Who Are We? The Association for Support and Legal Assistance to Communities (AAAJC) is an mozambican Civil Society Organization (CSO) based in Tete province, non-governmental and non proffit, created in 2008 by
a group of Paralegals in natural resources and development law, formed by the Center for Legal and Judicial Training (CFJJ), now Ministry of Justice, who decided to organize themselves based on their knowledge to promote
social and economic development and respect for human rights based on observance of the principles of social justice, equity and sustainability. Its scope of action was limited to the areas of economic development and poverty
reduction in a participatory manner, legal support to communities and citizens, environmental education, conflict resolution, advocacy of public policies and human rights. In 2010, following the implementation of some initiatives
and completing the process of its constitution, the organization was formally legalized with statutes published in the Bulletin of the Republic no. 2, III series, 4th supplement of January 19, 2010.
