EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides a summary of PCBG Program’s activities implemented in the second quarter of the 2019 fiscal year (FY19). The PCBG Program continues to support its partners to effectively engage policymakers, mobilize citizens’ voices to inform key legislative frameworks, and improve policy processes. This quarter PCBG partners made progress using evidence-based approaches to affect policies and ensure government accountability; most notably in the education, extractive industries, biodiversity, and health sectors. PCBG helped partners strengthen their organizational capacity, developing new skills in finance, advocacy, communication, and monitoring and evaluation. Additionally, this quarter the PCBG Program prepared to implement phase two of the election component aimed at monitoring peaceful and inclusive general elections in 2019.

Some key policy engagement activities with our partners this quarter included:

• PCBG partner, Associação Moçambicana para o Desenvolvimento Concertado (AMDEC), presented an evidence-based position statement to the Ministry of Education and Human Development (MINEDH) National Directorate of Primary Education on the role of the School Council and how it contributes to the transparent and responsible management of primary schools. • PCBG partner Associação Nacional De Extensão Rural (AENA) organized field visits for parliamentarians to project sites in Nampula and Cabo Delgado, where they engaged with project implementers and community members on the implementation Circular 1/MPD-MF/2013. This regulation governs how public resources are allocated to communities where extractive industries are operating. AENA also organized two round-tables to discuss the findings from the parliamentarians visits and recommendations on the implementation of the Circular regulation. • This quarter, PCBG partner BIOFUND held three sector meetings with relevant ministries, institutes and government bodies in order to advocate for approval and adoption of biodiversity offsets. These meetings resulted in development and acceptance of an updated version of the guidelines for biodiversity offsets. • TV Surdo held meetings to present a situational report to the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Action and the National Commission on HIV and AIDS. The report highlights gaps in policies HIV/AIDS services for people with disabilities. • In Quarter 2, PCBG partner FRUTICAD trained 273 stakeholders in Cabo Delgado on climate change adaptation. The trainings were targeted to the respective audiences (community members, journalists, and local government technicians) and how their respective roles in responding and adapting to climate change. • Early in Quarter 2, CESC facilitated 11 radio debates in Nampula and Maputo where Citizen Manifestos were discussed publicly, and the respective municipalities were encouraged to incorporate citizens’ priorities in their 2019-2024 plans.

During this quarter, PCBG staff provided strong organizational capacity building to partners across sectors. PCBG organized a three-day workshop on finance and grant management for PCBG partner organizations aimed at helping partners’ internal controls and sustainability. PCBG also conducted mid- term participatory self-assessments with seven partners, comparing mid-term and baseline scores. All seven partners showed improvements in key areas, however they still need to consolidate and improve internal process and procedures, internal management practices, relationships with other partners, and financial sustainability and respective instruments; which will be the priority areas for capacity building in the coming quarters. In Q2, PCBG carried out a gender and social inclusion training for PNDH and FRUTICAD to equip participants with technical knowledge and skills that promote equality, gender and social inclusion in the organization's policies and practices. Additionally, PCBG provided training for ANDA, PNDH and FRUTICAD on effective communications strategies, and assisted five partners launch

This quarter, 39 staff of seven CSOs reported using new skills because of PCBG trainings and mentoring in advocacy, communication, finance, and monitoring and evaluation.

This quarter, in preparation for the general elections 2019, PCBG, in partnership with ORPHAD, PNDH, ANDA, and CEDES conducted transition activities leading up to the voter registration process. These activities included: establishing relationships and linkages with elections stakeholders (CSO’s and electoral bodies) in the seven provinces where Counterpart elections partners are working; identifying and training long-term electoral monitors(17 from Southern Region, 18 from Central Region and 30 from Northern Region) identifying, establishing and training 59 local response and reconciliation committees members from Nampula, Cabo Delgado, and Zambezia; and incorporating gender and social integration (GSI) in the organization plans and activities for PNDH. In Q2, PCBG issued an RFA for the Secretariat and received a proposal from a consortium of Associação Desenvolvimento e Sociedade (ADS) and Counterpart’s existing partner CEDES, with ADS as the prime on the award. Additionally, PCBG’s partner CEURBE completed and disseminated a qualitative study on violence against women in elections, entitled “Inaudibles – a study on Violence Against Women in the Elections (VAWIE): The Case of Mocuba and Chokwe Municipalities”.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 1.1 Project Overview

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded Counterpart International, Inc. (herein “Counterpart”) a Cooperative Agreement with the budget of $10,500,000 to implement the four- year program entitled “Parceria Cívica para Boa Governação” (PCBG) in Mozambique and issued an additional component of $1,325,000 to support peaceful and credible elections on July 31, 2017.

