Moçambique : uma longa caminhada para um futuro incerto?Matsinhe, Leví Salomão January 2011 (has links)
A trajetória de Moçambique desde a independência, ocorrida em 1975, até 2009 foi marcada pela transição de uma economia centralmente planificada (socialista) para uma economia de mercado (capitalista). A transição para o capitalismo abriu espaço para financiamentos de Ajuda Externa ao Desenvolvimento das Instituições de Bretton Woods (Banco Mundial – BM e Fundo Monetário Internacional – FMI) e Investimentos Estrangeiros Diretos em forma de mega-projetos das corporações multinacionais em Zonas Francas Industriais e Zonas Econômicas Especiais. Entretanto, a aliança da elite nacional como o capital estrangeiro favoreceu a corrupção, a transferência de lucros das multinacionais para os países de origem, fazendo com que a Ajuda Externa ao Desenvolvimento e os Investimentos Estrangeiros Diretos não produzissem desenvolvimento econômico e bem-estar social, com se pretendia que fosse. Este estudo identificou o Ajustamento Estrutural, a Ajuda Externa ao Desenvolvimento, a corrupção e as Zonas Francas Industriais como os principais vilões da situação de pobreza em que Moçambique se encontra e concluiu que Moçambique nunca irá reduzir a pobreza de forma significativa, contando apenas com ajuda externa, mega-projetos, investimentos estrangeiros e ZFI. O que se pensava que seria o remédio para a saída do marasmo do subdesenvolvimento de Moçambique, (portanto, a ajuda, mega-projetos e ZFI) tornou-se um obstáculo ao desenvolvimento do país. / The trantion from socialism to capitalism characterized the Mozambican trajectory after its independence, held in 1975. This transition gave place to external aid by Bretton Woods (World Bank and International Monetary Fund) and direct investments from multinational corporations mega-projects in special economic free zones. The alliance between the national elite with foreign capital brought corruption, transference of profits from the multinational corporations in Mozambique to its countries of origin. Because of this, the external aid and foreign investments did not develop the Mozambican economy and also did not bring the social well being to the people in Mozambique. This research, identified the structural adjustment, external aid, corruption and special economic free zones as the factories of poverty in Mozambique, and concluded that Mozambique will never reduce poverty looking to external aid, mega-projects, direct foreign investments and special economic free zones. What where thought it was an elixir (mega-projects, external aid, foreign direct investments and special economic free zones) became an obstacle to development.

Soi-même comme un sujet impérial. Littérature coloniale des années 1920 : le cas du Mozambique / Oneself as an Imperial Subject. Colonial Literature of the 1920s : the Case of MozambiqueNeves, Joao Manuel Matos das 14 December 2016 (has links)
Nous proposons, avec cette recherche, un parcours qui se veut exhaustif de la littérature coloniale portugaise des années 1920 en rapport avec le Mozambique. Dans une première partie, nous fournissons des données contextuelles et définissons des concepts opératoires d’analyse indispensables pour procéder à l’étude des récits coloniaux et de leur temps historique. Des données biographiques sur les principaux auteurs de cette période sont présentées, ainsi que leurs œuvres. L’analyse porte ensuite sur les deux grands vecteurs, géographique et morphologique, de constitution et de division des sujets coloniaux. La perception morphologique de l’autre, sur la base d’un référentiel géographique, se trouve directement liée aux représentations de la pensée raciale portugaise développées dans une large mesure à partir de la mythologie aryenne et du darwinisme social. Les récits à l’étude montrent comment les notions de « lutte des races » et de sélection des communautés les plus aptes contribuent à l’élaboration d’une « stratégie de la cruauté » et au déclenchement de flux de mort d’une grande intensité. Le double processus de déterritorialisation des populations par les conquêtes et de leur re‑territorialisation avec la transformation sociale de l’espace par le capitalisme colonial prend place dans un contexte politique totalitaire. L’instauration de la dictature raciale et la généralisation de la terreur engendrent l’astreinte des colonisés à une condition de servitude économique et sexuelle. Le désir colonial permet aussi l’émergence de formes d’hybridité sociale ou culturelle et la mise en cause de l’autorité discursive, immédiatement contrées par le développement d’une politique de domesticité coloniale. / This research proposes a very thorough examination of Portuguese colonial literature related to Mozambique in the 1920s. In the first part, contextual data is made available and concepts essential for carrying out the study of colonial texts in their historical time are defined. Biographical data about colonial authors and data about their works is presented. The analysis is then centred on the main cores, geographical and morphological, of the constitution and the division of the colonial subjects. The morphological perception of the other, based on a geographical reference, is directly related to the representations of Portuguese race‑thinking, developed to a large extent through Aryan Mythology and Social Darwinism. The texts studied show how the notions of the “struggle of the races” and of survival of the fittest among human communities contributed towards the elaboration of a “strategy of cruelty” and the unleashing of death flows of great intensity. The double process of deterritorialisation of populations through conquest and their reterritorialisation through the social transformation of space by colonial capitalism took place in a political context of totalitarianism. The installation of a racial dictatorship and the generalisation of terror forced the colonised into a position of economic and sexual servitude. The colonial desire also allowed the emergence of hybrid social or cultural forms and a questioning of discursive authority; those found an immediate opposition in the development of a politics of colonial domesticity.

