PA00TFTH.Pdf Executive Summary Quarterly Progress Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the start of this quarter, the World Wide Fund for Nature – South Africa (WWF- SA) opened a new office in White River close to the border of the Kruger National Park and within the Khetha program area. A full complement of staff now works out of this office, guided by a draft Work - and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning plan. Program management systems are being developed to oversee work plan commitments, partnership activities and to direct the work of service providers and consultants. The Khetha Program was formally launched in Maputo, Mozambique, in cooperation with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), WWF Mozambique (WWF-MZ) and other partners, and a first formal partners meeting was held to discuss the Khetha work plan, to share the results of research reports, and to discuss the complexities of working on illegal wildlife trade (IWT) in South Africa and Mozambique. A number of the deliverables, guided by Fixed Award Agreements (FAAs), were completed as part of the inception phase. The purpose of these work packages was to increase Khetha’s knowledge about key aspects related to IWT – such as wildlife poisoning, mitigating IWT-related corruption and understanding the dynamics of IWT in the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA). The outputs of these research projects will help Khetha determine the baseline of key IWT-related indicators and to design evidence-based interventions. Six geographical focus areas were identified within the GLTFCA landscape. These will be Khetha’s focus areas for developing innovation nodes for testing community-based approaches to improve the relationship between communities and wildlife. However, Khetha also works beyond these geographical boundaries with partners to increase crime prevention, detection and prosecution. The work plan is being finalized early in the next quarter and interventions, as per the work plan, will be designed and implemented with partners in the landscape. 2 Table Of Contents Quarterly Progress Report TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

INTRODUCTION “Khetha” is a word associated with the Nguni languages of southern Africa, meaning “choose” or “choice” and spoken by Zulu and Shangaan people commonly located in eastern and northeastern South Africa and western Mozambique. The word “Khetha” reflects the program goal to offer communities surrounding protected areas an opportunity to choose to conserve wildlife whilst making informed choices to improve their livelihoods. Khetha is a five-year United States Agency for International Development (USAID) program, implemented by the World Wide Fund for Nature – South Africa (WWF-SA), aimed at halting the impacts of wildlife trafficking on key populations of flagship species in the South African and Mozambican landscape of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA). The goal of the program is to contribute to achieving positive growth rates in black and white rhino populations and maintain positive growth rates for elephants in the focal area by 2022. The overall goal of the project will be achieved through collaboration between WWF and partners towards the following objectives: 1. Support innovative partnerships and novel approaches within civil society, communities, private sector and government in at least four innovation nodes in GLTFCA to improve relationships between people and wildlife, by July 2022. 2. Support the implementation of critical wildlife trafficking policy frameworks for South Africa and Mozambique to increase crime prevention, detection, prosecution and collaboration, by July 2022. 3. Learn, collaborate and coordinate with influential institutions in the GLTFCA landscape to strengthen the collective response to wildlife trafficking, by July 2022. The project objectives contribute to the implementation of the United States National Strategy to Combat Wildlife Trafficking and complement further regional and bilateral programs managed by USAID and other United States Government agencies in southern Africa and ongoing responses by donors, governments, private sector and other organizations. 5 Background Quarterly Progress Report 2. BACKGROUND The Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region is facing an unprecedented increase in the poaching of elephants, rhinos and other wildlife for illegal financial gains. In response there is a growing international effort to combat wildlife crime and the associated threat that wildlife trafficking poses to realizing sustainable development objectives in many parts of the globe. Wildlife trafficking weakens the economic prosperity of many countries. It threatens their natural capital and undermines sustainable economic development, including development benefits derived from legal sustainable use and nature-based enterprises like tourism. Illegal wildlife trafficking and poaching thrives where governance is weak, corruption is high and poverty is prevalent. In these circumstances communities often lose control of their own systems of governance and are subjected to the rules and whims of criminal networks. Communities with a high reliance on natural resources are often exposed to security threats and the destruction of their livelihoods. With limited access to employment or other means of income, along with an often conflictual relationship with wildlife, community members - especially young men - become involved in illegal wildlife trafficking. Furthermore in this landscape, the long-term relationship between communities and adjacent protected areas and conservation agencies is complex due to historical, social and political factors, including the displacement of communities from protected areas, which remain largely unacknowledged1. The majority of significant and important populations of elephants remain in southern Africa, including approximately 35,000 within the (GLTFCA). South Africa, in particular the Kruger National Park, is also home to the majority of the world’s remaining rhinoceros populations. Khetha supports USAID’s aim to combat wildlife trafficking in the transboundary area of South Africa and Mozambique, located within the borders of the GLTFCA. 2.1 WHERE WE WORK Fundamentally, the Khetha Program is grounded within the Kruger National Park (KNP) and the Limpopo National Park (LNP), home to globally significant rhino and elephant populations. The Program’s work under Objective 1 is focused in innovation nodes located around the protected areas as detailed below (Figure 1). Khetha recognizes that illegal wildlife trade is driven by transnational organized syndicates and that the product should be followed from the source to the market. Thus,

