposures that exist are equivocal. Some of the rocks within the Tete Complex have been affected by metamorphism up to amphibolite grade, although large proportions of the rocks retain pristine magmatic mineralogy and texture. The Tete Complex contains mafic, ultramafic and anorthositic rocks, dolerite dykes and minor Fe-Ti oxide-rich rocks that occur as rubble. Pyroxenite occurs as thin (<1-2 m), cumulate layers within gabbroic rocks. Most exposed anorthositic rocks occur in the Nyangoma area in the eastern part of the Tete Complex. The anorthosites and leucotroctolites are massive, coarse grained (2-3 cm), and contain plagioclase (An47-An57) megacrysts up to 10 cm in length, interstitial olivine (Fo59-Fobs) and orthopyroxene (En59- En75, mean A1203 = 1.84 wt.%) rimmed by clinopyroxene (mean = Wo 46En38Fs i6), pyrite and Fe-Ti oxides. Secondary biotite, iddingsite, epidote and green spinet are present. The stable coexistence of olivine and plagioclase limits the depth of emplacement to <7-8 kbar, or <20- 25 km; a relatively shallow level of emplacement is favored by the generally fine grain size of the gabbroic and doleritic rocks. Compositions of coexisting plagioclase and mafic silicates (orthopyroxene and olivine) are similar to those of massif-type anorthosites. Previously unmapped meta-anorthosite occurs along the western and northern margin (within the Sanangoe Shear Zone) of the Tete Complex and has been metamorphosed to amphibolite grade. The rock contains plagioclase (An38-An39), with the more Ab-rich compositions related to the formation of garnet (mean = A1m67GrotsPYI6Sp2). Metamorphic orthopyroxene (Enso-En53), clinopyroxene (mean = Wo37En38Fs25), mizzonitic scapolite (Me63), amphibole, biotite and apatite are present. High Cl contents in amphibole, scapolite and biotite (e.g., up to 4.7 wt. % in amphibole), suggest that a Cl-rich metamorphic fluid infiltrated the western margin of the Tete Complex. Olivine melagabbro from the north-central part of the Tete Complex contains plagioclase (An70-An26), olivine (Fo82-Fos4) and clinopyroxene (mean = WanEn1Fs0.2, mean A1203 = 2.56 wt. %), with primitive compositions compared to those in Nyangoma anorthositic rocks and pyroxenites. Pyroxenites are modally dominated by clinopyroxene (mean = Wo46-48En36-39Fsi3-18) with accessory interstitial plagioclases (Ano-An45) and discrete and exsolved orthopyroxenes (En 56-En75).…

▼ The wealth of information available on the Internet holds the potential to aid development in Africa. In order to be effective, such information needs to be contextualised to respond to local needs and practices. The combination of old and new media can support uptake and improve acceptance of new technologies in developing countries. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the perceived usefulness of agricultural information sought on-line and broadcast via community radio in the two Community Multimedia Centres (CMCs) of Namaacha and Murrombene, in rural Mozambique. The data was generated from focus group discussion, individual interview, document analysis, and observation involving farmers and radio presenters. The study has shown that on-line agricultural information responds to the needs of the farmers because it contributes to eliminate pests and help farmers to make decisions about their activities. The study has also shown that there is a communication gap between farmers, extension workers, and volunteer reporters working at the community radios of the two CMCs. Volunteers have no agricultural knowledge. The problem this creates manifests itself primarily when they try to translate on-line agricultural information from Portuguese into local languages. Farmers have difficulties expressing their problems. Extension workers are not available to act as experts and mediators between volunteers and farmers. A collaborative website focusing on locally relevant content was suggested as a possible improvement.

▼ Nederland ging in 1973 over tot het geven van ontwikkelingshulp aan de bevrijdingsbeweging Frelimo, de latere regeringspartij van
Mozambique. Na de onafhankelijkheid van
Mozambique in 1975 richtte Frelimo
Mozambique in als een communistische staat. Ondanks dat het Nederlandse buitenlands beleid er via het NAVO-bondgenootschap op gericht was een anticommunistische houding aan te nemen, steunde de Nederlandse regering deze jonge communistische staat met tientallen miljoenen guldens per jaar. Minister J.P. Pronk was op dat moment minister voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking en hij was verantwoordelijk voor de ontwikkelingsrelatie. Belangrijke oorzaak voor de hulp is de invloed van de solidariteitsbeweging, het Angola-Comité. Deze beweging onderhield warme banden met de top van Frelimo, maar ook binnen regeringspartij PvdA hadden ze veel contacten. Deze beweging schilderde de situatie in
Mozambique veel te rooskleurig af en deed het communisme af als een "wetenschappelijk socialisme". De beeldvorming die zij schetsten, bepaalde mede het regeringsstandpunt inzake
Mozambique en is volgens dit onderzoek één van de redenen waarom de Nederlandse regering nauwelijks aandacht schonk aan structurele mensenrechtenschendingen in
Mozambique. De communistische eenpartijstaat duldde immers geen politieke tegenstand.

▼ Post-colonial states in Africa continue to pursue nation-building and socio-economic development. This process is taking place with the sustained support of global agencies in terms of development cooperation, assistance and aid. Insofar as an endogenous development path which speaks to national priorities can be formulated and implemented by post-colonial states, their relationship with these agencies raises serious questions about such a path if the relationship entails dependence and indeed subordination of post-colonial states. This raises important questions about state autonomy under post-colonial conditions and the possibility of autonomy being compromised. In this light, the thesis examines European Union budget support to Mozambique and, in particular, the relationship between EU budget support and Mozambique state autonomy in pursuing national development. This is particularly pertinent given the massive dependence of the Mozambican state on foreign funding (notably EU funding) with specific regard to the national budget. Despite the broad claims existing in the prevailing literature that nation-state autonomy is seriously undermined in and through the international development system, the thesis argues against reductionist arguments that simply posit post-colonial states as mere instruments of global forces. This system, including European Union budget support, does indeed set the conditions of existence for post-colonial states such as Mozambique. But autonomy is necessarily relative and is subject to different forms and degrees. Ultimately, it is through empirical investigation that the specific form and degree of autonomy can be pinpointed and understood. The thesis contributes to this endeavour and suggests that the relationship between European budget support and Mozambican state autonomy is more complex and tension-riddled than the prevailing literature would seem to suggest.