Previous issue date: 2006 / Resumo: A técnica do estudo do polimorfismo de fragmentos de restrição, com a pesquisa da seqüência de inserção IS6110 (IS6110-RFLP), é o método de genotipagem mais empregado mundialmente para a caracterização de isolados de M. tuberculosis. Ela pode ser empregada para o estudo de surtos, epidemias ou para estudos de genética populacional. Em Moçambique, onde a tuberculose tem uma elevada prevalência, não há informação suficiente sobre os padrões genotípicos obtidos com a IS6110-RFLP de cepas locais de M. tuberculosis. A descrição dos padrões obtidos com essa metodologia pode ser útil localmente para propósitos epidemiológicos ou, internacionalmente, para descrever o relacionamento de cepas isoladas em Moçambique com outras áreas do mundo. Neste estudo, uma coleção de 158 isolados de M. tuberculosis, identificados com o emprego da análise de fragmentos de restrição após a amplificação de trecho do gene hsp65 (hsp65-PRA), recuperados de pacientes infectados pelo HIV com tuberculose pulmonar e que residiam em Maputo, Moçambique, foram genotipados. O número de seqüências IS6110 obtido variou de 1 to 18, com 21.5% dos isolados exibindo menos de seis cópias. Um total de 10 ¿clusters¿ foram caracterizados, um com três isolados e os demais com dois cada. Os isolados que exibiram menos de seis seqüências não foram incluídos na análise, dado o baixo poder discriminatório do método. Baseado no coeficiente de similaridade, 85% dos isolados tinham mais do que 65% de homologia. Esses dados mostram que, isolados de M. tuberculosis obtidos em Moçambique, África, podem ser analisados, para fins epidemiológicos com o auxílio dessa técnica de genotipagem. Entretanto, um considerável número de isolados exibiu um número pequeno de cópias da seqüência IS6110 e um segundo marcador genético, como a espoligotipagem, deve ser utilizado / Abstract: IS6110 RFLP has been the most widely used genetic subtyping method for M. tuberculosis strains, to characterize disease outbreaks or for evolutionary genetics studies. In Mozambique, where tuberculosis exhibits a high prevalence, there is not enough information about IS6110-RFLP patterns of local M. tuberculosis strains. The description of the fingerprinting patterns obtained with this methodology can be useful locally for epidemiological purposes, and internationally to investigate the relatedness of strains isolated in Mozambique to other areas of the world. In this study, a collection of 158 isolates of M. tuberculosis strains, as identified by using hsp65-PRA, recovered from HIV-infected patients with pulmonary tuberculosis residing in Maputo, Mozambique, was genotyped. The number of IS6110 copies ranged from 1 to 18, with 21.5% of strains exhibiting less than six copies. A total of 10 clusters were found, one consisting of three strains and all the others of two strains. Isolates showing less than six bands were not included in the cluster analyses due to low discriminatory power of the analysis. Based on similarity coefficients 85% of strains had more than 65% homology. This data show that M. tuberculosis strains obtained in Mozambique, Africa can be analyzed for epidemiological purposes with the use of this genotyping technique. However, a considerable number of strains exhibited a low number of IS6110 copies, and a second genetic marker as spoligotyping has to be used. / Mestrado / Clinica Medica / Mestre em Clinica Medica

Human trafficking as a security issue : selected case studiesIroanya, Richard Obinna January 2014 (has links)
