Resolução n.º 7/2021

The document is a resolution from the Republic of Mozambique's Assembly, approving the National Territorial Development Plan (PNDT) and its corresponding Action Plan. The resolution emphasizes the need for land governance and territorial planning in accordance with the country's constitution and the Legal Regime on Territorial Planning. The PNDT's implementation is guided by principles of legality, justice and impartiality, sustainability, participation, and transparency. The government is tasked with ensuring the plan's implementation, promoting the involvement of private sectors, civil society, local communities, and other development partners, and ensuring the creation of technical and institutional capacity for the plan's implementation. The state must ensure respect for national interests in implementing the PNDT, including defense, conservation of natural capital, existing economic activities, public health, local communities' food and nutritional security, and the environment in general. The PNDT respects rights arising from land use and utilization, recognizing that these rights are protected by law and cannot be revoked without due legal process. The resolution is a significant step towards effective land governance and territorial planning in Mozambique.
