Thank you very much! Carlos Malita Nampula, October 2019 1 V. Executive Summary SEMEAR continues to strengthen partnerships and collaboration with stakeholders in the seed-subsector to sustainably increase the impacts of the initiative on the agricultural sector and the Mozambican economy. After four years of implementation, the results of the project are visible and the changes in the seed-subsector are evidenced by the increased availability of and access to good quality seeds of common bean, cowpea, groundnut, pigeon pea, sesame, and soybean. At the end of the FY19 season, SEMEAR produced 10.5 tons of breeder/pre-basic and 94.9 tons of basic seeds constituting 105.4 tons of early generation seeds which will be able to plant 2,843 ha for certified seeds in the upcoming 2019/2020 season. SEMEAR supported partners including seed companies, individual seed producers, farmers’ associations and NGOs to produce certified seeds through the supply of 30.85 tons of basic seeds, training on seed production, facilitation of seed field inspection and certification of 164 ha seed fields by the Seed Inspection Unit (SIU).

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Final Report of the Needs Assessment
    Assessment of the capacity of the health services to provide essential obstetric care in Tete province, Mozambique Final report of the needs assessment December 2000 1. INTRODUCTION Maternal mortality is a serious health problem in Mozambique. While the last census in 1997 and the DHS1 did not calculate exactly the maternal mortality ratio in the country, careful estimates indicate the MMR to be between 500 and 1500 deaths per 100 000 live births, but no reference is given. The only reliable information that is available comes from a sisterhood survey done in 19952. Even with these important differences in estimation of the exact figure of the maternal mortality, the problem is being recognised as an important one for the health planners and the donors in the country. Mozambique has made a clear commitment to reduce the maternal mortality in the country. In 1998 a first nation-wide Safe Motherhood needs asssesment3 was done, which was followed in the same year by a systematic review of the causes of 90 maternal deaths4. Following this dynamism within the ministry of health, a national strategy to reduce the maternal morbidity and mortality and neonatal mortality was formulated in 1999 and adopted in 2000, the document was launched as the: " …Estrategias para a redução da morbimortalidade materna e neonatal." This document 5forms the basis for formulating interventions to reduce maternal mortality in Mozambique. It is based on strengthening the health services with the concept of the provision of obstetric care ( basic and comprehensive) with an adequate referral system, community involvement and an improved data collection system.