This study examined and analysed human trafficking as a security issue using South Africa and Mozambique as country case studies. Information gathered through documentary analysis methodology is relied upon to develop a conceptual framework of human trafficking and security. The link between trafficking and security is evaluated based on the conceptualisation of trafficking in the Palermo Protocol as well as the criteria for declaring social phenomena security threats, as articulated by the UN and several scholars. Through global and national overviews of human trafficking, its patterns, extent and enabling conditions are identified and analysed. In South Africa and Mozambique, human trafficking has domestic and international dimensions and is facilitated by several factors. However, factors facilitating domestic trafficking do not necessarily facilitate international trafficking in South Africa. The opposite is however, the case in the Mozambican context. An analysis of global, regional, and national counter trafficking measures, shows that the national security implications of human trafficking are not explicitly addressed. Trafficking involves national border violations; organised crime; corruption, and physical violence which have implications for security at all levels. Consequently, recommendations are made for the explicit securitisation of trafficking as well as the demonstration of sufficient political will to combat it. Regional and international co-operation is also considered necessary to combat trafficking, as well as prosecution of offenders and the introduction of poverty alleviating measures. / Thesis (DPhil)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / tm2015 / Political Sciences / DPhil / Unrestricted

Church Mission Mobilisation : the case of the World Mission Centre (WMC) in the Niassa Province of MozambiqueLuis, Joao 11 1900 (has links)
This study explores the phenomenon of "Mission Mobilisation" and formulation of a contextual approach toward a successful and effective Church Mission Mobilisation in Africa that results an active involvement of the local church in missions. Using a qualitative exploratory case study method, the study of "Church Mission Mobilisation: the case of WMC in the Niassa Province of Mozambique" has served as a practical way to engage with the subject. Hence, the study demonstrates that the absence of contextualisation of the content and approach used by westerners to mobilise local churches, has left most African churches without interest for missions or involvement of any nature. There is a need for a paradigm shift in the way church mission mobilisation is carried out in modern society (specifically African churches) in order to effectively get the whole church involved in missions. The study concludes with practical recommendations on how the issues raised through this study can be applied to a broader field than the Niassa Province of Mozambique. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.

Is the threat against the Tree of life a threat to the wallet? : A study investigating the coconut lethal yellowing disease’s effect on the farmers’ incomeHammarbacken, Hanna, Segerlund, Max January 2016 (has links)
Coconuts are one of the most economically important plants in Mozambique, where millions of people depend on income from coconuts. The coconut lethal yellowing disease (CLYD) is a highly destructive disease that ever since the early 90’s causes coconut palms in Mozambique to stop producing fruit and leave the coconut farmers with only empty stems. This thesis examines the disease's effect on the farmers’ income, both from coconuts and other complementary sources, since the vendible harvest should decrease with the incidence of the disease. The method used is multivariate linear regression, where several income variables are used as dependent variables. Two models are created, one only interpreted for the sample of 488 observations and one aiming at generalizing the results. By this study, it cannot be confirmed that the incidence of CLYD has a significant effect on coconut farmers’ income. The results from the sample analysis do however show that the income is affected by the degree of the disease, which is an incentive for continued research in the field.