1.2 Project Framework

PCBG’s goal is to improve accountable and effective democratic governance in Mozambique. To this end, Counterpart is partnering with 17 Mozambican civil society organizations (CSOs) to advocate for reform in the target sectors of biodiversity conservation, climate change, education, extractive industry, health, transparent and accountable governance, and peaceful elections. The goal is supported by three interrelated objectives: ● Objective 1: More effective advocacy by partner CSOs by supporting the technical ability of partner CSOs to work on sectors of biodiversity conservation, climate change, education, extractive industry, health, and transparent and accountable governance. ● Objective 2: Strengthened organizational performance by partner CSOs through intensive and customized technical assistance, coaching/mentoring, and training for partner CSOs using a customized participatory organizational development assessment model. ● Objective 3: Facilitation of a credible, participatory and peaceful electoral process through long- term domestic electoral violence monitoring, conflict mitigation and advocacy activities throughout the election period of what may become the most contested election in Mozambique’s democratic history.

The program’s theory of change proposes that by improving the advocacy and organizational capacities of motivated, committed Mozambican partners, the CSOs will implement more effective advocacy strategies and engage in facilitating a credible, participatory, and peaceful electoral process. These reforms will support the longer-term strengthening of accountable, effective democratic governance in Mozambique in target sectors.

PROGRAM AND INDICATOR IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS 2. Implementation Progress

Objective 1: More effective advocacy by partner CSOs in target sectors

Indicator 02 (Output): Number of public policies introduced, adopted, repealed, changed or implemented consistent with citizen and/or civil society input

During FY19 Q2 PCBG and its partners implemented over 6 activities that resulted in changes and improvements to 3 public policies.

Improvement of General Regulation of Basic Education (REGEB)

On February 25, AMDEC presented an evidence-based position statement to the Ministry of Education and Human Development (MINEDH) National Directorate of Primary Education on the role of the School Council (CE Portuguese acronym) and how it contributes to the transparent and responsible management of primary schools.

The position statement is based on a study conducted in two districts and six schools of Namacurra and Mocuba, in Zambezia province. The study found that a CE with deliberative power that functioned between 2003 and 2015 had a greater impact than a CE with consultative power that started functioning in 2015 to date. The first CE was much more active in the school management and had a stronger level of engagement and support of community members.

AMDEC provided recommendations to improve the relevance and contribution of the CE in transparent and responsive primary school management. The recommendations are as follows: • Change the CE from a consultative to a deliberative organ at the school; • The CE should be created and/or revitalized by the Coordinators of Pedagogical Influences Zones (ZIP). For schools whose director is the coordinator of the ZIP, the process should be guided by other technical staff such as a technician from District Services of Education, Youth and technology, a MINEDH branch at local level; • The CE's creation or revitalization process should be accompanied by a training and a follow-up plan for all CE members; • To promote greater gender balance in the CE, there should be a minimum quota for both women and men and; • Failure to comply with these procedures to create or revitalize a CE should be punished.

MINEDH welcomed the recommendations and the position statement was published in Journal Noticias, on March 29, 2019. As a way forward, the issues discussed, and recommendations presented will be used by MINEDH to review, adjust and update REGEB, and more specifically Chapter 3, section 2, regarding the organization and functioning of schools and their CE. Although the review date has not yet been determined, AMDEC, will participate in the review process as they are part of MINEDH’s REGEB review committee.

Law No. 5/2017 of 11 May on protection, on conservation and sustainable use of biologic biodiversity

Ntumbuluku conducted three trainings to socialize local stakeholders about the law No. 5/2017.

