Fifty-two officials from the district governments of Manhiça and Matutuíne, in Maputo province, have undergone training to improve their knowledge in matters of sustainable management of land and natural resources.

The training, guided by Centro Terra Viva (CTV), a non-governmental organisation that works to protect the rights of citizens, is designed to help professionals improve mechanisms for protecting the rights of communities facing investments with the potential to jeopardise environmental and land rights.

The training took place in Matutuíne district on Thursday, September 29, and involved 26 district government officials and managers. The day before, an equal number had been trained in Manhiça district.

Training covered those responsible for the areas of the environment, land, climate change, planning, cadastre, infrastructure, land use planning, mining, planning, gender and also forestry and wildlife surveillance.