▼ The study undertaken was an attempt to provide information on the effect that oceanographic features common in the Mozambique Channel have on primary production. Oligotrophic conditions dominated the Mozambique Channel at the time of sampling and the introduction of nutrients into the euphotic zone by upwelling processes were identified as cyclonic eddies. Differences in physico-chemical variables between surface and F-max across all sites proved to be stronger than the physico-chemical variables between 4 grouped oceanographic features. This was revealed by stronger variations in phytoplankton community structure and chlorophyll a concentration between surface and F-max compared to oceanographic features sampled. One of the hypotheses presented for the study was that diatoms would dominate phytoplankton communities within a cyclonic eddy. This was not the case as the coccolithophorid, Emiliania huxleyi Lohmann (Hay and Mohler 1967) dominated F-max and surface water in the cyclonic eddies and most other sites. Phytoplankton community structure did not differ significantly between the oceanographic features sampled which contradicted another one of hypotheses presented in the study. Chlorophyll a concentration in surface water of the cyclonic eddies was significantly higher than in surface waters within the anti-cyclonic eddy. F-max was not significantly different in phytoplankton biomass between these two system types. The cyclonic eddies and anti-cyclone had similar phytoplankton diversity which did not verify the hypothesis that there would be less phytoplankton species diversity within cyclonic eddies compared to the anti-cyclonic eddy. Phytoplankton community structure differed between F-max (depth at which maximum chlorophyll a is found) and the surface. This phytoplankton community difference was linked to differences in physico-chemical variables between the two depths. The diatoms Thalassionema nitzschioides, Pseudo-nitzschia sp.A, Pseudo-nitzschia sp.B, Thalassiosira sp.C, Thalassiosira sp.E, Bacteriastrum furcatum, Guinardia cylindrus, Nitzschia closterium, Hemiaulus hauckii, and Nitzschia braarudii revealed the only discernible ecological similarity amongst phytoplankton species across all sites and depths. This is important as it revealed that these species were regularly found occupying similar depths and potentially similar physico-chemical ranges in the water column which suggest these diatom species responded to a dominant source of variation. Distribution patterns of species and of ecologically defined groups support the hypothesis that diatom species and assemblages are good indicators of the changing character of an upwelling system. These statements lead to the assumption that the diatom grouping found in this study indicates areas of upwelling where water temperatures are reduced and nutrients are more readily available. One must keep in mind that ordination techniques are only descriptive and no significance is tested. The coccolithophorid D. anthos and the dinoflagellate Phalacroma spp. were…

▼ The heart of the Baixa de Maputo, the place where the city originated from and which now is both the historical centre and part of the Maputo CBD, is under threat of 1.) further deterioration (socially and physically); 2.) losing its identity to the rapid growth of large scale real estate development and 3.) the quickly expanding number of cars in Maputo. To treat these three issues simultaneously, I propose small scale “acupunctural” interventions aimed specifically at imposing functions on currently vacant sites in the heart of the Baixa. In due time, this will turn the tide of the general deterioration, which is partly due to vacant plots being inhabited by homeless, causing a dirty and generally unsafe environment. Introducing a function of “informal living” on one of the vacant plots offers a solution to both the vacancy of the plot and the dirty environment. Moreover, the large scale property development on the edges of the heart of the Baixa will force only more semi-homeless away from their makeshift homes and onto the streets. Not offering these people a suitable alternative will only further deteriorate the streetscape of the Baixa. By introducing these small scale interventions the character of the heart of the Baixa can be maintained, protecting it from further large scale property development. Encouraging people to live in the Baixa can eventually help limit the number of people having to travel into and away from the Baixa daily. The design can be summarized as followed: to provide a structure for ‘urban informal living’, adapting the informal settlement typology into a dense urban context. Based on four ‘pillars’ (uitgangspunten): 1.) an alternative for living on the streets or far outside the Baixa, offering a place to sleep, work and recreate and thus have people ‘living’ in the Baixa; 2.) to be sustainable and self-sufficient (water and waste), to limit costs and react to the currently unstable water and sewage system; 3.) the growing building typology, typical for the informal settlements on the outskirts of the centre of the city, and allowing inhabitants to start off with a very small home, and building on to it as their wealth and family increases; 4.) to be flexible in use over time, to easily adapt to a new function if first function is not successful.

▼ This study considered aspects of the vegetation of the coastal zone of southern Mozambique, an area with a rich biodiversity. The vegetation and flora were assessed in their current state including the associated anthropogenic pressures. The environmental conditions that determined the distribution of the vegetation were evaluated. A hierarchical classification, description and ecological interpretation of the vegetation and flora of the coastal zone in southern Mozambique are presented. Analysis was based on 242 sample quadrats that were distributed in a stratified manner throughout the study area. The vegetation could be grouped into six distinct types of vegetation: Dune Forest, Coastal Forest, Coastal Grassland, Coastal Miombo, Coastal Savanna and Coastal Woodland. Species diversity was high for the all the vegetation types, particularly in the woody elements. A total of 673 species in 410 genera was recorded. They represented 104 families with Fabaceae and Rubiaceae being the most common. Of these, 6.6% were endemic or near-endemic to the coastal zone of southern Mozambique with Coastal Forest being the habitat with the greatest endemism. All soils from different vegetation types had poor agricultural potential. Soil properties were the strongest defining environmental feature separating the vegetation types: e.g. pH was high in Dune Forest compared to the others. Results from Maxent modelling suggest that the distribution of endemic species is influenced by a combination of climatic and non-climatic variables. Soil type, temperature annual range and precipitation of the driest month were the most important predictor variables. Overlaying the potential distributions of the seven selected species indicated two areas of abundance of endemic species – these should be given attention for conservation. Endemic species are not well protected in southern Mozambique – their sampled and potential habitats are largely outside protected areas. Hence, additional reserves should be created to improve their protection. Most endemic and near-endemics species were found in the south, from Ponta de Ouro (Matutuine, south of Maputo Province) to Manhica district (north of the Maputo Province) forming part of the Maputaland Centre of Endemism. A second concentration of endemism was found in the Inhambane Province, specifically the Inhassoro and Vilanculos districts. This is proposed to be an Important Plants Area (IPA). Because most endemics and near-endemics are found in the Coastal Forest, their main threat is harvesting for charcoal production, although none of the endemic species are specifically targeted for charcoal production. In Inhambane they are also threatened by the tourism industry, agriculture and settlements. The impact of the habitat destruction on endemic species is expected to cause severe declines in the near future. The tourism industry and harvesting of trees for charcoal production and over-frequent fires are the main drivers of vegetation loss in this region. Shifting agriculture, harvesting for firewood and…

