Final Report Single Form 2017/00057/FR/01/01 REFERENCES HIP/Decision Reference ECHO/-SF/BUD/2017/91000 Agreement number: ECHO/-SF/BUD/2017/91014 Action type Non-emergency action Document type Final report Submission date 28/02/2019 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 Humanitarian organisation CARE-AT 1.2 Title of the action System strengthening for disaster preparedness in Mozambique (Fortalecimento do sistema de preparação para catástrofes em Moçambique) 1.3 Narrative summary of the action This 18-month action by COSACA consortium (comprised of Concern, Oxfam, Save the Children and CARE) is led by CARE and jointly implemented with Save the Children while CONCERN and Oxfam are on standby for emergency response if the crisis modifier is triggered. The proposed action is designed to deliver systems strengthening activities in Mozambique to enable well-targeted preparedness and emergency response actions whilst also supporting local communities to effectively use Early Warning messages, mitigate risks and prepare in advance for an effective response to disaster. Specific attention has been placed on including Women and Children in these efforts. The proposed action is designed to deliver improvements to existing systems and processes for: (a) effectively and quickly sharing Early Warning Information with impact populations prior to a flood, cyclone or other rapid onset emergency; (b) enabling communities to identify, prepare for, and respond to risks and disasters; (c) preparing in a more coordinated, synchronized and efficient manner for emergency response actions by the humanitarian community through preparing the way to create and adopt a common system for beneficiary identification, registration and targeting; and (d) switching to delivery of a rapid response in event of a crisis. The action will work on multiple levels. It will work at national level with Red Cross, INGC and INAS to deliver the improvements to Early Warning System (EWS) and Beneficiary Registration; link local to national levels by collecting data for the DataWinners SIGIC EWS; and deliver local-level implementation with at-risk communities in three provinces which were chosen based on available data regarding the significance, prevalence and impact of hazards such as floods and cyclones, as well as local information received from staff, INGC and government about areas requiring specific attention. 1.3.1 [INT] Narrative summary of the action This reporting period has seen significant progress under all four results. The project is on track to Page 1 This reporting period has seen significant progress under all four results. The project is on track to register more than the planned number of people on the Early Warning System database (including people in Guvuro district of Inhambane) and in Gaza, Save the Children has engaged and trained committees in 60 communities as opposed to the planned 20. The projects reach is significantly higher than initially planned. For Result 3, despite some initial delays in start up, good progress has been made in advocacy activities. This project has joined forces with other projects within COSACA that share the same objective (funded by DFID) and has also coordinated and contributed to wider efforts within the Food Security Cluster's Cash Working Group (including WFP and World Vision) and has played a leading role in establishing a Technical Working Group on cash transfers led by INGC itself. INGC shows real interest and enthusiasm for advancing the discussion and ultimate utilisation of cash in emergency programming in Mozambique. For Result 4, COSACA played a leading role in responding to supporting the Mozambican governments immediate response plans to tropical storms that hit Nampula province in January 2018. CARE also conducted its own assessments of the impact with the view to generating funding for a response. While ultimately unsuccessful in securing funding for a more substantial response, COSACA was able to provide technical and logistical support to the Government to ensure that immediate needs of affected communities were met. 1.3.2 [FIN] Narrative summary of the action As a result of this action implemented by CARE and Save the Children, approximately 6% of the population (47,956) of the target areas directly and 11% indirectly (125,442) reduced their vulnerability to shocks across three provinces. The contact details of 5,132 people were registered on the Government of Mozambique's Early Warning System and capacity building trainings (including simulations) for community members and government staff were provided to facilitate the effective roll out of the system. As a consequence, focal points from the most vulnerable communities (more than 90) in seven districts were linked to the government of Mozambique's early warning system. Trainings facilitated by the action were also provided to 90 local disaster management committees (CLGRCs, see Annex 1) to improve community preparedness and early action and response readiness. These trainings included (among other themes) developing contingency plans and First Aid training. 