Putting on and taking off the capulana: how Mozambican women manage oppressionTomm-Bonde, Laura Nicole 02 May 2016 (has links)
The original purpose of this study was to answer the following research question: How do women and girls navigate the HIV/AIDS situation in Mozambique? I used constructivist grounded theory, combined with the African philosophy of Ubuntu, as the approach to guide this study. I sensitized myself theoretically with the critical feminist theory of intersectionality to ensure I recognized important data during my collection process. Because grounded theory studies are developed inductively from a corpus of data, and evolve as data collection takes place, I discovered that participants’ concerns went beyond HIV/AIDS and involved a bundle of oppressions. Therefore the problem that participants faced, at a broad conceptual level, was gender oppression. As a result, my study shifted slightly in that I aimed to understand how women and girls managed their lives in relation to gender oppression, how they become socialized into a context that systematically makes room for social and political dominance over them, how they cope with the manifestations of dominance, and how, if ever, they control the situational and characteristic realities of gender oppression. Consequently, I developed a grounded theory about how women and girls manage gender oppression in Mozambique. The basic social process in this theory is called Putting On and Taking Off the Capulana, which can be understood as how women and girls become socialized into gender oppression in Mozambique and how they inch their way out. The four main categories that comprise this theory include: (a) Putting On the Capulana, (b) Turning a Blind Eye, (c) Playing the Game, and (d) Taking Off the Capulana. Second level processes under Putting On the Capulana, for example, include processes such as Adapting to Patriarchy and Living with Violence, which demonstrate how women and girls navigate a context saturated in oppressions. Third level processes, such as being robbed of sexual self-determination and accepting inferiority, explain the consequences of these processes that women and girls are forced to live through. This is a theory, grounded in the data and privileging the voices of women and girls in Mozambique, that is reflective of a constructivist feminist approach and Ubuntu philosophy. I argue that this study provides a nuanced understanding of the complexity of gender oppression in Mozambique, which can assist in developing relevant and meaningful policy. / Graduate / 0569 / 0573 / 0733 / lntomm@uvic.ca

Determination of salinity tolerance limits of tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, for use in tuna line fisheryFitwi, Biniam Samuel 12 1900 (has links)
Assignment (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Many species of tilapia such as Oreochromis mossambicus are
euryhaline, able to adapt to different salinity waters. Their ability to
withstand high salinity levels has given rise to the possibility of using
tilapia as baitfish for tuna line fishery. The purpose of the study was to
determine the survival rate of tilapia O. mossambicus during direct
transfer from freshwater to the salinity levels of 0, 15, 20, 22.5, 25, 27.5,
30, 32.5, and 35 ppt. The data was analysed through means of
univariate ANOVAand regression analysis.
O. mossambicus showed no mortality to all salinity regimes up to
25 ppt. Mortality was observed at 27.5 ppt, with 100% mortality at 35
ppt. LC 50 and LC 90 were found to be 30.5 and 34.2 ppt, respectively.
The results indicate that tilapia (0. mossambicus) will survive a direct
transfer to salinities up to 25 ppt. acclimation will be required in the
event of transfer to salinity levels above 25 ppt, in order to prevent
significant levels of mortalities. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Meeste van die tilapia spesies soos Oreochremis mossambicus het die
vermoë om by water van verskillende soutgehaltes aantepas. Dit is
hierdie vermoë om hoë sout vlakke te weerstaan wat die moontlikheid vir
gebruik as lewende aas in die tuna langlyn visvangbedryf moontlik maak.
Die doel van hierdie studie was om die oorlewingsvlak van tilapia, O.
mossambicus te bepaal by die oorplasing van varswater direk na
soutwater by vlakke van 0, 15, 20, 22.5, 25, 27.5, 30, 32.5, en 35 dele
per duisend. Die data is verwerk deur gebruik te maak van eenvariant
ANOVAen regressie analises.
O. mossambicus het geen mortaliteite tot gevolg gehad by al
die oorplasings van vlakke tot en met 25 dele per duisend sout nie.
Mortaliteite is wel gevind vanaf 27.5 dele per duisend, met 100 %
mortaliteite by 35 dele per duisend. LC 50 en LC90 was gewees 30.5 en
34.2 dele per duisend onderskeidelik. Die resultate toon aan dat tilapia
(0. mossambicus) sal oorleef by direkte oorplasing na soutwater by
vlakke van tot en met 25 dele per duisend. Tilapia wat na hoër vlakke as
25 dele per duisend oorgeplaas wil word, sal eers geleidelik moet
akklimatiseer om mortaliteite te beperk.

Effect of phytogenic feed additives on gonadal development in Mozambique tilapiaAmpofo-Yeboah, Akwasi 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigated the “Effect of Phytogenic Feed Additives on Gonadal Development in Mozambique tilapia
(Oreochromis mossambicus). Aquaculture remains the fastest growing animal food-producing sector and it is set to
overtake capture fisheries as a source of food fish, and also to outpace population growth. This rapid growth can be
attributed to the increasing demand for aquaculture products, and an urgent need for a sustainable food resource and
the safe production of food. Globally, fish provides over 3.5 billion people with up to 15 percent of their average per
capita intake of animal protein.
The introduction of aquaculture to sub-Saharan African (SSA) took place during the 1940s and 1950s, and the main
objectives were to improve nutrition in rural areas, allow for the diversification of activities to reduce the risk of crop
failures, to generate additional income, and to create employment opportunities. Aquaculture was seen as a viable option
for rural development in SSA, and substantial resources were invested to support its development. Poor results were
however, recorded in terms of production and sustainability.
