The Mozambican Drying Sun: Historical Understandings of Resource Management, Adaptation Strategies and Preventive Political Action by the Government to Droughts

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)
This thesis adopts a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the role played by droughts in Mozambique to try and assess their impact on the society. More precisely, it reviews the evolution of natural resource management practices in the country from the pre-colonial times to the contemporary period, it analyses actual testimonies coming from inhabitants of Maputo, and it investigates the political and environmental framework set in place by the government. In the end, it is found that there still is a significant gap between the actions which the government plans to implement and the actual social outcome generated by droughts.