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research was aimed at estimating biomass stocks separated in above- and belowground tree components, and studying the topology of the shoot and root systems of Androstachys johnsonnii Prain in woodlands in Mozambique. A two-phase sampling design was used to determine above- and belowground biomass. In the first phase 3574 trees were measured in 23 randomly located circular plots (20-m radius). In the second phase, 93 trees were randomly selected as a subsample from the first phase sample for destructive measurement of biomass and stem volume, along with the variables of the first phase and for topological analysis of the shoot and root systems. Estimates of biomass stocks and quantification of the errors associated with those estimates were obtained using Phase-1 data and regression models. Additionally, biomass expansion factors (BEFs) were fitted based on the 93 trees harvested in the second phase.
The estimated total tree forest biomass was 167.05 Mg ha–1 using biomass models and 150.74 Mg ha–1 using BEFs. The percent error resulting from plot selection and biomass regression equations for whole tree biomass stock was 4.55% and 1.53%, respectively, yielding a total error of 4.80%. Among individual variables in the first sampling phase, diameter at breast height (DBH) measurement was the largest source of error. Tree-height estimates contributed substantially to the error as well. For the second sampling phase, DBH measurements were the largest source of error, followed by height measurements and stem-wood density estimates. Of the total error (total variance) of the sampling process, 90% was attributed to plot selection and 10% to the biomass model. The BEF values of tree components were unrelated or weakly related to tree size, and root-to-shoot ratio (R/S) was independent of tree size; therefore, for A. johnsonii, constant component BEF and R/S values can be applied within the interval of sampled tree sizes.
Visual analysis indicated herringbone-like branching pattern for both the root and shoot systems. However, the topological index (TI) and topological trend (TT) suggested otherwise. This discrepancy was attributed to the fact that A. johnsonii has multiple laterals per stem/taproot node, suggesting that the topological indexes (TI and TT) might yield biased conclusions regarding the branching pattern when the main axis has multiple laterals per node. Hence, a modified topological index (TIM) was developed that could be applied in the cases of multiple laterals per node while conserving the values of TI for cases with one lateral per node; the modified index was more efficient and realistic than TI. The area preserving branching was confirmed for each stem node confirming the self-similar branching. For the root system, the area-preserving branching was only confirmed for the first node; therefore, self-similarity was not confirmed.

▼ This study set out to examine transformative social learning and sustainability in the context of community-based irrigation systems in Mozambique. These irrigation systems are socio-ecological in nature. The history of irrigation systems in Mozambique can be described in two periods: pre-Independence period (mainly the colonial period) and the post-Independence period from 1975 onwards. Most recently, the Mozambique Government has introduced a policy which supports community-based irrigation system implementation and management via irrigation associations in a move to support a shift from rain-fed farming practices to irrigation-supported farming practices amongst smallholder farmers. It is this shift in the object of activity that this study focusses on. It does this by studying learning process in the constituted irrigation associations, examining whether such learning is transformative and sustainability oriented or not, and how such learning can be further expanded and supported. Learning may occur in socio-ecological systems, but whether that learning enables transformation and sustainability of irrigation systems and the constituted associations is as yet under-explored in the Mozambique context and in the context of Education for Sustainable Development in southern Africa. The aim of this research was therefore to understand transformative social learning within the development of sustainable irrigation practices in the context of irrigation associations and new agrarian policy development in Mozambique. To examine transformative social learning in sustainable irrigation system practices (including management practices), the study worked with three research goals, which also formed phases of the study’s design: GOAL 1: Examine how and what transformative social learning has (or has not) emerged in existing activity systems to date (Phase 1: Activity System Analysis). GOAL 2: Examine how transformative social learning could emerge through expansive learning processes (Phase 2: Identification of contradictions and new solution modelling through Developmental Work Research and Change Laboratories). GOAL 3: Identify what opportunities exist for ongoing transformative social learning (Phase 3: Identification of absences and ongoing dialectical transformation possibilities). The study draws on theories of Social Learning, Transformative Learning and Cultural Historical Activity Theory’s (CHAT) expansive learning and formative interventionist research framework to develop insights into the learning processes. It works especially with third generation Cultural Historical Activity Theory which provides a theory of expansive social learning and collective transformative agency formation, which I deemed most appropriate for the need to understand the transformation of farmers’ activities in a collective formation such as an irrigation association. The study involved identification and examination of interacting activity systems, contradictions or dissonances in two case studies of community-based irrigation system…

▼ In Mozambique, establishment of aquatic weeds has been enhanced through the increased enrichment of water bodies by nutrient runoffs from human and agricultural wastes that lead to an increase in nitrate and phosphate in the water. The aquatic weeds, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), red water fern ( Azolla microphylla), water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) and salvinia (Salvinia molesta) were found in most watercourses in Mozambique and are becoming aggressive in some watercourses, especially in the Umbeluzi and Incomati rivers. Farmers and people living along the rivers are aware of the negative impact of the water weeds because the large mats of weeds cause loss of shoreline and navigability along the rivers. Other commonly perceived effects of aquatic invasive plants in Mozambique rivers include: reduced navigable surface area; difficulties for fishermen, which reduces income; increased prevalence of insects and insect-borne disease, and decreased aesthetic value. The methods currently used for the control and management of the aquatic weeds are mechanical and manual control. Both methods are costly, time consuming, and only provide a short-term solution to the problem. The study found that the weevils Neochetina eichhorniae and N. bruchi were effective biological control agents in the study area but their impact is too gradual compared to the aggressive proliferation of water hyacinth. The one year lab-experiment clearly demonstrated that the water lettuce weed had a significant impact on the recruitment of macro-invertebrates to the artificial substrates, and water lettuce contributed to the reduction of oxygen in the water and consequent reduction of macro-invertebrate abundance and diversity. The biodiversity recovered at the same time in the pools containing water lettuce controlled by N. affinis and water lettuce controlled by herbicide, but richness and diversity of macro-invertebrates was higher in the water lettuce controlled by N affinis during the first sampling occasion compared to the water lettuce in pools controlled by herbicide, where macro-invertebrates increased only when DO levels recovered after water lettuce mat decay. The number of taxa recorded in this study is an indication of the significance of macro-invertebrates in an aquatic environment. This therefore emphasizes the need for more research efforts into macrophyte and macro-invertebrate associations in the aquatic system to better understand the implications of habitat modification arising from human activities. It will also enable us to be better equipped with a more appropriate ecological understanding for aquatic resources management.

