• Setting up Traditional Medicine Centers with a view to promoting rational, monitored, regulated use and promoting interactions between traditional and conventional medicine. 6.5.4. Promoting, monitoring and controlling the exploitation traditional knowledge in Mozambique The exploitation of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge is an issue that involves a variety of national institutions and civil society. For these resources to be efficiently identified and exploited, an awareness of all the players involved must be developed and a mechanism for dialogue and linking, on the options that best meet the concerns of all, must be created. There is an urgent need, above all, for a specialized and technically competent national body to develop the best mechanisms for promoting and safeguarding genetic resources and associated knowledge. This aim will be achieved by means of the following strategic actions: • Setting up a national body responsible for managing and exploiting genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge; • Stimulating community involvement and participation in projects to exploit traditional local knowledge; and • Empowering individuals and communities to develop advocacy on this issue at the local level. 6.6 Creativity and the development of the cultural industry The Cultural Policy and Implementation Strategy 4 defines culture as “a complex set of ways of being, behaving and relating, from birth to death, and including the rituals that mark the principal stages in the process of social integration and socialization.
