Associations for organizing small enterprises in war-affected areas of Mozambique
01.09.1992
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 population in 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.