▼ Marine and coastal ecosystems face widespread degradation largely because market failure hides the economic value of the goods and services provided by them. Marine protected areas (MPAs) can serve as a structure that ensures the continuing function of marine and coastal ecosystem goods and services. Yet, to be effective and sustainable, MPAs must be able to prove their economic worth and generate revenue. User-fees are a common system used to partially finance multi-use MPAs. This study applies contingent valuation as a method of economic valuation within an MPA in southern
Mozambique. The objectives of this study are to determine the willingness to pay of combined user groups and of individual user groups for use of the Ponta do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve and to investigate the potential for the reserve to increase revenues for conservation through the implementation of a user-fee for marine based activities. The payment card contingent valuation method was employed to determine willingness to pay of dolphin swim tourists, scuba divers and fishermen. Data was collected by face-to-face interviews of 120 respondents within two popular tourist locations in the PPMR. Results show that visitors within the PPMR are mainly South Africans, loyal to the area. Probit and OLS regressions were used to determine the effects of various independent variables on willingness to pay. Results from the Probit model indicate that African
residency, activity and environmental awareness were significant factors that
influenced visitors being WTP more than R20 per person per day as a user fee within the PPMR. The OLS model examined independent variables that influenced visitors being willing to pay as well as the impact of the variables on the amount visitors were willing to pay. The OLS model found income, African residency and environmental awareness to be significant factors influencing visitors being willing to pay. The mean WTP was R43.75 per person per day. Using data supplied by the PPMR, conservative estimated annual revenues based on the implementation of this fee amount would range between R1.46m – R 3.3m.

▼ One of the greatest problems Mozambique is currently facing is the increased involvement of
sectors in producing large amounts of solid waste on a daily basis. These sectors are involved in
activities that take place in homes, industry, mining, agriculture and commerce. As a result, this
problem needs to be treated efficiently by the Municipality of Maputo. Solid waste produced
each day in Maputo is not only an aesthetic problem but poses a threat to citizens' health and it
damages the environment. With the production of large amounts of waste each day, the
Municipality of Maputo is faced with an ineffective solid waste management system. This
ineffectiveness is due to a number of reasons, which include lack of resources, inadequate or no
staff training, poor management of solid waste by both the municipal and the government,
inappropriate laws to regulate solid waste collection, poor control of such laws in terms of
removal and disposal of the waste, using past colonial methods for dealing with solid waste and
poor community involvement, The problem not only affects the Municipality of Maputo but it
also affects both citizens and the environment. Ineffective solid waste management is linked to poor management, lack of resources, poor staff
training, and unskilled public officials.
The city gets dirtier as the amount of waste increases day by day, due to the fact that citizens
living in rural areas have immigrated to the city looking for work after the civil war, which took
place between 1977 and 1994. Emerging from a severely damaged war-torn economy,
Mozambique is still in the process of reconstituting many of its public institutions. Communities, local government, industry, commerce, civil society, academics and religious
organisations can no longer turn a blind eye to poor solid waste management. Instead, they need
to join to fight against poor management of solid waste.
The current situation demonstrates that too few individuals, non-profit organisations and private
companies are involved in solid waste management activities. Effective solid waste management
can only be effective if it engages all producers of waste and captures the policy strategies,
planning and challenges of sustainable development.

▼ M.Sc. (Botany)
Global efforts to protect the world’s forests from unsustainable and inequitable exploitation have been undermined in recent years by rampant illegal logging in many timber-producing countries. A prerequisite for efficient control and seizure of illegally harvested forest product is a rapid, accurate and tamper proof method of species identification. DNA barcoding is one such a tool, relatively simple to apply. It is acknowledged to bring about accuracy and efficiency in species identification. In this study a DNA barcode reference library for traded and protected tree species of southern Africa was developed comprising of 81 species and 48 genera. Four primary analyses were conducted to assess the suitability of the core barcodes as a species identification tool using the R package Spider 1.2-0. Lastly, to evaluate this identification tool, query specimens independently sampled at a Mozambican logging concession were identified using DNA barcoding techniques. The nearest neighbour (k-NN) and best close match (BCM) distance based parameter yielded 90% and 85% identification success rate using the core plant barcodes respectively. DNA barcoding identification of query specimens maintained a constant 83% accuracy over the single marker dataset and the combined dataset. This database can serve as a backbone to a control mechanism based on DNA techniques for species identification and also advance the ability of relevant authorities to rapidly identify species of timber at entry and exit points between countries with simple, fast, and accurate DNA techniques.

▼ M.Tech. (Architectural Technology)
This dissertation looks at the problems associated with the mining industry and aims to find an architectural solution that is able to plug-in to the scenario in order to improve the current situation in the social realm and that can promote the empowerment of the communities in which mining occurs. The intention is the creation of a local identity In architecture through construction processes and through leaning from the local inhabitants of the place. The design and development of a jewellery school is envisaged as an appropriate intervention with the capacity to facilitate the strengthening of social ties and networks as well as to create a sense of belonging within the community. Important points of departure include: community involvement In the construction of the building; a focus on ergonomic design and attention to detail. The resulting findings were conducted in Manica, Manica Province, Mozambique,a town which is located 20 km from the Mashipanda Border post bordering Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

▼ This study is a conceptual analysis of power-sharing. It applies power-sharing in the context of Mozambique. The study is informed on the premise that components of power sharing contribute to the duration of peace. However, findings from empirical investigations show that certain types of power sharing are associated with more durable peace than others, primarily through their positive effects on governance and public service delivery. The specific objectives of the study were to contextualize the concept of military power sharing arrangement; to explore the challenges faced in implementing the military power sharing arrangement in Mozambique; to explore the strategies used to manage the Mozambique peace process; to ascertain the challenges faced by the BDF during the reintegration standardized training of FRELIMO and RENAMO forces; and to propose recommendations for future interventions. In order to achieve these objectives, the study used a purposive sampling technique to assemble participants that provided useful data for the study. The target population was made up of members of the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) who participated in the United Nations Peace Mission in Mozambique dubbed UNOMOZ; and those who conducted the reintegration standardized training of FRELIMO and RENAMO military personnel Thematic analysis of the participants’ responses from the interviews was used to address the objectives of the study. The findings of the study reveal that poorly trained military personnel were a challenge to the implementation of power sharing deal in Mozambique. Also, there was a lack of trust and confidence between constituent parties, and a lack of transitional authority in holding forth power until the power sharing deal was fully implemented. In addition, the study found out that there was the problem of language barrier, and that very little counselling was offered to those who were traumatized by the conflict. Also, there was a kind of unwillingness by civilians to accept former combatants in their midst and a lack of logistics for both the peace keepers and the combatants. Among others, the study recommended that NGOs, civil society organizations, and churches should be more pro-active in engaging the government and not only ensuring that every party involved in the power-sharing deal fulfills its role, but also organizing and carrying out counselling sessions for ex-combatants as part of reintegration process.