Tilapia is the most widely cultured of all fish species farmed, and the second most important group of freshwater and
brackish water fish after carps. Tilapia has all the necessary traits that makes it an excellent species to culture, but costefficient
production is hampered by the animals attaining sexual maturity at a an early age, which then result in
precocious breeding in aquaculture systems. The production of single-sex populations (i.e. all male) is a potential means
to address the problem of precocious breeding, but the technologies used to establish single-sex populations are not
readily available to resource-poor communities that farm with tilapia for food purposes.
Phytochemicals, also known as phytoestrogens, are plant-derived compounds that structurally or functionally mimic
mammalian estrogens that affect the sexual differentiation of fish. Phytochemicals occur in plants like Pawpaw (Carica
papaya) and Moringa (Moringa oleifera). The study thus had a threefold objective. Firstly, the study investigated the
potential of Pawpaw seed meal (P) and Moringa seed meal (M), as part of a commercial tilapia diet, to be used as
endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC’s) to control the reproduction of sexually mature Mozambique tilapia (20-45g).
Secondly, assess the potential of P and M to inhibit the attainment of sexual maturity in immature tilapia (2-8g). Finally,
P and M to determine its influence on sexual differentiation of tilapia fry (9-12 days posthatch) to produce all-male
populations.
The study indicated that both P and M seeds contain bio-active chemicals that are capable of disrupting the gonad
function, differentiation and sexual maturation of Mozambique tilapia. Sperm production was affected, evident in the
degeneration of the testicular tissue samples. Egg production, ovulation and spawning were all affected, as evident in the
difference in colour of the degrading eggs, as well as the absence of spawning. Ovo-testes were observed in cases
where diets containing 10.0g P and 10.0g M /kg basal diet were fed. Eggs were observed in the ovaries of sexually
immature fish, but spawning did not occur. The study also presents the first report on the isolation of Oleanolic acid in
Moringa seeds.
The evident of antifertility properties of both Pawpaw and Moringa seeds can be exploited to control or prevent
reproduction of Mozambique tilapia in SSA aquaculture systems. This could be of particular importance to aquaculture
development in rural areas of Sub-Saharan African countries, given the abundant year round availability of these
compounds. Further studies are required to optimise the preparation of the experimental compounds; as well as
determining the optimal inclusion level of the phytogenic compounds, as well as how their efficacy to manipulate the
reproductive potential and ability of Mozambique tilapia are influenced by environmental factors such as water
temperature. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Akwakultuur is die vinnigste groeiende dierlike voedsel-sektor. Daar word verwag dat dit visserye sal oortref as ʼn bron
van voedsel en dat groei in dié bedryf selfs die bevolkingsgroei sal verbysteek. Die vinnige groei in die sektor kan
toegeskryf word aan die toenemende vraag na akwakultuur produkte en 'n dringende behoefte vir 'n volhoubare voedsel
hulpbron, wat ook die veilige produksie van voedsel sal verseker. Wêreldwyd voed vis meer as 3.5 miljard mense en dra
tot 15% van die gemiddelde hoeveelheid dierlike proteïen per kapita ingeneem, by.
Die bekendstelling van akwakultuur in sub-Sahara Afrika (SSA) het gedurende die 1940's en 1950's plaasgevind, met die
belangrikste doelwitte om voeding in landelike gebiede te verbeter, geleenthede vir diversifisering te skep wat die risiko
van misoeste verminder, om bykomende inkomste te genereer en werksgeleenthede te skep. Akwakultuur is gesien as
'n lewensvatbare opsie vir die ontwikkeling van die landelike gebiede in SSA en aansienlike hulpbronne is belê om die
ontwikkeling daarvan te ondersteun. Swak resultate is egter in terme van produksie en volhoubaarheid behaal.
Tilapia is die mees algemene spesies wat gekweek word en is die tweede mees belangrike groep van varswater en brak
water vis soesies, na Karp. Tilapia beskik oor al die nodige eienskappe wat dit ʼn uitstekende spesie vir voedselproduksie
maak, maar koste-doeltreffende produksie daarvan word gekortwiek deur die feit dat die spesie seksuele volwassenheid
op 'n vroeë ouderdom bereik, wat dan lei tot vroeg-rype teling en die gevolglike oorbevolking en swak groei van tilapia in
ʼn akwakultuur sisteem. Die produksie van enkel-geslag bevolkings (d.i. slegs manlike vis) is ʼn potensiële oplossing vir
dié probleme, maar die tegnologie wat gebruik word om enkel-geslag bevolkings te produseer is nie geredelik toeganklik
vir hulpbron-arme gemeenskappe wat met Tilapia vir kosdoeleindes boer nie.
