União Geral das Cooperativas (UGC) and Maputo's Green Zones (Zonas Verdes)
MZMaputo, Mozambique
A network of peri-urban farming cooperatives in the outskirts of Maputo, which grew out of the Gabinete das Zonas Verdes set up in April 1980 to address food shortages and land-tenure problems after independence. The União Geral das Cooperativas was formed in 1982–83 and by 1987 covered 181 member organisations with over 10,000 members. It is an early, large-scale case of a citizens' organisation — overwhelmingly of women — coming to supply a capital city with fresh food.
