Associations for organizing small enterprises in war-affected areas of Mozambique
Stephen Thomas | Alistair Hallam
The war in Mozambique has left towns in Zambezia Province with crippled infrastructure and populated by displaced people. A project initiated by Save the Children Fund has established associations of artisans which have been organized to supply the basic requirements of the populationin return for wages. 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.