Fitochemikalieë, anders ook bekend as fito-estrogene, is verbindings wat in plante voorkom en wat struktureel of
funksioneel die werking van die natuurlike soogdier estrogene/androgene naboots, met die fitochemikalieë wat die
seksuele differensiasie van vis beïnvloed. Fitochemikalieë kom in plante soos papaja (Carica papaya) en Moringa
(Moringa oleifera) voor. Die studie het dus gepoog om die potensiaal van papaja saad meel (P) en Moringa saad meel
(M), as deel van 'n kommersiële tilapia dieet, om as endokriene ontwrigters (EDC's) gebruik te word om die reproduksie
van seksueel volwasse Mosambiek tilapia (20-45g) te beheer, om te voorkom dat onvolwasse tilapia (2-8g)
geslagsrypheid te vroeg bereik en ook om die geslagsdifferensiasie van tilapia vingerlinge (9-12 dae na uitkom) te
manipuleer om enkel-geslag (manlike) produksiegroepe te produseer.
Die studie het aangedui dat beide papaja en Moringa sade bio-aktiewe chemikalieë wat die werking van die
gonadotrofien hormone, geslagsdifferensiasie die stadium waarop Mosambiek tilapia geslagsrypheid bereik, kan
beïnvloed. Spermproduksie is negatief beïnvloed, soos waargeneem in die degenerasie van die testisweefsel.
Eierproduksie, ovulasie en die vrystelling van eiers is almal negatief beïnvloed, soos duidelik waargeneem in die
kleurverskil (van normale eiers) van eiers wat ʼn mate van reabsorbsie aandui en die feit dat geen eiers vrygestel is nie.
Ovo-testes is waargeneem in gevalle waar diëte met 10.0g papaja en / of Moringa / kg basale dieet gevoer is. Eiers is
waargeneem in die eierstokke van seksueel onvolwasse vis, maar vrystelling het nie plaasgevind nie. Die studie is die
eerste verslag oor die isolasie van Oleanoliese suur in Moringa sade.
Die duidelike reproduksie-beperkende (anti-vrugbaarheid) eienskappe van beide papaja en Moringa sade kan benut kan
word om reproduksie in Mosambiek tilapia te voorkom of te manipuleer in SSA akwakultuur stelsels. Dit is veral van
besondere belang vir akwakultuur ontwikkeling in die landelike gebiede van SSA lande, gegewe dat beide sade regdeur
die jaar geredelik beskikbaar is.
Verdere studies word benodig om protokolle vir die voorbereiding van die eksperimentele verbindings te optimaliseer,
sowel as die bepaling van die optimale insluitingsvlakke van die fitogeniese verbindings, asook hoe die doeltreffendheid
van hierdie verbindings deur omgewingsfaktore soos water temperatuur beïnvloed word. / The University for Development Studies (UDS), Ghana, particularly Prof S.K. Nokoe, and Ghana

Transforming masculinities into an asset for HIV prevention : a case study of how Mabutho's (The UCCSA men's organization) teachings on masculinities can mediate HIV prevention in the UCCSA-Mozambique.Macule, Salvador Armando. January 2012 (has links)
This study explores whether and how Mabutho’s (The UCCSA men’s organization) teachings on masculinities can mediate HIV prevention in the Mozambique Synod of the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa (UCCSA). It begins by showing the importance of Mabutho in church and society in order to establish whether this male-dominated Christian organization can play a role in HIV prevention.
The study is premised on the growing literature which suggests that organized religion (especially Christianity and Islam)*[¹], which are the main religious institutions in the world, and in Africa in particular, have been the birth place for the patriarchal ideologies which are critical in the promotion of the HIV pandemic.
Through a close analysis of Mabutho’s teachings, the study will show that though most of Mabutho’s teachings are sustained by a patriarchal ethos, Mabutho have agency, and can be an asset in the prevention of the HIV pandemic. It further argues that Mabutho, just like other men’s organizations which play a pivotal role in the life of many churches, can be used as a space for the liberation of harmful notions of masculinities in the era of the HIV pandemic. The study concludes by recommending that the UCCSA in Mozambique improve in the pre- and post-marital teachings on marriage and sexuality.
