MISSION AND OBJECTIVES
The mission for Coutada 5 is as follows:
“To plan, develop, manage and utilise Coutada 5 in such
a manner that the seriously depleted biodiversity
resources will be rehabilitated over time, and in line
with relevant Mozambican laws and policies, thus
allowing sustained consumptive and non-consumptive use
of these resources, whilst at the same time pursuing
sustainable agricultural developments on certain
sections of the Coutada, and simultaneously
acknowledging the need to involve the local communities
in a positive, meaningful and mutually beneficial
manner.”
The diversity of the project objectives is a reflection
of the complexity of what needs to be done and of the
magnitude of the venture. A total of five
biodiversity-based conservation objectives, four
sustainable use objectives, one each of tourism and
social objectives, four fiscal and administrative
objectives and two collaboration objectives were
identified. These objectives are directly based on the
corresponding national objectives for Mozambique.