Parceria Cívica para Boa Governação Program (PCBG) FY19 Q2: January 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019 Submitted to USAID/Mozambique

The first training was held on March 25-26 and targeted Members of the Vilanculos District Government, Directorate for the Sea, Inland Waters and Fisheries, and the Directorate for the Land, Environment and Rural Development. The training raised participants’ awareness about the Law No. 5/2017 and reaffirmed it as a critical policy instrument to protect local biodiversity, particularly for Vilanculos, a district with rich biodiversity and tourist potential but that is currently suffering a loss of biodiversity as a result of man- made and climate change impacts.

During the training, participants discussed approaches to biodiversity protection, conservation, and sustainable use of natural resources and adaptation to climate change. At the end, the trainees committed to carry out tasks for continuous protection of this critical resource for local resilience. They also recommended that the police of the Municipal Council of Vilanculos be included in the next training, given their protection and control mandate over the unsustainable use of environmental resources.

Ntumbuluku conducted a second training on March 28-29 for 40 participants from Mangalise (20 participants, 10 men and 10 women) and Chiboene (8 men and 12 women) committees, consisting of local community member including fishermen, community leader’s community, on the same topic.

The third training targeted 17 members of a civil society organization platform, the Vilanculos Platform for the Protection of Marine and Coastal Biodiversity. Participants included them 14 men and 3 women who were trained on Law No. 5/2017 and discussed approaches to improve protection and conservation of local biodiversity.

In all the training sessions there was a call for action. Participants requested the production of a summary and an illustrated guide of the Law No. of 5/2017 to inform the committees’ activities to sensitize communities’ members, including fishermen and the tourist sector to comply with the law.

Manning Law No. 20/2014 and Petroleum Law 21/2014 both of August 18, 2014

On March 26, KUWUKA Juventude Desenvolvimento e Advocacia Ambiental (KUWUKA JDA) delivered a training workshop for civil society leaders in Inhambane on Advocacy, Monitoring and Evaluation Tools in the context of the two laws mentioned above, both aimed at informing and guiding extractive resource exploitation projects.

The objective of the meeting was to strengthen the capacity of Inhambane Mining and Extractive Industries Thematic Group on Advocacy, Monitoring and Evaluation to: (i) monitor the implementation of projects in the context of exploitation of natural resources and (ii) empower civil society members with knowledge and tools to implement and promote evidence-based advocacy on Extractive Industry Governance process in Inhambane Province.

The workshop was organized in collaboration with the secretariat of the Forum of Civil Society Organizations of Inhambane Province (FOPROI). A total of 31 people attended the workshop including 25 men and 6 women, representing the CSOs from the districts of Inhassoro, Funhaloro, Govuro, Mabote, Jangamo and Inharrime, as well as members from the Thematic Group on Natural Resources and Mining (GTRNIE), based in Inhambane City.

Indicator 03 (Output) : Number of activities that contribute to government engagement with citizens

During this reporting period, PCBG and its CSO partners implemented eight activities which contributed to the engagement between government, civic organizations, and citizens as detailed below.

Visit to infrastructure projects funded with 2.75% of the extractive industry revenues

Through Circular No. 1 / MPD-MF / 2013, the state determines how the 2.75% of mining revenues earmarked for the sustainable development of communities are distributed. On January 21-22, AENA engaged Parliamentarians of the 5th Commission that deals with Agriculture, Economy and the Environment to monitor the implementation of the Circular and get beneficiary feedback on their satisfaction with the implementation of the Circular in Nampula and Cabo Delgado. Before heading to the field, the parliamentarians, met His Excellency Victor Borges (Governor of the Province of Nampula) and His Excellency Domingos Mabure (Permanent Secretary of Cabo Delgado). In both provinces these political meetings were complemented by technical meetings, which served to brief them about the field visit and the goal of Circular No. 1 / MPD-MF / 2013.

These technical meetings engaged the Provincial Directors of Economy and Finance, Mineral Resources and Energy, Land, Environment and Figure 1: Parliamentarians visiting a water source built with Rural Development, Agriculture and Food Security, revenues from extractive industry in Namanhumbir Primary School. Industry and Trade.

