Strategic areas of our work

Peace, Human Rights and Democracy

Democracy and Human Rights

This pillar promotes the protection of civic space, the strengthening of electoral justice, and the defence of fundamental rights in Mozambique through applied research, monitoring, public interest strategic litigation, and direct legal assistance across the country. It also encompasses CDD’s work on transitional justice, advancing truth, accountability, reparations, and reconciliation as foundations for rebuilding democratic trust; business and human rights, with a focus on corporate accountability; and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, contributing to ensuring that business activities and security operations respect human rights and the rights of communities.

Economic Justice

This pillar promotes transparent and accountable economic and natural resource governance geared towards Mozambique’s inclusive development, with a particular focus on critical minerals, artisanal and small-scale mining, and a just energy transition. It advances communities’ right to development by promoting their meaningful participation in decision-making and ensuring that they benefit fairly from the exploitation of natural resources. The pillar also supports the economic empowerment of young people through the establishment and strengthening of youth cooperatives, fostering entrepreneurship, employment and income generation, and meaningful youth participation in local economic development.

Rights, Resources and Responsibility

Community Peace and Security

To reduce the factors that drive violence and strengthen local and regional mechanisms for prevention, protection, and social recovery through rights-centered and justice-based approaches.

Business and Human Rights

To ensure that private economic activity — especially in critical mineral value chains and large-scale projects — respects human rights, generates equitable local benefits, and is subject to effective accountability mechanisms, in accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR).
