The project is also generating verified emission reductions (VERs)1. A pilot to the project was initiated in 2002 with a group of 53 farmers in the wards of Nhambita and Munhanganha. This was followed by a research and development phase which was funded partly by the EU (contract B7/6200/2002/063-241/MZ) between August 2003 to August 2008. Since September 2008, the project has been financed primarily by carbon sales and investment from Envirotrade Carbon Limited (ECL). The project is managed by the local subsidiary Envirotrade Mozambique Limitada (EML). The project is a flag-ship Plan Vivo project and has been operating under the Plan Vivo Standard since its inception. The project is working in two sites, Gorongosa and Zambezi Delta. Both sites include a large number of rural smallholders, and promotes the adoption of sustainable land use management. Individual smallholders can choose to adopt mitigation activities from a menu of 9 different land use systems (seven agro-forestry, one agricultural and one forestry). Each of these systems is defined by a Technical Specifications that provides all relevant information for implementation (i.e. establishment, management, site requirements and carbon sequestration potential). For each system that a producer decides to adopt, a contract is established between him or her and the project developer which includes a carbon calculator derived from the technical specification. The project developer provides guidance on how to adopt the system and monitors implementation thereby providing a basis for carbon payments. Annually the monitoring results must be submitted in a report to the Plan Vivo which is displayed on their website. After the report is approved, credits are issued to the buyers and retired on the public Markit Registry. The agro-forestry and agricultural systems have been widely adopted. There are 3,968 contracts signed by 1,422 farmers in the Gorongosa site. In the Zambezi Delta there are 413 famers who have signed 605 contracts. In total, 1,835 farmers have signed 4573 contracts. In addition, the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) system has been adopted on 9,599 ha in the Gorongosa site . The project now intends to validate its voluntary emission reductions (VERs) according to the CCB Standard and validate and verify against the Plan Vivo standards. Both standards include criteria for additional community and biodiversity benefits. From 2002-2009 the project has already produced a total of 1,111,576 tCO2e VERs which may be sold ex ante. Of these, a total of 201,719 tCO2e have already been sold. The balance of 909,857 tCO2e, which are held in stock by the project developer, and all new VERs generated after the project was registered as a Plan Vivo in February 2007, are subject to the CCBA validation, all credits are subject to Plan Vivo validation and verification. This Project Design Document (PDD) provides all information required for the Sofala Community Carbon Project to be validated against the Climate, Community & Biodiversity Project Design Standards (CCB Standards) of The Climate, Community & Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA) and the Plan Vivo Standards. The PDD complies with the criteria and indicators of the 2nd Edition of the CCB Standards (version December 2008) and Plan Vivo Standards version 2 (in force from 6th October 2008). 1 Based on its successful experiences, one further project has been prepared in 2007 in the buffer zone of the Quirimbas National Park (the Quirimba Project) by project developer Envirotrade Carbon Limited. The project described in the present document however only refers to the projects developed at the Gorongosa National Park and Marromeu Reserve.

Dhlakama broke off his tour of the north yesterday to fly to Maputo. Initially he said he would only meet Nyusi if the Mozambican President accepted all of his demands in advance, then he said he would only meet Nyusi if he came to Cabo Delgado. Now he is in Maputo, but the meeting is in a hotel and not a government building, which will be seen as a neutral venue. Thursday deadline to take parliament seats Renamo continues to boycott national and provincial parliaments. A group of Renamo members elected to the parliaments met with Renamo president Afonso Dhlakama on Sunday 1 February asking to take their seats, but Dhlakama maintained the hard line and said "anyone who takes their seats would be insulting not Dhlakama, not Renamo, but the thousands of Mozambicans who voted for fair elections”. (MediaFax, 2 Feb) He argues that the elections were fraudulent and that he won the 2014 election, just as he says he won the four previous elections. The MPs should not take seats in what he sees as fraudulent parliaments.

Box FM730, Famona, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Vegetation Survey of Mt Gorongosa, page 2 SUMMARY Mount Gorongosa is a large inselberg almost 700 sq. km in extent in central Mozambique. With a vertical relief of between 900 and 1400 m above the surrounding plain, the highest point is at 1863 m. The mountain consists of a Lower Zone (mainly below 1100 m altitude) containing settlements and over which the natural vegetation cover has been strongly modified by people, and an Upper Zone in which much of the natural vegetation is still well preserved. Both zones are very important to the hydrology of surrounding areas. Immediately adjacent to the mountain lies Gorongosa National Park, one of Mozambique's main conservation areas. A key issue in recent years has been whether and how to incorporate the upper parts of Mount Gorongosa above 700 m altitude into the existing National Park, which is primarily lowland. [These areas were eventually incorporated into the National Park in 2010.] In recent years the unique biodiversity and scenic beauty of Mount Gorongosa have come under severe threat from the destruction of natural vegetation. This is particularly acute as regards moist evergreen forest, the loss of which has accelerated to alarming proportions.

  • 023 Annex Csp Mozambique.Pdf
    SUMMARY The Union policy in the sphere of development cooperation complements the policies followed by the Member States and fosters the sustainable economic and social development of the developing countries, their smooth and gradual integration into the world economy and the campaign against poverty. Furthermore, Community policy in this area contributes to the general objectives of development, consolidating democracy and the rule of law and respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms. The strategy chosen for EDF cooperation in Mozambique is to help to achieve the twofold objectives of PARPA II, i.e. to decrease the incidence of poverty from 54% in 2003 to 45% in 2009 and to promote fast, sustainable and broad-based growth. Substantial progress has been achieved in Mozambique, with real GDP growth averaging 8% per year over the period 1995-2005 and the proportion of the population living in absolute poverty falling from 69% in 1996/97 to 54% in 2002/03. However, in order to maintain the high growth rates needed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and to expand and improve the quality of public services, continued reforms are needed to promote democratic governance, revitalise the public sector and improve the business environment. Against this background, the response strategy has been designed in the light of the experience of the ongoing EC cooperation, the need for large-scale action in certain areas, the policy framework in place and the complementarity with other donors and other EC instruments. The proposed strategy recommends that 46% to 50% of the A envelope (€622 million of programmable resources) should be allocated to support the reform programme in order to maintain macroeconomic stability, while allowing the pattern of public expenditure needed to ensure progress towards the Millennium Development Goals.
