Non-governmental organizations and Business Partnerships for strengthening Social Development in Mozambique: A case study of Mozal S.A.R.L

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

To what extent can partnerships between NGOs and businesses contribute to Maputo city’s development? Considering that a vast portion of the economic activity in Mozambique consists of businesses and the fact that NGOs have been significant players in the development arena in Mozambique since the early 1980s, this thesis explores NGOs and business partnership as a potential mechanism through which social development can be achieved. This exploratory research uses the case study method to discuss the characteristics of successful partnerships, corporate social responsibility (CSR) within Mozambique and to what extent CSR contributes to the well-being of communities surrounding the Mozal Industrial area in Maputo. Findings suggest that social development is achievable but mainly on the micro level.