The parliamentarians visited projects in two sites in Larde (Nampula) and in Montepuez (Cabo Delgado). During the visit, they engaged with the project implementers and community members and found out that the infrastructure projects are not meeting the desired quality; the community involvement in the prioritization of projects is limited and they are not satisfied with those projects.

AENA organized two round-tables on January 23, one in Nampula and another in Pemba, to discuss the findings from the parliamentarians visit and recommendations on the use of Circular:

In Nampula, the round table was attended by provincial government directorates mentioned above and local CSOs working in the area of natural resources management, namely Solidariedade Moçambique (SOLDMOZ), and Associação Rural de Ajuda Mútua (ORAM).

In Pemba, Provincial Permanent Secretary, Domingos Mabure and representatives of the following CSOs, HELVETAS; Centro Terra Viva (CTV); Fórum Terra Cabo Delgado; Agência de Desenvolvimento Económico Local- Cabo Delgado (ADEL – CD), attended the round table. The round table discussions resulted in the following recommendations for provincial and district governments:

• Improve communication between the district government and the target community members; • The district government must communicate to the communities the corresponding value of 2.75% of the extractive industry revenue for each economic year, allocated to the district budget; • Avoid duplicating funding to the same projects in the same financial year. For instance, a project would receive funding directly from the mining industry under their Corporate Social

Parceria Cívica para Boa Governação Program (PCBG) FY19 Q2: January 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019 Submitted to USAID/Mozambique

Responsibility and also from the District Social and Economic Plans (PESOD), which comes from the 2.75% of the revenues from the extractive industries; • A sign should be placed on infrastructure projects in visible sites stating that the work is financed by the 2.75% funds; • The projects implemented with funding from the 2.75% should create and prioritize job opportunities for local community members; • The district government, in partnership with civil society organizations, should empower local advisory councils and the Natural Resource Management Committees to carry out their duties responsibly.

The round tables facilitated government engagement, participation and openness to dialogue. The recommendation from the parliamentarians made it clear that the government needs to collaborate with CSOs to monitor the implementation of projects in the field, report on how resources are being spent, and work together overall to advocate for improvement in the implementation of Circular No. 1 / MPD- MF / 2013 . This created an enabling environment for CSOs to establish a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with government sectors as described below.

Dialogue on transparency and accountability on the use of extractive sector revenues

KUWUKA JDA held a dialogue seminar between the government, civic organizations, and citizens on January 23 in Inhambane.

His Excellency Daniel Francisco Chapo, Governor of Inhambane Province, technical staff of the Provincial Directorate of Mineral Resources and Energy, and the Inhambane Civil Society Organizations Forum (FOPROI) attended the dialogue.

During the seminar several themes were presented and debated, with a focus on (i) governance of mineral resources and transparency; (ii) mining register versus the development process; (iii) environmental licensing process for extractive projects; (iv) licensing of extractive projects; (v) sub-transference mechanisms of revenues for local communities of the 2.75% mining revenue; and (iv) mechanisms for participation in decision making on the use of 2.75% mining revenue for development of local communities.

This dialogue has raised the need of the provincial government to improve the monitoring mechanisms of the projects funded by extractive industries revenues; improved networking and communication between the government and CSOs; and above all increased the openness and space for dialogue between the government and the CSOs.

Presentation of the Study on the Implementation of the Recommendations of the EITI Reports

KUWUKA JDA continued to engage local stakeholders. On February 7, they held a roundtable to present the results of the study titled “Recommendations of the Initiative on Transparency in the Extractive Industry (2011-2017)” to the members of the Coordination Committee of the Initiative on Transparency in the Extractive Industry of Mozambique (EITI-M). The event was attended by 18 participants (3 females and 15 males), of these, two were invited from the cooperation partners, namely PCBG and Oxfam.

Parceria Cívica para Boa Governação Program (PCBG) FY19 Q2: January 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019 Submitted to USAID/Mozambique

The round table, apart from sharing the study recommendations, served to (i) allow participants to familiarize themselves with the study and the respective recommendations and (ii) get inputs from the audience to validate the study.

