The Civil Society Support Mechanism Foundation (MASC) and Kenmare Resources have launched a $500,000 program aimed at strengthening social cohesion in the communities of Moma and Larde, Mozambique. The initiative will focus on projects designed to improve community well-being and address local needs. Kenmare Resources, a mineral sands company operating in the region, is providing the funding as part of its commitment to sustainable development. MASC will oversee the implementation of the program, ensuring community participation and accountability. The program intends to foster dialogue, collaboration, and trust between different groups within the communities. Specific project details will be determined in consultation with local stakeholders, prioritizing initiatives that promote inclusivity and address social vulnerabilities. This investment reflects a broader effort to mitigate potential social impacts associated with mining operations and contribute to long-term stability in the region.