  • Adaptive Governance for a Changing Climate: Government, Communities
    ACCRA CASE STUDY JUNE 2017 ADAPTIVE GOVERNANCE FOR A CHANGING CLIMATE Government, communities and others working collaboratively in Mozambique to transform climate adaptation planning systems Community members validating their local adaptation plan with district government officials and ACCRA team in Guija district, Mozambique. Photo: Thomas White In Mozambique, climate change has been increasing the vulnerability of rural and urban communities. Droughts, floods and cyclones are more frequent and severe, and sea- levels continue to rise – and the situation is likely to worsen. This has undermined the government’s efforts to achieve its goal of reducing extreme poverty. The approval of the new National Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy (ENAMMC) in 2012 presented an important opportunity for ACCRA to advise the Government of Mozambique and ultimately to effect systemic and institutional change in planning for climate change adaptation. ACCRA also supported MITADER, which is responsible for operationalizing the strategy, with tools, resources and advice on processes. This story of change was developed following an external evaluation of ACCRA’s work in Mozambique, through a series of interviews and a learning history workshop held in October 2016 in Maputo.

INTRODUCTION In many countries water has been historically considered a “free” resource of unlimited supply that is managed by the state. Users did not pay for the true cost of supplying water and often paid only for a proportion of the cost of transferring, treating and disposing of water i.e. its use was heavily subsidised, (Calder,1999:57). Recent reform of the water services sector in both the North and South has been strongly influenced by neo-liberal views, which have radically altered the provision of water services. The new guiding principles for water services management recognise water as an economic good that should be priced to reflect its true cost because water subsidies distort the market and do not encourage efficient use of water, an important consideration in water scarce countries. It is argued that whilst subsidising infrastructure development and water in many countries was seen as a ‘pro-poor’ policy it was actually anything but, because it was largely the middle classes that benefited.

  • Brazil and China in Mozambican Agriculture

This article provides an account of the policies, narratives, operational modalities and underlying motivations of Brazilian and Chinese development cooperation in Mozambique. It is particularly interested in understanding how the engagements are perceived and talked about, what drives them and what formal and informal relations are emerging at the level of particular exchanges. The article draws on three cases (1) ProSavana, Brazil’s current flagship programme in Mozambique, which aims to transform the country’s savanna, spreading along the Nacala corridor, drawing on Brazil’s own experience in the Cerrado; (2) the Chinese Agricultural Technology Demonstration Centre (ATDC); and (3) a private Chinese rice investment project in the Xai-Xai irrigation scheme, which builds on a technical cooperation initiative. Commonalities and differences between the Brazilian and Chinese approaches are discussed. 1 Introduction Rosário (2012) emphasises instead the political Since Mozambique’s independence in 1975, motivations underlying agricultural governance, official policy discourse has unremittingly arguing that private interests and electoral represented agriculture as the backbone of the objectives have been key drivers of policy economy.

  • Assessment of Soil Loss to Vulnerability in the Boane District in Mozambique
    DOI: 10.14393/SN-v32-2020-46916 Received: 06 February 2019|Accepted: 06 February 2020 Assessment of soil loss to vulnerability in the Boane District in Mozambique Euclides Délio Matule1 Lucrêncio Silvestre Macarringue1,2 Keywords Abstract Boane The soil lost vulnerability study of the landscape units constitutes one of the Stability mechanisms for the design of sustainable land use and cover and natural Geoprocessing resources. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the soil loss vulnerability Soil Loss in the Boane district in 2018. The materials used included OLI Landsat 8 and ASTER GDTM V2 images, through which we generated land use and cover and slope maps respectively, soils, lithology, and precipitation databases available in CENACARTA. This data was processed in a GIS environment. The results showed that 53.3% of the district had median stability, 34.7% moderately vulnerable, 11.4% moderately stable, 0.6% stable and 0% vulnerable. These results indicate a favorable situation, but not comfortable at the short term, due to the accelerated rhythm of urbanization and its consequences to the environment that is seen in the last decades, joined to the lack or non- implementation of the main planning plans, that can change this situation in short term. 1Instituto de Formação em Administração de Terras e Cartografia, Matola, Moçambique.