▼ ENGLISH SUMMARY : Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) involves the illicit purchase, movement and exchange of wildlife specimens as commodities within and across national boundaries. The illicit trade of wildlife is one of the largest threats to the survival of species, including rhinoceros and elephant populations in the wild, and has negative implications on the stability of national economies. Literature states that the limited research at different levels of the illicit chains makes the trade difficult to disrupt. On the one hand, scholars argue that poverty is a driver for involvement in illegal wildlife. On the other hand, some scholars suggest that IWT is driven by growth of wealth in the consumer countries in south-east Asia thus raising the demand for illegal products. This paper aims to understand the socio-economic drivers motivating poor communities, such as Mangalane in
Mozambique, to become involved in IWT. The purpose is to understand the community’s perception to identify some key challenges that research conservation projects have not explicitly addressed. Ultimately, this paper contributes to understanding some intervention gaps from the perspective of the community to address IWT.
The participants were randomly selected but excluded persons under the age of 16 years as they are regarded as minors according to
Mozambique law. The study acknowledged the sensitivity of rhinoceros poaching issues which may challenge the reasoning capacity of minors or threaten their social security. A total of 119 surveys were collected of 480 households (25%) from four out of five villages of the Mangalane community located in
Mozambique near the southeast border of South Africa’s Kruger National Park (KNP). A participatory focus group session followed to assist in explaining some of the findings to ensure that the community participated in the interpretation of data.
The study found that poverty of income has negative implications on wildlife, but mainly wildlife that is necessary for substance consumption, or trade, to supplement household income. The poaching of high value species such as rhino has no immediate use for the community, yet some individuals are involved. Although the community may be collectively defined as poor, poverty levels differ within one community and there are also more affluent individuals within a poor community. These affluent members are more likely to participate in poaching as one must be resourced to participate in poaching. Generally, poor people do not like poachers because they threaten the social security of the community as poachers are also linked to other crimes in the community such as cattle theft and human trafficking. Poor people like wildlife, however, the community’s tolerance of wildlife is very low when the cost of living with it exceeds the benefits received therefrom. The community also expressed a strongly felt need to be granted natural resource use rights. The community is positive towards the protected area and policies, but has a problem with the way policies are…

This study, entitled "Stakeholders Perceptions about their Educational Contributions of GNP in Mozambique" focused on stakeholders of Nhambita buffer zone in the Province of Sofala. My interest in conducting such an investigation stemmed from the fact that when started this research I was working at the center for sustainable development of natural resources (CDS-RN) in Chimoio. — Manica Province and had Gorongosa National Park (GNP) as our pilot project. I realized that there were different stakeholders involved with the Park as well as the communities around it and not that much was done to improve their quality of life. Therefore, there was a need to conduct an inquiry which could lead to identifying the real reason underpinning the stakeholders not to do much and to afterwards draw some conclusions to modify the methodologies in order to change stakeholders' perceptions. In this regard, I conducted interviews and questionnaires in the community and with some stakeholders at Nhambita community, followed by data analysis of research data representing the stakeholders, community members, GNP and also to empower all participants. Hopefully, an educational programme would result from the consensus among all interested parties in the process with the objective of improving the citizen's life.

▼ During three months information about the sewer system of Maputo was gathered, mostly at DNA, DAS, CRA, AdeM, AIAS and at the Municipality of Maputo. The information, consisting of reports, papers, maps, presentations and websites, was used to estimate the potential amount of wastewater in the sewer system of Urban Maputo. This wastewater could be available for reuse in Maputo, at the WWTP, being this the main purpose of the project “Sustainable freshwater supply in urbanizing Maputo, Mozambique” led by TU Delft, UNESCO-IHE and the Mozambican University UEM. The sewer network consists of system one and system two. System one was built by the Portuguese in the 40s as a drainage system, but nowadays it functions as a combined sewer and it discharges directly into the bay. System two, built by DHV, a Dutch consultancy firm, in the 80s consists of sewer lines, a WWTP and two pumping stations. These pumping stations are also supposed to pump a part of the water of system one to the WWTP. However, because of sand in the pipes the pumping stations are not being operated. The billed amount of drinking water was used to calculate the flow in systems one and two. These data were obtained per neighbourhood and multiplied by 0.8, a guideline in Maputo for the amount of drinking water ending up in the sewers. For the water flowing in the sewer network, three cases are estimated, the actual status, system two completely working and the total volume of system one and two. The actual flow into the WWTP is 3957 m3/day with 20,665 m3/day being directly discharged into the bay. If the pumping stations of system two were operating, 10,266 m3/day would flow to the WWTP and 14,357 m3/day would be directed into the bay (Figure 1). By measuring the amount of influent at the WWTP, using the existing Venturi meter, the calculations were validated. The measurements show a flow arriving to the WWTP in the order of the magnitude of the calculations .This influent is generated by approximately 38,000 users that are connected to the sewer system. The sewer network of Maputo has a few critical parts which should be repaired as soon as possible, and better maintained in the future. First of all the pumping station of system two should be turned on. Before this is possible the sand in the sewers in front pumping station two must be removed and the pipes should stay clean. Sand and plastic bags ends up in the sewer system through drains or open manholes. To overcome clogging, drains and manholes have to be better maintained. Another recommendation is to collect the wastewater being discharged by system one and convey it to the existing WWTP or to a new one. The municipality has plans for this but lacks financing. All the water which is collected by system two is conveyed to the WWTP, but the WWTP is not functioning well. There is white slime in the effluent and colourful tarnish, which is a sign of bacteria being present in the effluent. The effluent is either directly used for irrigation of crops, which poses a risk for human…

▼ This dissertation examines forced and migrant labor in central
Mozambique during the late colonial era. Both forced and migrant labor were central to the regional political economy and fundamental institutions through which ordinary Mozambicans engaged with colonial rule. This dissertation focuses upon how they were experienced by ordinary workers, beginning with the 1942 reinstatement of forced labor during the wartime economic boom, and ending with the abolition of forced labor in 1961, shortly before the onset of the Mozambican war of independence. Using over 170 interviews and extensive archival research, it studies the contested movement of individuals to, from, and between different employment across central
Mozambique and southern Africa. Sometimes, this movement was a source of autonomy for individual workers, who used their ability to move across the region to find work best suited to their particular circumstances. Sometimes, this movement was a source of leverage for colonial officials, who directed the movement of workers to magnify their limited capacities of social control.
In examining struggles over labor and mobility, the dissertation explores the broader colonial encounter which they knit together. Examining colonial efforts to control labor mobility reveals the possibilities and limitations of colonial power, from the selective interpretation and utilization of colonial law to the everyday structures of "indirect rule." At the same time, examining how ordinary Mozambicans used mobility within their working lives illuminates a wide array of social dynamics, from changing understandings of gender relations to the affective ties which linked migrants with their distant families. Finally, examining mobility provides a new perspective into the historical relationship between African agency, economic structure and colonial power in postwar southern Africa. Mobility was an essential dimension of how workers navigated the colonial system to their advantage, but it was intermittently controlled by the violent interventions of colonial authorities and permanently circumscribed by the exploitative racism of colonial southern Africa. In examining these fluid dynamics, this dissertation effects a more nuanced account of their variegated roles in making the late colonial history of central
Mozambique.

