We are on the ground in 166 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners.

Since 2007 UNDP's support for Mozambique has come Particularly important, in Mozambique as in all countries within the context of UN reform, specifically the struggling to combat poverty is the role of women. The Delivering as One (DaO) initiative of which Mozambique law against domestic violence, which was passed into is a pilot.

The North of the country is now mine free, and there is strong reason to hope that the same will be said of the centre and south of the country by 2014. This is a singular achievement, almost without parallel in post Cold War history. In addition to UNDP's achievements through its progra- mmatic support, last year saw also UNDP improving its operational performance and playing an important role with other agencies is realizing greater efficiencies by harmonizing and, wherever possible, joining, UN agencies' operational processes. For example, UNDP has been a leader in implementing the UN's Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfer, which greatly streamlines the way in which UN agencies provide financial inputs to the government's programmes. Also in 2009, UNDP took a major role in the creation of a One UN ICT platform, creating a virtual One Office. These are just two of the operational aspects of the UN's Delivering as One reform on the operational side of which UNDP is, of course, a central player. These will be described at greater length in the Delivering as One Annual Report. Within its own offices, demand on its operational services has increased exponentially, as the increase in procurement volume described in these pages suggests.

Current estimated food security Mozambique, and 520,000 poor to very poor persons cannot meet their conditions, fourth quarter (Nov-Dec 2007) food needs without external assistance, and will need continuous humanitarian assistance through March 2008. The World Food Program (WFP) will assist more than 470,000 persons through December 2007 but could face a pipeline break thereafter if the food security conditions worsen or critical events like flooding and high winds associated with tropical depressions, storms or cyclones increase the level of need. The normal rains have marked the onset of the rainy and agriculture season in much of the southern and central regions. Although a positive rainy season is forecast, farmers are in urgent need of seeds for planting, particularly in areas of the south affected by drought last season where seed shortages are widespread. Above normal rains occurred in much of northern Mozambique, although these were off season rains for region, as effective rains are not normally established until late November/early December. As the season progresses and heavy rains fall, localized inundations may occur in rivers basin where already highly saturated soils may increase the rate at which water levels rise.

  • Inhambane Province – Panda, Mabote and Lagoa Poelela, Jan-Feb 2019
    J. Osborne, C. Langa, C. Datizua & I. Darbyshire. April 2019 Mozambique TIPAs Fieldwork Report: Inhambane Province – Panda, Mabote and Lagoa Poelela, Jan-Feb 2019 J. Osborne, C. Langa, C. Datizua & I. Darbyshire Inhambane Province in southern Mozambique supports significant areas of a range of natural habitats and a wealth of biodiversity. It is also a well-known tourist destination and an important area for production of cashew and coconut crops. Over 50 of Mozambique’s endemic plant taxa occur in Inhambane as well as a similar number of regional near-endemics. The province has three protected areas, coastal Pomene Game Reserve and Bazaruto National Park and inland Zinave National Park bordering Manica Province. However, across most of the Province, areas of forest and natural vegetation are under pressure from timber extraction, urban development, cattle and agricultural expansion and are not protected by legislation. As with much of Mozambique, Inhambane province is relatively under-recorded botanically. Previously most botanical exploration has been concentrated in coastal habitats, though even some of the coastal areas in Inhambane are little known botanically. In this fieldwork we have focussed on three districts in Inhambane, Panda (Panda-sede and Mawayela local post), Mabote (Mabote local post), and Inharrime (in Inharrime-Sede local post). We identified areas of potential botanical interest, targeting patches of natural vegetation identified from Google Earth imagery with the aim of (i) documenting the vegetation, (ii) gathering distribution data for a target list of nationally endemic, regionally endemic and threatened plants, (iii) assessing land-use, protection and threats and(iv) identifying potential Important Plant Areas (IPAs).
