Análise do Fundo de Desenvolvimento Distrital na criação de emprego e renda: o caso do distrito de Marracuene, (2010-2013)

Abstract

The present work analyzes the District Development Fund in the scope of the creation of employment and income, specifically in the Marracuene District (Maputo Province) in the period 2010-2013, based on the functionalist theory. In effect, the District development (FDD) arises in the context of the deepening of the framework of decentralization of planning and budgeting instruments in force in the country. In 2006, the Government of Mozambique defined that districts are the development pole and as a basis for planning, the local initiative investment budget (OILL) was institutionalized, which later came to be called District Development Fund (FDD) this in 2009, as being an instrument or mechanism for the development of local communities through the granting of repayable loans. However, the study found that FDD improved levels of employment and income of the communities in the district, the beneficiaries of this fund create jobs as well as boost their family income, the same found also that the participation of local communities in decision-making processes on the management of the FDD is weak or almost nonexistent, due to the weak institutional and technical capacity of the local administrative machine, including CCD and ETD.