▼ Objectives: The present study had the following objectives: to identify risk factors associated with diagnostic and treatment delay and with poor treatment outcomes among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis; to describe the role of health workers in the management of patients with tuberculosis; and to describe the genotypic characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains circulating among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
Methods: The study was carried out in Beira city, Mozambique using a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative component was based on a consecutive cohort of newly registered pulmonary tuberculosis patients recruited from five diagnostic and treatment centres. Patients were included in the study if they were at least 18 years of age at enrolment and lived in Beira City. The qualitative study was carried out in one TB clinic and it was based on an ethnographic study of health workers.
Results: TB delay was assessed in 774 patients. Total delay, defined as the sum of patient delay and health system delay, varied from 30 to 780 days and the median total delay for new smear-positive, new smear-negative and retreatment patients was 123, 180 and 150 days, respectively. The median patient delay for new smear-positive patients, new smear-negative patients and re-treatment patients was 56 days, 68 days and 58 days, respectively. The median health system delay for new smear-positive patients, new smear-negative patients and re-treatment patients was 52 days, 73 days and 65 days, respectively. Patient delay was associated with farming, visiting first a traditional healer, low TB knowledge and presence of a concomitant chronic disease. Health system delay was associated with multiple visits to primary health care facilities, farming and presence of a concomitant chronic disease. Age, negative sputum smear result and poor access to health services also played a role in total delay.
The treatment outcomes of 843 patients were assessed. The treatment success rate for new smear-positive, new smear-negative and relapse patients was 91.4 percent, 95.5 percent and 82.0 percent, respectively. Male sex and HIV infection had a strong association with a poor treatment outcome and total delay was associated with an increased rate of death. The death rate for new smear-positive, new smear-negative and retreatment patients was 30, 23 and 34 per 100 000 population, respectively.
The identification and characterization of genotype families was based on samples obtained from 67 patients. A method known as mycobacterial interspersed repeat units-variable number of tandem repeats was used and the results showed that the M. tuberculosis strains circulating in Beira city are a mix of ancestral and modern strains, with a predominance of the East African-Indian and Latin American families. Ancestral strains are characterized…

▼ Infrastructure is an important foundation for urban sustainability. Infrastructure includes both a system of institutions like banks and hospitals (known as social infrastructure) and a network of physical utilities like water and power grids (known as physical infrastructure). Social infrastructure allows households to access social services while physical infrastructure allows households to access physical resources. A lack of household access to either social or physical infrastructure can make a household vulnerable to poverty. Maputo provides one example of this relationship. The city is characterised by a dualistic split between a formal downtown core and informal peri-urban areas. The households in the formal areas of Maputo tend to have a greater access to both social and physical infrastructure, while households in the informal areas tend to have reduced access to both. In Maputo, a lack of household access to social and physical infrastructure also increases the odds that a household will be food insecure. This means that inconsistent infrastructure access seems to predispose a household to food insecurity.
Using household survey data collected from 2071 households in Maputo, this investigation applied binary logistic regression analysis to predict three measures of household food insecurity: the Household Dietary Diversity Score, the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale, and the Months of Adequate Household Food Provisioning. Two sets of independent variables were used in this analysis: inconsistent household access to physical and social infrastructure (measured by inconsistent access to water, electricity, medical care, and a cash income) and a set of social vulnerability indicators (the sex, education, and employment status of the household head, low household income, household size, dwelling informality, and the chronic illness of a household member).
The results demonstrate that households with inconsistent access to infrastructure have greater odds of being food insecure even while controlling for income level, the presence of chronic illness, household size, dwelling informality, or the gender of the household head. The relationship is also very reliable. Using only household access to water, electricity, medical care, and a cash income, it was possible predict whether a sampled household was food insecure with 75% accuracy (in the sampled population). This relationship has important implications for urban planning and municipal social policy. Households in areas with limited access to infrastructure are more likely to be food insecure even when low income is controlled for. Based on these findings, investment in urban infrastructure access may have a knock-on impact on household food insecurity in Maputo. These findings suggest a preliminary alternative intervention for household food security beyond complex and potentially confounding economic policy intervention.

