World Wildlife Fund EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Government of Mozambique has requested World Bank financing for the Sustainable Irrigation development in Sofala and Manica Provinces (PROIRRI). Overall responsibility for the PROIRRI will lie with the National Directorate for Agrarian Services (DNSA) of the Ministry of Agriculture (MINAG). The project will be implemented over a six-year period across five districts (Caia, Marromeu, Gorongosa, Nhamatanda and Buzi) in Sofala Province and five Districts (Gondola, Chimoio, Sussundenga, Barue and Manica) in Manica Province. There is also a possibility that PROIRRI will include Zambézia Province. Even though the districts were not selected yet, it will be based on the Zambezi River basin. The aim of the project is to increase the incomes of smallholder farmers within the project area through rehabilitation, improvement or construction of new irrigation schemes and promotion of demand-driven agriculture as well as partnerships among smallholder farmers and private companies. In accordance with the World Bank Policy (OP 4.01 –Environmental Management) and the Mozambican legislation (Decree 45/2004) the project is a Category B and an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) has been prepared (this document). The objectives of the ESMF are to: • Establish clear procedures and methodologies for the environmental and social assessment, review, approval and implementation of investments to be financed under PROIRRI; • Specify appropriate roles and responsibilities, and outline the necessary reporting procedures, for managing and monitoring environmental and social concerns related to project investments; • Determine the training, capacity building and technical assistance needed to successfully implement the provisions of the ESMF; • To establish the project funding required to implement the ESMF requirements; and • Provide practical information resources for implementing the ESMF. Project description PROIRRI Sustainable Irrigation Development Project is a Sector Investment Loan (SIL) comprising an IDA Credit of US$50 million. PROIRRI development objective is to enhance agricultural productivity and profitability of smallholders farms in targeted new or improved irrigation schemes along the Beira Corridor. It comprises four components: Component 1 : Institutional Support and Capacity Development Component 2 : Investing in People and Infrastructure for Sustainable Irrigation Component 3 : Market-led Production and Value Chain Development. Component 4 : Project Coordination. Component 2 raises the principal safeguards issues associated with the project, and is thus the ESMF focus specifically on this component. Under component 2 four potential interventions are envisaged: medium-scale Rice-based Irrigation Schemes, Upland irrigation systems, Flatland irrigation systems and Smallholders’ engagement in outgrowers schemes. Under PROIRRI the types of sub-projects that may be financed include: Construction of small dams or weirs, Rehabilitation and/or construction of small- scale irrigation and drainage systems, Rehabilitation and/or construction of medium-scale irrigation and drainage schemes, Rehabilitation of access roads, Rehabilitation and/or establishment of infrastructures for i electricity pumps, Cultivation on medium to high slopes using appropriate techniques, Construction of small Agro-processing facilities, Increased area of rice production and increased area of sugar cane production. PROIRRI Targeted Area There are two distinct climatic seasons in the project’s area: a hot rainy season from December to March and a cooler drier season from April to November (however rainfall is recorded
