MICAIA Manifesto

The MICAIA Manifesto is a statement of MICAIA’s core beliefs and our priorities for pursuing in Mozambique our alternative vision for the world in which we live. It sets out in brief MICAIA’s analysis (based on our research and policy papers) of environment and society, trade, agriculture and food, natural products, and tourism. In each case, based on this analysis, we present our ‘theory of change’, the purpose of our work and the steps we believe need to be taken to bring about the change we pursue.

The Manifesto then sets out the full range of proposed actions and priorities for MICAIA under the following themes:

Strengthening local economies	- Feeding the family; feeding the community - Feeding the nation; feeding the region - Local products for local markets - New economic opportunities

Supporting healthy vibrant communities	- Active citizens – learning for life - Connecting people and communities

Building consensus for social and economic change	- Building constituency for sustainable trade - Challenging assumptions - Building constituency for change - Building and sharing knowledge
