A REVIEW OF TEN YEARS ASSISTANCE TO THE MINE ACTION PROGRAMME IN MOZAMBIQUE Geneva, October 2005 Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining Centre International de Déminage Humanitaire - Genève A Review of Mine Action in Mozambique October 2005 A Review of Mine Action in Mozambique October 2005 Preface The Review Team wishes to thank the many people who shared their time and thoughts with us, helping to make the mission to Mozambique a success and leading directly to many of the findings contained in this report. Appendix 2 contains a list of the many people we met in conducting this review, and neither space nor energy allow a full acknowledgement of each one’s contributions. We do need, however, to note the pivotal roles played by Marylène Spezzati, the UNDP Resident Representative in Maputo, and Gana Fofang, the Deputy Resident Representative, who foresaw the need for a Review and then made it happen, and by Gamiliel Munguambe, Director of the National Demining Institute (IND), for his support of the Review which allowed the Team such good access to the information and people in IND and, more widely, within the mine action community. We also need to acknowledge those individuals who invested many hours in arranging appointments, flights, accommodation, and the myriad other details on which the success of a mission depends: Maria Isabel dos Santos and Benjamin Sitoe of IND; and Alberto Alface, and Clarisse Nhabangue of UNDP-Maputo. Graeme Abernethy, the Technical Adviser for Operations at IND at the time of the mission, deserves special mention for assistance beyond the call of duty, Terms of Reference, or – in some cases – a decent night’s sleep. In preparing this final report, the Review Team also benefited from many comments received from IND, UNDP, donors, and operators. Special thanks is due to Archie Law, the UNDP Regional Mine Action Adviser for Africa, both for his own comments and for compiling those of others. Finally, we must stress that the findings, conclusions, lessons learned, and recommendations contained in this report represent the views of the Review Team. UNOPS, UNDP, and the Government of Mozambique are not responsible for the content of this report or bound by its recommendations.

  • 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.

    PREFACE Since the end of the civil war, Mozambique has seen a high growth rate of 7% to 8% annually. On the other hand, GDP per capita is still at a low level among developing countries. The government announced the importance it places on economic development to achieve poverty alleviation and to resolve the development gap between southern and northern regions of the country in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PARPA II). In the meantime, as neighboring countries depend on Mozambique for access to the ocean, it is placed in quite an important position geographically. Natural resources have great potential for development, and several big investments have been introduced in this field. From the viewpoint of domestic industries, there exists much potential in agriculture, tourism, and other sectors. Despite the potential, however, industries—especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which will be the driving force of the economy in the long term—have faced constraints, such as in terms of management skills, finance, and human resources. In line with these conditions, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) planned and conducted this study in order to consider future cooperation in economic development. It would be gratifying if the results of this study are utilized effectively to produce a concrete understanding of potential cooperative ventures.