▼ Development organizations claim that rural water projects deliver a wide variety of benefits - from poverty reduction to women's empowerment. This research explores these claims in the context of a rural water project (RWP) in Nampula,
Mozambique. From August of 2011 to July of 2012, I spent 11 months conducting ethnographic research in five communities where handpumps were installed as part of the RWP. The goal of the research was to describe how the water project unfolds "on the ground" from the perspective of men and women in Nampula and illuminate the social and gender related impacts of the project that are not captured in standard evaluations. In Nampula, water is closely connected to exchange networks, power dynamics, cultural traditions, spiritual practices, and social values. Gender roles are formed in relation to water and negotiated around changes in water access. Women spend most of their day in contact with water in some form, and through water practices women fulfill the societal expectations of a good wife and mother.
The meanings and everyday uses of water were not considered in the design of the RWP, and the handpump technology and community management model were not well suited for the socio-cultural context of Nampula. The plans for the RWP were based on a number of incorrect assumptions about "community" local decision making processes, and men's and women's priorities, resulting in a significant gap between what project planners expected to happen and what actually happened in the communities.
The impacts of the RWP rippled beyond the narrow range of economic benefits expected by the MCC, reconfiguring the meanings associated with water, disrupting social exchange networks, and aggravating social divisions. People who did use the handpump also describe the impacts in very different terms than those used by development organizations. This research contributes to theoretical debates about the relationship between gender, water, and development, and also offers practical suggestions for designing water projects that are more equitable, culturally sensitive, and sustainable.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Bovine tuberculosis (BTB), caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex is
reported to cause economic and public health negative impact in countries where it is prevalent.
The control of the disease has been a difficult task worldwide.
The main object of this thesis was to use molecular tools to generate useful information to
contribute to the design of appropriate BTB control measures in
Mozambique. To do so we
considered a deep knowledge of the BTB history in
Mozambique to be essential. The search
was largely based on the reports produced annually by the Veterinary Services and other
available information. We found reports of BTB in
Mozambique as early as 1940. These cases
were mainly identified as a result of post-mortem meat inspection. The higher numbers of cases
reported were from 8 locations, namely Maputo, Magude, Vilanculos, Beira, Chimoio, Tete,
Quelimane and Nampula, and served as a basis to decide the locations to perform prevalence
and molecular epidemiologic studies. Prevalence studies were done in 10 districts selected based on the history of a high number of
BTB case reports (intentionally biased towards locations presumably with higher prevalence),
a high cattle density, but also to represent districts from the south, centre and north of
Mozambique. A representative sample was defined, based on all livestock areas or villages in
Massingir and Govuro Districts or by randomly selecting small-scale and commercial herds in
8 districts, specifically Manhiça, Chibuto, Buzi, Gondola, Mutarara, Mogovolas, Angoche and
Mecanhelas. Results were obtained from 6983 cattle tested using tuberculin testing. Apparent
prevalence varied from 0.98% in Massingir to 39.6% in the Govuro, with prevalence as high
as 71.4% in some livestock areas/herds. The analysis of risk factors showed no noteworthy
difference with respect to the sex of the animal. Younger age had significantly lower odds of
infection compared to the older age class. There was a tendency of cattle from small-scale herds
to have lower prevalence when compared to the commercial herds. From the prevalence studies, 187 tissue and 41 milk samples from BTB reactors were collected.
Additionally 220 tissue samples were obtained from the Central Veterinary Laboratory routine
diagnostic work. Samples were
subject to bacteriological culture and a collection of 170 M.
bovis isolates were obtained. Eight additional isolates were supplied from another study. All
isolates were subjected to molecular typing using spoligotyping, and a sub-sample using
MIRU-VNTR and regions of difference (RD) analysis. Fifteen different spoligotype patterns were identified of which 8 were not previously registered in the Mbovis.org database. The
pattern SB0961 accounted for 61% of the isolates and was found in all areas of the country
investigated. We hypothesize that this was one of the first clones to be introduced in
Mozambique. Twenty-nine isolates had the pattern SB0140, which is specific for the European
1 (Eu1) clonal…

The KaNyaka barrier island system consists of the vegetated KaNyaka and Portuguese Islands, and various partially exposed sandbars. It is situated in south-easternmost Mozambique where it forms a barrier between Maputo Bay in the west and the Indian Ocean in the east. It forms part of the northern most limit of the Maputaland Group, which consists of Pliocene to Holocene sediments. The island system is an example of a compound barrier island since it comprises a stacked succession of several ancient shoreline marine and aeolian sedimentary rock units and sediments, along with various active sedimentary environments. This thesis describe the general geology of the island system, the petrography of the various rock and sedimentary units and provide information on provenance of sediment based on detrital zircon age populations. It also provides several new 14C age dates of shell fossils and calcified rhizoliths. KaNyaka Island consists of two high north-south trending dune cordons along its eastern and western shores, with a low-lying dune-covered area in between. The Western dune cordon consists of aeolian calcareous quartz arenite of the Ridjene Formation unconformably overlain by calcified aeolian dunes of the Alto Pocuane Formation in turn overlain by the unlithified red dunes of the Barreira Vermelha Formation. The core of the Eastern dune cordon consists of the calcareous quartz arenite of the Cabo Inhaca Formation comprised of stacked calcified aeolian dunes, the marine and tidal deposits of the Ponta Mazondue and Ponta Torres formations form the eastern and south-western flanks of the Eastern dune cordon. The formations are overlain by unlithified red to orange sands of the Changana Formation and partially lithified light grey to yellow sands of the Muamuluago Formation. The area between these two dune cordons is covered by low-lying aeolian dunes of the Alto Chumine Formation, ancient sandbar and beach deposits of the Chunhe Formation and both modern and paleo-intertidal flat deposits. Modern sedimentary environments include high-energy beaches, intertidal flats, sand spits, sandbars and aeolian dunes. The presence of aeolian deposits extending below the present sea-level, and marine deposits up to 3m above it, indicates that the KaNyaka barrier island system records a long history of sea-level change. 14C dating of marine and freshwater shell fossils and a rhizolith collected from several of the formations on the KaNyaka barrier island system assist in defining the history of the island with reference to sea-level fluctuations. Results from two freshwater shell fossils in the aeolian Alto Pocuane and Cabo Inhaca Formations indicate that they were deposited and subsequently calcified 47 000 and 30 000 years ago respectively, at times when the sea-level was 40 - 60 m lower than at present. The red sand of the Barreira Vermelha and Changana formation overlying these calcified dunes are suggested to have formed when climate was drier and sea-level even lower, during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) around…

▼ The purpose of this study was to ascertain the teachers' views on factors contributing to low reading levels among Mozambican primary school pupils. In Mozambique, in the last two decades, the government has been working hard to increase school access in primary school, reduce and eliminate illiteracy. The government efforts have included building more primary schools, training more teachers and introducing new primary school curriculum. However, while the government has been multiplying efforts to increase school access and reduce illiteracy, there has been an increasing concern by teachers and parents that most primary school pupils have very low reading levels, especially after the implementation of the new curriculum in 2005.Despite these concerns, the causes of low reading levels have not been profoundly analyzed in Mozambique and in cases where there have been attempts to establish them, the researchers concentrated on conducting tests to pupils.Therefore this study was conducted to ascertain the teachers' views on factors contributing to low reading levels among Mozambican primary school pupils.It was a case study conducted in Maputo district of Mozambique. The study was purely qualitative and the data was collected using face to face interviews and focused group discussions. This was to allow the study to collect detailed and in-depth views of teachers on factors contributing to low reading levels, in Mozambique.The sample of this study which consisted of forty grade five primary school teachers from four selected primary schools was drawn randomly using a simple random procedure. Principals and inspectors were also part of the participants.The findings of this study revealed the following as the key factors that contributed to low reading levels among Mozambican primary school pupils: the automatic transitions which allowed pupils to proceed fi-om one grade to another without being subjected to an examination; the three shift system used in suburbs as an attempt to respond to the parents demand for school vacancies; the language policy which establishes Portuguese, a foreign language, as the only medium of instruction and language of initial literacy; the short duration of the teacher training programme for primary school teachers (grade ten qualification plus one year of training); High teacher - pupil ratio.Other factors revealed by the study included: lack of exposure to pre-schools for most children, inadequate libraries, poor school/parents' collaboration and lack of motivation on the part of the pupils.In view of the findings stated above, the following recommendations were made:
a)The Ministry of Education should re-visit the automatic transition policy where pupils proceed fi-om one grade to another without being subjected to an examination.
b) In suburban areas where there is the three shift system, the Ministry of Education should introduce measures that compensate the limited teacher - pupil contact time.
c) There is a need for the government to revisit the language in education policy which…

