Dinâmicas da gestão local em Moçambique (1990-2005): uma abordagem dos conteúdos do desenvolvimento econômico local

Abstract

The work studied and seeks to articulate the dynamics of the local management in Mozambique, based on the subject of Local Economic Development (LED), emphasizing the active role of the territory, decentralization and micro finance in the development process. The actions of the development can be characterized as the local development when they generate or strengthen systemic dynamics in the local scale (KLEIN: 1997 & 2003). In the LED converge theories and models that have different origins and that raise diverse methods, in definitive opposing cases. What acts as unifying element in the field of the local economic development are the questions in the origins, the actors, the modalities and the objectives of the actions of development. In order to talk about the local economic development, the actions of the development must be carried through by local actors. Thus, the work examines the general problems of development in Mozambique and suggests a landscaping examination of institutional and administrative method probably to facilitate or assist in defining policies and methodologies for the economic and social development through the participation of local communities and decentralized activities. To achieve its goals, the actions of the local in the economic development must characterize the local actors to play an active role in the development of its communities that can develop initiatives and projects thus, so that endogenous and exogenous resources are mobilized to benefit the local collectivity