Given the importance of the results of the study, the dialogue culminated with the recommendation that the EITI-M Committee coordinate future events to present the results of the study to relevant public institutions such as the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy (MIREME), Ministry of Land, Environment and Rural Development (MITADER), Ministry of Economy and Finance Figure 2: Group photo of EITI Coordination Committee (MEF), National Institute of Petroleum (INP), members during the presentation of KUWUKA JDA study National Mining Institute (INAMI), Chamber of Mines, Mozambican Association of Petroleum Operators (AMOP), and Parliament. The goal of these presentations is to advocate for institutional and public reforms in the governance of the extractive sector.

Citizen Manifestos and petitions debated in the radio and used to monitor municipal governance

CESC facilitated 11 radio debates (seven in Nampula, four in Maputo) from January 17-24. These discussions were aimed at motivating citizen participation and influencing municipal governance programs.

In Nampula, the radio debates helped citizens advocate to incorporate the following priority in the newly elected municipal government’s 2019-2024 plan:

• Hygiene in the municipal markets with a focus on the cleaning of the market with the participation of the municipality and leadership of the market leaders. This was aired by the Community Catholic Radio in Nampula.

Other Citizen Manifestos in Nampula discussed on the radio included concerns and priorities related to security, electricity and water supply, potholes in the city roads and heath assistance. As a result of these debates, the city authorities became more proactive in addressing citizens’ concerns. For example, the municipality began to repair potholes in the roads and streets of the city's neighborhoods, the Fund for Infrastructure and Water Supply (FIPAG) is extending and improving the drinking water covering the city neighborhoods (e.g. Murrapaniua and Marrere), the police are increasing and improving night patrols in the urban and peri-urban areas of the city (e.g. Muhivire), the electricity utility (EDM) is expanding the connections of pre-paid electricity supply systems to more areas, as well as adding more power poles to facilitate coverage expansion to the Cossore and Muatala neighborhoods.

CESC also held a community meeting in Nampula on January 22, in which 22 community members participated. Among the members a female representative from the committee of Primeiro de Maio Health Center. This meeting served to disseminate and share the “Citizen Manifesto” instrument through which the citizens can monitor the implementation of the city council's activity plan and budget spending.

In Maputo, four radio programs aired by Radio Coop/Maputo discussed environment sanitation in the local market and flooding in the neighborhood. This encouraged the municipality to incorporate these priorities into their 2019-2024 plan:

Parceria Cívica para Boa Governação Program (PCBG) FY19 Q2: January 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019 Submitted to USAID/Mozambique

• Hygiene in the KaTembe market was brought to the public’s attention. In particular, the lack of public toilets in the market, environment pollution, and payment of high prices for the use of toilets in commercial building. This was complemented by another debate on the role of commissions of sellers in the KaTembe market and other municipal markets.

Theses radio debates resulted in improvement in environmental sanitation and removal of water blockage caused with by construction of Bagashopping Shopping Center in the Bagamoyo neighborhood.

Congress on the communities affected and resettled by the extractive industry

February 13-14, 2019, KUWUKA JDA and Civic Coalition on Extractive Industry (CCIE) co-organized the First Congress of Communities Affected and Resettled by extractive industry activities. The motto of the congress was “Giving Voice to Communities Affected by Extractive Industry in Mozambique”.

At the Congress participants discussed the challenges of the legal and institutional framework for protecting the human rights of communities affected by the exploitation of mineral resources in Mozambique, representation and participation in community consultations, fair compensation and livelihood guarantee to the resettled, especially women and children, as well as narrations on the Figure 3: Participants to the first congress on community experiences of communities resettled and affected affected and resettled by the extractive industry activities by the extractive industries.

A total of 150 people attended, including influential “In the context of mining exploration, communities social activist Dr. Graca Machel and members of the should not be resettled by giving housing, without giving communities in affected areas of Cabo Delgado, the land that is the source of their livelihood. Nampula, Tete, Manica, Maputo, Inhambane, and Gaza Resettlement models need to be redesigned because provinces and government representatives from Mozambique National Hydrocarbons Company (ENH current ones aren’t responsive to community human Portuguese acronym), Ministry of Land, Environment rights. To do so, the public consultations should give and Rural Development (MITADER Portuguese communities the opportunity to express their desires acronym), Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy and, above all, their proposals of solutions to the (MIREME Portuguese acronym), academics, and problems they face. Finally, mining companies must representatives of the Civil Society Organizations respect the history, culture, and diversity of (CSOs). communities impacted by extractive industries”, stated Dr. Graça Machel. The Congress discussion focused on the extractive industries monitoring process created by CCIE that stakeholders should be familiar with and use to monitor the extractive industry sector practices. Finally, the Congress culminated with adoption of the “Maputo Declaration”, an advocacy tool demanding transparence and accountability in the extractive industry sector.