26 CLGRCs were also equipped with ready-made emergency preparedness kits in Nampula and Gaza province. 60 schools in Gaza province also benefited from education and related capacity building support on key DRR messaging. In total, 60,059 people directly benefited from these capacity building efforts. Under other results of the Action, there has been impressive progress on advocating the Mozambican Government to accept Multi Purpose Cash Transfers to be used as a response tool for emergency response. The Government's INGC has bought into the concept and their position on the use of cash in emergencies will be presented to the Council of Ministers for approval in early 2019. The Crisis Modifier was deployed in January 2018 in Nampula province to support Government response efforts to widespread flooding as a result of a tropical depression. CARE also led in assessments on the impact of the flooding of school infrastructure. 1.4 Area of intervention World area Country Region Location Africa MOZAMBIQUE National Country-wide Africa MOZAMBIQUE Provincial Gaza (Guija, Chibuto and Chokwe districts) Africa MOZAMBIQUE Provincial Nampula (Angoche, Mogincual and Larde [previously part of Moma] districts) Africa MOZAMBIQUE Provincial Inhambane 1.4.1 [INT] Area of intervention The initial design of this project included activities to be implemented by Save the Children in three districts in Gaza province and by CARE in three districts in Nampula province and additional activities in Inhambane province. However, due to funding limitations, project staff for Inhambane were removed from the final proposal and activities by CARE were limited to Nampula province. Despite these limitations, CARE has committed to working in a reduced capacity in Inhambane province. Specifically CARE is working to link existing CLGRCs in Inhambane to the the Government of Mozambique's Early Warning System. CARE is targeting the district of Guvuro to be included in this process as, according to recent Food Security Cluster analysis and CARE's own Emergency Preparedness Plan, it is identified as the most high risk district in Inhambane province, being exposed to cyclones, floods and droughts. 1.4.2 [FIN] Area of intervention NA 1.5 Timeframe of the action (at MR stage - including suspension periods) Page 2 Start date of the action 01/06/2017 Duration of the action in months (max. 60) 18 Duration of the action in days - Start date for eligibility of expenditure 01/06/2017 Justify the duration of the eligibility period before the start date - 2. HUMANITARIAN ORGANISATION IN THE AREA OF INTERVENTION 2.1 Presence in the area COSACA is a consortium of 4 international NGOs (Concern, Oxfam, Save the Children, and CARE) who have been working together in Mozambique for co-ordinated emergency preparedness and response since 2007. Collectively, COSACA's members have individual organizational presence in Zambezia, Gaza, Manica, Inhambane, Nampula, Sofala, Cabo Delgado, and Tete Provinces with joint programming in the first five of these and shared logistics capacity in Maputo city (co-ordinated with WFP). The consortium works to improve effectiveness and efficiency of emergency preparedness and response activities through co-ordination and pooling of expertise, knowledge and resources in terms of equipment, human capital, and information. For this action CARE is the lead applicant and will implement the activities proposed to be delivered at national level jointly with Save the Children. Oxfam and CONCERN remain potential emergency response partners in the event of a rapid onset emergency (i.e. under the Crisis Modifier). The consortium's rapid emergency response deployment capacity will therefore be made available for this project across Mozambique via all four organizations. 2.2 Synergies with other actions COSACA is communicating and planning collaboration for synergy and coordination with other applicants to ECHO HIP 2017: Cruz Vermelha Mozambique / Spanish Red Cross (CVM/SRC), WorldVision and UN Habitat. In the case of Red Cross, the COSACA consortium has had joint design discussions for the current action with Red Cross to ensure cross-fertilization between this proposed action and work that Red Cross is proposing. This relates particularly to the plans for strengthening the Mozambique Early Warning System (EWS) managed by INGC (using the DataWinners software) as well as to our planned joint influencing of INGC and other parts of government (e.g. INAS) to

  • Angoche: an Important Link of the Zambezian Gold Trade Introduction
