Information to be updated

According to article 2, of Law n.º 23/2009 of 8th September - the General Cooperative Law (Mozambique), Cooperatives are autonomous legal entities, freely constituted, with variable capital and composition, with democratic control, where members contribute goods and services to economic activities of common benefit, through risk sharing.

According to the national coop law, in Mozambique there are two types of cooperatives:

First-degree cooperatives (made up of individuals and/or legal entities). and Second-degree cooperatives (unions, federations and confederations of cooperatives)

.

The constitution of a cooperative occurs through a social contract, concluded in a written document and signed by at least five members (for first-degree cooperatives) or two members (for second-degree cooperatives).