Advocacy for adoption of biodiversity off-sets

In March, BIOFUND held three sector meetings to advocate for approval and adaptation of biodiversity off sets as described below:

Parceria Cívica para Boa Governação Program (PCBG) FY19 Q2: January 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019 Submitted to USAID/Mozambique

• The first meeting was with the Ministry of Sea, Interior Waters and Fishing (MIMAIP), Policy Directorate, BIOFUND, Conservation, impact Mitigation and Biodiversity Offsets in Africa (COMBO1), National Institute of Fisheries Research (IIP) and National Directorate for Maritime and Fisheries Policies (DIPOL) representatives; • The second meeting was with the Technical Council of the National Director for Environment (DINAB) and technical representatives from BIOFUND and COMBO. This meeting provided an important milestone, as it enabled DINAB to request COMBO and BIOFUND to conclude the Biodiversity Off-sets Guidelines document by the end of April 2019 for later approval by the Government through a legal provision - Ministerial Diploma, by June 2019. • The third meeting was with the National Sustainable Development Fund (FNDS) included representatives from BIOFUND, COMBO, and from FNDS Monitoring, Reporting and Verification Unit.

These meetings culminated in the development and acceptance of an updated version of the guidelines for biodiversity offsets and obtained inputs from these entities to substantially improve the document.

Workshop on “Exchange of Experiences between Environmental Funds”

BIOFUND hosted a workshop on “Exchange of Experiences between Environmental Funds” from three countries, namely Madagascar, Uganda and Mozambique, from February 18-20, 2019, in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society's COMBO Project. The workshop was aimed at (i) discussing biodiversity off-sets as a mechanism to harmonize economic development and biodiversity conservation; (ii) sharing experience with each one of the countries and reflect on opportunities for collaboration and creation of communication platforms between the three countries that are exploring the biodiversity offsets mechanism.

Apart from the working sessions and networking Figure 4: Participants to the workshop during the study visit to opportunities, the workshop included a study Maputo Reserve visit to the Maputo Special Reserve that was attended by members from the African Consortium for Environmental Funds (CAFÉ), namely Mozambique, Madagascar and Uganda, NGOs and public institutions working in the conservation sector from the three countries.

1 COMBO Project works with Governments, the private sector and CSOs across four countries in Africa to support each nation’s policy and capacity to reconcile economic development, conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services utilization.

Petition to demand for better services and discuss municipality budget

PCBG partner CESC supported citizens in Nampula to submit two petitions; one for opening access roads in Muhala, and another on the construction of a municipal market in the agronomist post of Nampula. These petitions had 57 community member signatures. In addition, four radio programs were aired putting pressure on the municipal government sectors to: (i) rehabilitate the access roads degraded due to rainfall; (ii) improve care services at the Central Hospital of the City of Nampula, denouncing of illicit collections and poor patient care; (iii) accelerate the initiation of the participatory budgeting sessions in the City of Nampula and; (iv) combat crime. These debates were attended by 20 participants, including residents, journalists, city councilmen, CSOs, academics, and the Nampula Police Authorities.

CESC participated in the first session of the Municipal Assembly in Maputo from March 27 to 28, 2019, where the Five-Year Plan 2019-2023 was submitted for discussion. Participation in this legislative forum makes it possible to represent the citizens and follow up on how the authorities are responding to priorities raised by the citizens during discussing of the Citizen Manifesto.

District civil society development observatory

On March 29 in Inhambane, MAHLAHLE attended the 22nd session of the local development observatory. The objectives of this meeting were to present and discuss the Social and Economic Plan (PES) 2019 and review the progress of the PES 2019. The forum is a mechanism for debate between the government and different civil society stakeholders. The event was attended by the government provincial and district authorities, civil society organizations, business community, and cooperation partners.

