- The Center for Democracy and Development (CDD), in partnership with OXFAM, Center for Research on Multinational Corporations (SOMO) and Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA), and with support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, organized, on the 20th of October, in the city of Tete, a reflection event on “Appropriate mechanisms for sharing extractive industry revenues for the integration of producing regions in the local development agenda”.
The event took place in a context where the population in Tete province continues to live with one of the highest incidence rates of poverty (IGM, 2017)1 , even after long years of large-scale coal exploration by Brazilian mining company Vale Moçambique. The objective is to advocate for the design of policies that ensure that resources from the extractive industry have a direct impact on improving the lives of the populations in the exploited areas.
