Associations for organizing small enterprises in war-affected areas of Mozambique
Stephen Thomas | Alistair Hallam

Conceived primarily as a relief and rehabilitation project, the associations have some potential to foster entrepreneurship among their members, although the transition to self-reliance and autonomy is seen to be problematic.
