(EDM) is planning the implementation of the Mozambican Integrated Transmission Backbone System – the STE Project. The STE Project is a major power transmission project linking the Provinces of Tete and Maputo, through extra high voltage transmission lines. The goals of this Project are to connect and integrate the current two isolated power systems in Mozambique and to allow the evacuation to the southern region of surplus power generated in the north. Due to its complexity, EDM plans to develop the STE Project in phases. Currently, EDM is proposing the implementation of Phase 1 of the STE Project: Vilanculos – Maputo, which includes a 561 km long 400 kV line connecting these two cities, the construction of three new substations (in Vilanculos, Chibuto and Matalane) and the upgrade of the Maputo substation. In order to obtain the Environmental License required in terms of the Environmental Law (Law No. 20/1997, of 1 October) for the development described above (hereafter the “Project”), EDM developed an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) Process. This ESIA was prepared in accordance with national legislation, particularly the ESIA Regulation (Decree No. 54/2015, of 31 December) and associated decrees, as well as with the Southern African Power Pool and World Bank environmental and social policies, and international best practice ESIA standards, namely the IFC Performance Standards. Project Description The STE Project Phase 1 includes a new 561 km long 400 kV HVAC transmission line between Vilanculos and Maputo, the construction of three new substations - Vilanculos, Chibuto and Matalane (in Marracuene) and the upgrade of the Maputo substation (in Boane) (see Figure 1). The proposed alignment crosses three Provinces (Inhambane, Gaza and Maputo) and thirteen districts. The Vilanculos – Maputo power line alignment under assessment in this ESIA is the result of a long iterative design process that has been developed during the last 10 years, through multiple engineering and environmental studies. The proposed alignment was initially evaluated in 2008, in a pre-feasibility study. The alignment was the further optimized in 2009, to which was followed a full ESIA, conducted between 2009 and 2011. As the Project didn’t move forward at the time, for several reasons, the alignment was again optimized in 2015, through a Feasibility Study. The proposed transmission line will start in the new Vilanculos substation and will end in Maputo substation (in Boane District), which wil be upgraded. The main characteristics of the proposed 400 kV transmission line are presented in Table 1.

Clearance of vegetation, as well as removal of built structures, from the RoW will be required, so as to protect the system from windfall, contact with trees and braches and other potential hazards that may result in damage to the system, power failures or forest fires. The RoW will also be utilized to access, service and inspect the overhead line (OHL); Construction of access roads, for line construction and maintenance purposes; Exploration of borrow pits to provide aggregates and inert materials; Establishment of construction camps, including temporary workers’ accommodation and temporary storage sites for equipment and materials. The location of temporary access roads, borrow pits and construction camps is not known at this stage. The location of these support infra-structures will be the responsibility of the construction Contractor, under the supervision of EDM. The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP – Volume III of the EIS report) provides some guidance for these auxiliary infrastructures, so as to minimize their potential impacts. The global project cost for the STE Project Phase I is estimated at 600 million USD (American dollars). Please note that this figure is an estimate and may change during detailed engineering. Project’s Areas of Influence The baseline description and the impact assessment of the Project is based on the delineation of two study areas that cover all physical, biological and social elements that may be directly or indirectly affected by the Project or that could affect its implementation, in all of its phases. These study areas are the Project’s areas of influence, including an area of direct influence (ADI) and an area of indirect influence (AII). When defining these areas, it is useful to consider biophysical and socioeconomic impacts separetly. The Project’s Area of Direct Influence (ADI) is delineated as follows: Environmental Impact Study – Final Report; vi Volume I – Introduction, Project Description and Baseline Assessment ESIA Process for the Mozambican Integrated Transmission Backbone System (STE Project) – Phase 1: Vilanculos - Maputo Biophysical environment: a 300 m wide corridor, centered on the Project’s alignment, as most of the direct biophysical impacts are expected to be felt in the immediate surroundings of the footprint area; Socioeconomic environment: the communities crossed by the proposed RoW. A 2 km wide corridor centered on the line’s route was assumed to encompass all crossed communities. The Project’s Area of Indirect Influence (AII) is defined as follows: Biophysical environment: a 2 km wide corridor, centered on the Project’s alignment; Socioeconomic environment: the boundaries of the districts crossed by the overhead line, as benefits and impacts from Project-induced changes in the ADI are likely to extend to other communities within these territories. Baseline Characterization Physical Environment The proposed route develops along the Great Coastal Plains geomorphological zone, with elevations of less than 200 m. This zone is dominated by soft sediments and covers the region south