    Angoche: An important link of the Zambezian gold trade CHRISTIAN ISENDAHL ‘Of the Moors of Angoya, they are as they were: they ruin the whole trade of Sofala.‘ Excerpt from a letter from Duarte de Lemos to the King of Portugal, dated the 30th of September, 1508 (Theal 1964, Vol. I, p. 73). Introduction During the last decade or so a significant amount of archaeological research has been devoted to the study of early urbanism along the east African coast. In much, this recent work has depended quite clearly upon the ground-breaking fieldwork conducted by James Kirkman and Neville Chittick in Kenya and Tanzania during the 1950´s and 1960´s. Notwithstanding the inevitable and, at times, fairly apparent shortcomings of their work and their basic theoretical explanatory frameworks, it has provided a platform for further detailed studies and rendered a wide flora of approaches to the interpretation of the source materials in recent studies. In Mozambique, however, recent archaeological research has not benefited from such a relatively strong national tradition of research attention. The numerous early coastal settlements lining the maritime boundaries of the nation have, in a very limited number, been the target of specialized archaeological fieldwork and analysis only for two decades. The most important consequence has been that research directed towards thematically formulated archaeological questions has had to await the gathering of basic information through field surveys and recording of existing sites as well as the construction and perpetual analysis and refinement of basic chronostratigraphic sequences. Furthermore, the lack of funding, equipment and personnel – coupled with the geographical preferentials of those actually active – has resulted in a yet quite fragmented archaeological database of early urbanism in the country.

  • Implementation Strategies to Increase Access and Demand of Long-Lasting
    Arroz et al. Malar J (2017) 16:429 DOI 10.1186/s12936-017-2086-3 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Implementation strategies to increase access and demand of long‑lasting insecticidal nets: a before‑and‑after study and scale‑up process in Mozambique Jorge A. H. Arroz1*, Chandana Mendis1, Liliana Pinto1, Baltazar Candrinho2, João Pinto3 and Maria do Rosário O. Martins3 Abstract Background: The universal coverage bed nets campaign is a proven health intervention promoting increased access, ownership, and use of bed nets to reduce malaria burden. This article describes the intervention and imple- mentation strategies that Mozambique carried out recently in order to improve access and increase demand for long- lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). Methods: A before-and-after study with a control group was used during Stage I of the implementation process. The following strategies were tested in Stage I: (1) use of coupons during household registration; (2) use of stickers to identify the registered households; (3) new LLIN ascription formula (one LLIN for every two people). In Stage II, the following additional strategies were implemented: (4) mapping and micro-planning; (5) training; and (6) supervision. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confdence interval (CI) were used to compare and establish diferences between intervened and control districts in Stage I. Main outcomes were: percentage of LLINs distributed, percentage of target house- holds benefted. Results: In Stage I, 87.8% (302,648) of planned LLINs were distributed in the intervention districts compared to 77.1% (219,613) in the control districts [OR: 2.14 (95% CI 2.11–2.16)].

  • From Hunger to Food Insecurity
    From hunger 13. to food insecurity: technocracy and sustainability Virgínia Henriques Calado 318 the diverse worlds of sustainability introduction This paper is an anthropological contribution to a theoretical, conceptual, and methodological discussion of the concepts of food (in)security. The decision to focus on these concepts is related to their relationship with sustainability issues and also to the fact that they are of fundamental importance in the evaluation of the nutritional status and food situation of different individuals and populations. The fact that the notions of food (in)security are at present indispensable to conduct research on issues such as adequate food, satisfaction, or deprivation of food, also justifies the attention devoted to it in this text. Moreover, the circumstance that the concepts of food (in)security give rise to relevant studies, arguments, and narratives that are used by different actors (intergovernmental structures, governments, industry, farmers, popula­ tions…), for purposes not always convergent, is another reason to pay attention to this topic. Taking also into account that food (in)security assessments mostly produced by experts are at the origin of programmes and measures through which public policies are implemented, the attention to these concepts is justified even more. Key concepts in the construction of discourses on food scarcity, production, and quality, which are drawn up by the United Nations, states, and other actors, are appropriated by different entities and can be used in different ways. They may appear, for example, to support political positions about forms of agriculture that are mainly focused on the quantity of foods produced and on intensive and extensive forms of agricultural production than on the protection of small farmers.
