Mozambique's moves to plan for sustainable development are of vital interest to neighbouring South Africa. Dominated until recently by destruction rather than development, Mozambique in the late-1990s is working towards building sustainable development. The contributions and research here are the work of government ministers, NGOs andacademics pursuing this end. Among the topics covered are: governance and decentralization; creating industrial development projects; harmonizing formal and customary law in the management of natural resources; improving the management of the coastal zone; environmental education; managing water resources; and the impact of gold mining.