  • Traditional Prediction of Drought Under Weather and Climate Uncertainty
    Natural Hazards https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-019-03613-4 ORIGINAL PAPER Traditional prediction of drought under weather and climate uncertainty: analyzing the challenges and opportunities for small‑scale farmers in Gaza province, southern region of Mozambique Daniela Salite1 Received: 5 October 2018 / Accepted: 20 April 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract This paper explores the traditional indicators that small-scale farmers in Gaza province in southern Mozambique use to predict drought events on their rain-fed farms. It analyzes the contextual situation regarding the accuracy and reliability of the traditional prediction methods under the current weather and conditions of climate uncertainty and variabil- ity, and the opportunities that their prediction methods can bring to reduce their current and future exposure and vulnerabilities to drought. Farmers use a total of 11 traditional environmental indicators to predict drought, either individually or combined, as required to increase their prediction certainty. However, the farmers perceive that current unpre- dictability, variability, and changes in weather and climate have negatively afected the interpretation, accuracy, and reliability of most of their prediction indicators, and thus their farming activities and their ability to predict and respond to drought. This, associated with the reduced number of elders in the community, is causing a decline in the diver- sity, and complexity of interpretation of indicators. Nonetheless, these difculties have not impeded farmers from continuing to use their preferred prediction methods, as on some occasions they continue to be useful for their farming-related decisions and are also the main, or sometimes only, source of forecast. Considering the role these methods play in farmers’ activities, and the limited access to meteorological forecasts in most rural areas of Mozambique, and the fact that the weather and climate is expected to continually change, this paper concludes that it is important to enhance the use of traditional prediction meth- ods.

  • Terms of Reference Conducting Viability Assessment And
    Terms of Reference for Conducting viability assessment and design implementation for sustainable livelihood opportunity interventions for seven coastal fishing communities in Massinga, Vilankulo and Govuro districts, Inhambane Province 1. BACKGROUND World Wide Fund for Nature - Mozambique Country Office’s (WWF-MCO) vision is that “natural capital is well maintained and thriving, ensuring sustainable and equitable development for the wellbeing of the people of Mozambique.” This vision is intended to be achieved through four conservation goals on Governance, the Rovuma landscape, the Zambezi landscape, and the Mozambique seascape. The Mozambique seascape sub-strategy goal is that by 2020, priority coastal and marine habitats and species populations are at least maintained at 2015 levels or recovering. Three main sub- strategies are identified to achieve this, namely: (a) reducing the negative impacts from commercial and artisanal fisheries; (b) ensuring that priority habitats and coastal communities are resilient and better adapted to climate change impacts; and (c) building civil society capacity and knowledge to apply the precautionary approach to extractive industry development in marine and coastal areas. The scope for the sub strategy includes 4 specific geographical areas of focus, namely Quirimbas Archipelago (including Quirimbas National Park (QNP)) and Primeiras and Segundas Environmental Protected Area (PSEPA) in the north, the Sofala Bank fishing grounds in the center, and the Inhambane Seascape in the south. Prevailing militant insurgency in Cabo Delgado province led to WWF Mozambique taking the decision to close its operations in the area and in agreement with the primary donor, to relocate the national component of the Improving Governance, Livelihoods and Ecosystem program (SEWOH Fisheries program) to Inhambane province in 2020.
