MCHIP also supports provision of Family Planning services through both these initiatives. These services are to be further integrated within the framework of the Integrated Service Packages, which MCHIP is assisting the MOH to roll out in 2012. The package of support for each of these initiatives consists of the following: • Support for development of national policies, norms, and guidelines (Objective 1) • Improvement in the functioning of the Routine Health Information System (Objective 1) • Training, especially based on the development and implementation of the MOH’s Integrated In-Service Training Package, but including pre-service education as well (Objective 3) • Leadership of other USG partners and coordination with other development partners under the leadership of the MOH for maximum impact (Objective 7) • Support for implementation and improvement of the quality improvement system (Objective 8) Intensive support for service provision is provided in a subset of MMI and CECAP facilities, selected in coordination with the MOH. This includes the following additional elements: • Intensive support for supervision and on-the-job training • Improvements of key supplies and infrastructure • Direct support for community activities A diagrammatic summary of the Results Framework is shown in Figure 1. The Associate Award began on April 12, 2011. This report covers the period July 1 – September 30, 2012. MCHIP Mozambique: Quarterly Report, July 1 – September 30 2012 3 Figure 1: Diagrammatic summary of MCHIP Mozambique Results Framework MCHIP Mozambique: Quarterly Report, July 1 – September 30 2012 4 RESULTS FROM PREVIOUS QUARTER (July 1 – September 30, 2012) MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS • The subagreement modification with Save the Children was approved by USAID. MCHIP provided an orientation to all drivers in August, and the vehicles were deployed to the provinces and began supporting supportive supervision/community mobilization activities immediately thereafter. The MCHIP National Senior Advisor and Interim Chief of Party traveled to each of the provinces during the quarter to meet with the DPS and explain the type of support the project would be providing to the provinces, as well as provide an explanation of how the project vehicles would be managed and utilized in each of the provinces. Joint monthly provincial activity plans were developed and implemented by the Provincial Assistants (MNCH Nurses) and Community Mobilization Officials, in coordination with the DPS. • MCHIP supported the MOH to expand the Model Maternities Initiative to 80 health facilities by the end of September 2012. • MCHIP supported the MOH to expand CECAP services to 75 health facilities by the end of September 2012. • MCHIP provided technical assistance to ISCISA students to develop and submit two study protocols to the Scientific Commission in Humanized Birth and Active Management of the Third Stage of Labor. In FY13, MCHIP will provide technical and financial support for these students to conduct their studies (pending approval from the Ethical Committee). • MCHIP conducted 14 intensive supportive supervision visits to MMI facilities and 14 supportive supervision visits to CECAP facilities, in collaboration with the MOH, in Quarter 4 • MCHIP collaborated with the MOH to train 112 health workers from Zambézia Province in Helping Babies Breathe. • MCHIP provided logistical and financial support to the MOH to train 1,006 health workers from Niassa, Inhambane, Maputo Province, and Maputo City in malaria case management. • MCHIP supported the MOH to conduct the first National Training of Trainers (TOT) on the Methodology for Utilization, Testing and Validation of the Integrated In-Service Training Packages in July with 49 health professionals from all provinces, including representatives from the DPS, Training Institutes, health facilities, MOH central level, USAID, WHO and MCHIP. • The Integrated In-Service Training Packages are currently being tested at the provincial level; the testing and validation phase will be completed by December 2012. • MCHIP supported DNAM to organize and implement a high-level meeting to formalize the National Committee for Quality and Humanization of Care. The meeting was presided by the Honorable Minister of Health on August 13, 2012. A total of 45 members officially joined the Committee, including representatives from civil society, traditional leaders and community leaders, representatives from higher education institutions, the League of Human Rights, the Quality Commission, Military Health, the Directorates and Departments of the MOH, and partnering organizations including USAID, CDC, WHO, UNICEF, and UNFPA, among other. Close to 60 participants were present at the meeting. • MCHIP supported the implementation of three provincial trainings which resulted in the training of 161 members of district-level Quality and Humanization Committees. MCHIP Mozambique: Quarterly Report, July 1 – September 30 2012 5 • SBM-R standards for MMI, CECAP, and Family Planning were finalized. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT • MCHIP developed and submitted the Associate Award work plan and budget for FY13. MCHIP received approval of this plan from USAID on October 1, 2012.

  • Part 4: Regional Development Plan
    PART 4: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Chapter 1 Overall Conditions of the Study Area The Study on Upgrading of Nampula – Cuamba Road FINAL REPORT in the Republic of Mozambique November 2007 PART 4: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Chapter 1 Overall Conditions of the Study Area 1.1 Existing Conditions of the Study Area The Study area consists of the two provinces of Niassa and Nampula. The total length of the Study road is approximately 350 km. In this chapter, overall conditions of the study area are described in order to prepare a regional development plan and to analyze economic, social and financial viability. The Nacala Corridor, which extends to Malawi through the Nampula and Niassa Provinces of Mozambique from Nacala Port, serves as a trucking route that connects northern agricultural zones with important cities and/or towns. In the rainy season, which is from November to April, the region has a high rainfall ranging from 1,200 to 2,000 mm. As the Study road is an unpaved road, it is frequently impassable during the rainy season, affecting the transportation of crops during this period. Looking at the 3 regions in Mozambique, results of the economic performance study conducted by UNDP over the period under analysis continue to show heavy economic concentration in the southern region of the country, with an average of about 47% of real production as can be seen in Figure 1.1.1. Within the southern region, Maputo City stands out with a contribution in real terms of about 20.8%. The central region follows, with a contribution of 32%, and finally, the northern region with only 21% of national production.
