Title panel: Resettlement Experiences in Mozambique 

Organizers: Kei Otsuki, Nikkie Wiegink, Murtah Read (Utrecht University)

Abstract

Mozambique is currently experiencing over fifty resettlement projects, and more resettlement projects are planned in the surroundings of large-scale investment projects. Resettlement processes are undertaken in various parts of the country and in relation to a wide variety of projects most notably coal mining and railway infrastructure in central provinces, a national park in the southwestern part of the country, and most recently the development of a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project in the north. In addition, small-scale resettlement projects are becoming a routine practice of in urban contexts. Resettlements in Mozambique are undertaken within the context of a relatively progressive national policy framework. Community consultation and benefit sharing are some of the principles enshrined in these policies, which are aimed at minimizing the negative impacts of involuntary project-induced displacement. Resettlements are therefore associated with a range of development expectations of local populations and other project actors.

At the same time, realizing project commitments and meeting expectations have proven to be particularly challenging due to a mixture of legal ambiguities, capacity limitations, political unwillingness, and the sheer diversity of local contexts. The empirical, comparative and systematic knowledge development of resettlement practices has been limited, and there is a need to analyze the interventions in place for addressing the challenges faced by the local populations involved.

This panel aims to join scholars who are working on resettlement experiences in Mozambique to discuss issues such as the legal framework, livelihood security and recovery, remedy/grievance mechanisms, experiences of displacement and belonging, community dynamics, the political economy of resettlement, and (land) governance dynamics. It invites academic papers as well as policy experiences from the interested public.