▼ Investment Promotion Agencies act as economic development conduits which seek not only just to undertake promotion, but also to improve the wider environment for investors by liaising and initiating change. As a result, worldwide governments have set up Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) to advance investment goals and by extension economic development in the context of a dynamic and competitive environment. Yet, little empirical research is done, especially in the developing world with a view to enhance the working practices of IPAs.
This study investigated the effectiveness and quality of services provided by Mozambique’s Centre for the Promotion of Investment (CPI) from the perspective of both local and foreign investors.
A quantitative approach by way of an online questionnaire was employed in the study. The data generated was analysed with the assistance of a registered statistician.
The study found that most of the participants (local and foreign investors in Mozambique) do not make use of the services which the CPI is mandated to offer such as company registration; registration with the Fiscal Department and the publishing of company constitution in the government gazette, to name but a few. Furthermore, investors who have accessed the above services indicated a lack of service quality by the CPI.
In the wider environment, the study found areas of concern such as an inadequate accounting system and a lack of proper coordination among the stakeholders involved in the process of setting up a business in Mozambique.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Drought has been the major constraint for vegetable and food crop production in arid and semi-arid regions as is the case in southern
Mozambique with a tropical dry savanna climate that is prone to droughts. In this vulnerable region, malnutrition associated with scarcity of vegetables imposed a serious constraint in the diet of rural communities. Rural communities are forced to use wild plants, such as amaranth, as a way to supplement their nutrition. Here Amaranth species grow naturally and the leaves are regularly collected manually to be consumed as tender greens. There is no evidence of grain consumption. Although few growers cultivate amaranth in small areas or in their gardens, the intensity and frequency with which the leaves are collected has not been tested yet. The production of multi-purpose amaranth, a C4 plant widely distributed in the tropics and relatively drought-tolerant crop, offer a great potential to play a beneficial role in nutrition and food security.
Three field experiments with Amaranthus hybridus and A. tricolor repeated six times each (three during the rainy season and three in the dry season) were carried out during the period from December 2013 to October 2015 in Maputo. A randomized complete block design in a factorial arrangement was used in each experiment. Experiment one aimed to assess the vegetative growth, flowering, leaf and grain yields, as well as nutrient contents in leaves and grain of those species when subjected to watering regimes of 80%, 50% and 20% of total available water. The relationship between temperature and day length on the leaf yield and the time to flowering were also assessed (Chapters 3 and 4). The treatments were laid out in a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement with six replications. In experiments two (Chapther 5) and three (Chapter 6), under the same watering regimes and with the same species, the vegetative growth, leaf yield and nutrient content were assessed as affected by harvesting intensity (plants topped by 25% and 50% of their heights) and harvesting frequency (every two weeks and every three weeks) respectively. In these two experiments, the treatments were laid out in a 3 x 2 x 2 factorial arrangement with three replications. Results from experiment one revealed that vegetative and reproductive growths were sensitive to soil water contents of 50% and 20% of total available water. However, the vegetative growth was less susceptible to water deficits that occurred in short intervals throughout the rainy season. Higher calcium and crude protein contents in the leaves were found at low water levels with the highest values obtained in A. tricolor. Temperature significantly affected the high leaf yield during the rainy season while day length had a noticeable influence on the low leaf yield during the dry season. The onset of flowering was determined by day length and minimum temperature with day length the most determining factor. The vegetative growth of both species showed similar behavior in response to different soil water and climate…

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic animals and plants, has the potential to solve the problems of dwindling catches from artisanal fisheries as a result of overfishing and habitat degradation. Tilapia species is one of the most cultured food fish worldwide, second only to carp. In Sub-Saharan Africa, which is in dire need of food security, tilapia has the potential to be a cheap source of protein, which through its cultivation, can contribute to poverty alleviation among the rural poor communities. Tilapia breeds effortlessly in captivity, with this attribute which is considered as the “Achilles heel” of the species, because it predisposes pond systems to overcrowding and low weight at harvest. Efforts to mitigate this shortcoming include mono-sex culture of all-males using exogenous hormone to reverse the sex of sexually undifferentiated fish. This is premised on the fact that improvement in the growth by mono-sex culture will lead to shortened production times and a more uniform weight at harvest, which will ultimately benefit the producers. However, the use of exogenous hormones in aquaculture has recently raised concerns about the effect on farm workers, consumers and on the environment. Recently research has focused on the use of substances of plants origin which mimic the action of hormones as a potential approach to achieve sex reversal in fish. Pawpaw (Carica papaya) seed meal (PSM) contains phytochemicals that hold great promise as a sex reversal and a reproductive inhibition agent in aquaculture. The objective of this study was to determine the optimum inclusion levels of PSM that will produce the highest percentage of male brood when included in the diet of sexually undifferentiated
Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus; OM) fry of approximately one to two weeks old. Furthermore the study investigated the effects of the PSM on the reproductive hormone profile, haematological and serum biochemical parameters, and gonad and liver integrity of pre-vitellogenic OM. At an inclusion level of 10 g/kg of basal diet, PSM was able to skew the sex ratio in favour of males (60% males to 40% females). The proportion of males increased with an increasing dosage of PSM, with the maximum masculinization achieved at an inclusion level of 20 g/kg BD, resulting in 77.8% males produced. When the masculinization success was compared in terms of the duration of the feeding regimes of one and four months, no significant differences were observed in terms of the number of males produced. The inclusion of PSM did not affect the growth and survival rates, neither did it affect the Fulton’s condition factor of the treated fish. It was found that the PSM investigated lowered the level of plasma 17β- estradiol in female fish but had no effect on the level of the same hormone in males. The plasma levels of 11-ketotestosterone was not affected in both genders. The gonad weight and gonado-somatic index of the male fish were not affected by treatment with PSM, while the gonad weight, GSI, fecundity and egg…
