  • 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.

    Famine Early Warning 28 August 2002 Systems Network Highlights • A rapid emergency food needs assessment was conducted from 22 July to 11 August 2002 by teams from WFP, FEWS NET, the Ministry of Agriculture (MADER) and the National Institute of Disaster Management (INGC). Final results of the assessment will be released by the end of August, but preliminary analysis shows a slight increase in the total number of people requiring food aid. • Overall, the number of people needing emergency assistance is expected to drop in Manica, Tete, Inhambane and Gaza, while estimated needs may increase in Sofala and Zambezia with the inclusion of several new districts. • In Nampula Province, the team found no general need for food assistance in the coastal districts despite the effects of cassava disease. Cassava is the main staple food in the region and production has been greatly reduced, but households have other food and income sources (including fishing) that are adequate to meet their minimum food and non-food needs. Urgent action is necessary to multiply and transport disease- resistant varieties to farmers. • Retail maize prices fell slightly in the middle of August in Maputo, due to an increase in supply from various domestic markets. Prices in Beira continued to rise gradually. Prices are higher than normal for this time of year, and they are expected to continue to rise as the year progresses. The rate and extent of the rise will be key determinants of food security in the coming months. • The probability of El Niño has risen to more than 95%, making it virtually certain that El Niño conditions will persist through the remainder of 2002 and into early 2003.
