Las mujeres aportan contribuciones significativas a la economía rural en todas las regiones de los países en desarrollo. Sus roles difieren según las regiones, aunque siempre tienen un menor acceso que los hombres a los recursos y oportunidades que necesitan para ser más productivas. Si se incrementara el acceso de las mujeres a la tierra, la ganadería, la educación, los servicios financieros, la extensión, la tecnología y el empleo rural, aumentaría su productividad así como la producción agrícola, la seguridad alimentaria, el crecimiento económico y el bienestar social.

Public-Private Partnerships broadly identify a spectrum of complex legal arrangements between the public and the private sector to provide goods or services within a country. The objective of the PPP is share control, risks, and rewards of a set of fixed assets between a private enterprise and a “public unit”, which is normally a national government. A common thread that runs throughout all PPPs is some degree of private participation intertwined with the provision of goods and services traditionally handled by the public domain.

This paper represents part of an area of work which analyses access to natural resources in Mozambique. An initial paper examined the extent to which Mozambique’s recent regulatory changes to natural resource access and management have had their intended effects (LSP Working Paper 17: Norfolk, S. (2004). “Examining access to natural resources and linkages to sustainable livelihoods: a case study of Mozambique”). This paper is complemented by LSP Working Paper 27: Tanner et al. (2006). “Making rights a reality: Participation in practice and lessons learned in Mozambique”.
