BASELINE ANALYSIS AND SURVEY INSTRUMENTS ii Volume II-B Evaluation of the First Phase of National Agriculture Development Program PART A: BACKGROUND The PROAGRI Coordination Group has requested PriceWaterhouseCoopers, under the agreed upon Terms of Reference in the bid proposal, to provide a final evaluation of the first five-year phase of PROAGRI, the country’s first Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) Programme, which supported agricultural development. Accordingly, a team was fielded in Maputo at the beginning of August. The team consisted of five consultants; three locally based, and two regionally based (see Appendix IV in Volume I for complete list of consultants). The objective of the evaluation mission was to assess the impact of PROAGRI at both the institutional level and at the level of the basic users of agricultural services provided by the Ministry of Agriculture. Through the objectives stated in the two main documents of the programme, the efficiency of the activities, effectiveness of the results and the sustainability of outcomes were analyzed. The evaluation team held its initial meeting with the Comité de Acompanhamento (CA) on 27 July in Maputo, where they were briefed on the background of PROAGRI, its activities, and the intent of the PROAGRI management and the CA in proposing the mission being undertaken. The CA comprises representatives from MINAG, relevant other ministries and donors contributing to the PROAGRI SWAp (see Volume I, Appendix II for complete list of CA members). The Evaluation Team took full advantage of the supervision of the CA at all stages: adjusting the initial survey documents to include observations by the CA members, arranging for CA members to accompany the survey field activities at certain points, and conferring with the CA at an early stage of the document’s development to ensure the report had fully absorbed all points of view. A detailed review of current documentation and initial interviews of key MINAG departments and donors followed the initial briefing, to allow the team to develop the full view of the situation as PROAGRI was started. Using the information obtained, the team developed a work programme and drafted some initial survey guidelines and questionnaires for the various levels of information collection. The methodologies, draft survey instruments, proposed timetable and proposed report layout were collected into a draft Inception Report and presented to the CA on 16 August. The CA met several times to discuss the issues raised in the Inception Report, and delivered a detailed assessment to the team in a report delivered on 13 September, followed by a meeting on 14 September. The issues raised were included in the revised programme of activities, which then continued into field work. A major part of the evaluation process was a series of stakeholder surveys that obtained information on the perception of PROAGRI among the different stakeholders – ministry officials, technicians, donors, NGOs, private 1 Volume II-B Evaluation of the First Phase of

The aim of this qualitative study is to examine why there are few girls in the Mozambican schools. The area chosen for the field study is the small town Montepuez in the Cabo Delgado province, northern Mozambique and the school level is upper primary school, i.e. grade 6 and 7. In the study, factors involved with whether or not girls go to school have been looked into and to some extent, a comparison between girls’- and boys’ schooling situa- tion has been made. An attempt to identify patterns in both urban and rural areas regarding the education of girls has also been made.

F The exchange rate applied in the Study is US$1.00 = MZN30.2 US$1.00 = BRL1.727 (January, 2010) Preparatory Study on ProSAVANA-JBM SUMMARY 1. Background of the Study In tropical savannah areas located at the north part of Mozambique, there are vast agricultural lands with constant rainfall, and it has potential to expand the agricultural production. However, in these areas, most of agricultural technique is traditional and farmers’ unions are weak. Therefore, it is expected to enhance the agricultural productivity by introducing the modern technique and investment and organizing the farmers’ union. Japan has experience in agricultural development for Cerrado over the past 20 years in Brazil. The Cerrado is now world's leading grain belt. The Government of Japan and Brazil planned the agricultural development support in Africa, and considered the technology transfer of agriculture for Cerrado development to tropical savannah areas in Africa. As the first study area, Mozambique is selected for triangular cooperation of agricultural development. Based on this background, Japanese mission, team leader of Kenzo Oshima, vice president of JICA and Brazilian mission, team leader of Marco Farani, chief director visited Mozambique for 19 days from September 16, 2009.

  • Impact Evaluation Design for Mozambique-MCA
    Impact Evaluation Designs for the Mozambique-MCA Land Project: Improving Site-Specific Access to Land Activity in Urban and Rural Areas (Activities III), and the Institutional Strengthening of the Land Administration System (Activities II) Submitted to the Millennium Challenge Corporation By Michigan State University (MSU) and the Ministry of Agriculture Department of Economics (MINAG-DE) Songqing Jin, Mywish Maredia, Raul Pitoro, Gerhardus Schultink, and Ellen Payongayong October 11, 2016 ABSTRACT: The Land Tenure Services Project (or simply the “Land Project”) of the Mozambique MCA compact aims to establish more efficient and secure access to land by improving the policy and regulatory framework and helping beneficiaries meet their immediate needs for registered land rights and better access to land for investment. The Land Project consists of three main types of activities (Activities I, II and III) and several component activities that will be implemented at different levels of geopolitical aggregation (i.e., national, provincial, District, Municipal, “hot spots” areas, etc.). The Michigan State University (MSU) was contracted by MCC to evaluate the impacts of different activities under the Land Project. Specifically, MSU is responsible for evaluating the activities that can be rigorously evaluated, namely, the activities that allow us to establish valid treatment and control groups. This document lays out three separate evaluation designs that evaluate different activities under the Land Project. They include (1) evaluation of the institutional strengthening activity (Activity II) which involves upgrading land administration system in selected municipalities and districts, (2) evaluation of the ‘hot spots’ (or site-specific) activities (Activity III) in urban areas and (3) evaluation of the ‘hot spots’ activity (Activity III) in the rural areas.