Civil society, which MAHLAHLE is part of, presented its position concerning amendment to the PES targets. During the discussions, the government agreed to modify the district government’s goals shared with the community based on budgetary availability. However, MAHLAHLE felt that the decision was not informed by the citizens directly affected by the reduction of the targets.

It should be noted, however, that this discussion is part of a process of meetings between the provincial government, district governments and civil society. The follow-up will be guided by the MOU between the three parties that provides for accountability on the budgetary execution through district civil society platforms.

These materials have been distributed to MEPT members and other stakeholders in the education sector across the provinces, in order to raise their civic awareness and promote transparency and accountability in budget allocation for education improvement.

Indicator 9 (Output): Number of people trained in climate Figure 8: Sample of advocacy change adaptation supported by USG assistance (Output) material produced In Q2, PCBG partners trained 273 stakeholders including community members, journalists and local government technicians on climate change adaptation.

The impact of climate change is becoming increasingly visible in Cabo Delgado Province. Its causes derive both from human action and from natural processes, and it is manifested through floods, strong winds and severe droughts, as well as through deforestation, erosion and destruction of biodiversity.

In January and February FRUTICAD conducted three trainings and Ntumbuluku, including one training to empower local stakeholders to better deal with the impact of climate change, as described below:

First training session – capacity building targeting five communities FRUTICAD trained 157 people (30 women and 127 men) in five communities of Metuge District, Cabo Delgado. The training covered climate change impacts, best practices and actions for adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and the National Strategy for Adaptation and Mitigation of Climate Change.

Second training – capacity building for local media

FRUTICAD delivered a training targeting media Figure 9: Nanlia community leader presenting his communities’ from January 29-30. Participants included 24 forest and wildlife structure, at Nanlia community space for journalists from seven media outlets; Instituto de public meetings. Comunicação Social (ICS), Rádio Sem Fronteiras (RSF), Rádio Wimbe (RW), Rádio Moçambique (RM), Jornal Noticias, Horizonte, Televisão de Moçambique (TVM). The training covered the same topics as those delivered to the communities, with the addition of sector polices and regulations including: The Forestry and Wildlife Laws; the Regulation

Parceria Cívica para Boa Governação Program (PCBG) FY19 Q2: January 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019 Submitted to USAID/Mozambique on Forests and Wildlife; the Land Law; the Environment Law; the Law on the Protection, Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biological Diversity; the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulation; the Mining Law and respective regulations.

This training equipped provincial media professionals with the knowledge and tools to better report on the impact of climate change, raise public awareness about the problem and existing climate risks, and to prompt their action to adapt to the impact of climate change. For instance, in areas prone to flooding, advocating for techniques to build houses with high foundations; to deal with deforestation advocate for the allocation of funding for reforestation projects, conservation agriculture, among other initiatives.

At the end of each training session, participants develop action plans registering the climate risks affecting their districts, and key adaptation actions needed to address the identified risk factors back home. These actions plans are as part of the dossier that is handed over to each participant for follow-up.

Third training – capacity building for CSOs and government technicians

FRUTICAD delivered training to 43 people, including members of CSOs, local private sector actors and community leaders from five Metuge districts communites namely Nacuta, Messanja, Metuge Sede, Miéze and Nanlia. This training focused on enhancing the ability of these actors to help to build community resilience and minimize negative impacts of climate change impacts.

These trainings helped raise the importance of good governance of natural resources and sustainable use of forest resources to improve household economic development, and the need to comply with environmental management plans by private sector companies operating in the district such as Reef Investment (REEF), working on quarries and sand and Mozambique Food Industry (MIA group), working on food and mineral water production, and the Mozambique Cement Plant (clay, limestone and water) for the protection and conservation of biodiversity.

Ntumbuluku delivered training on climate change adaptation under the Law No. 5/2017

During Q2, PCBG, in collaboration with its partners, facilitated selection and training for 65 observers to ensure that they would be prepared to observe the 2019 voter registration process, which was initially scheduled to begin on April 1.

During the last two weeks of March, Cyclone IDAI damaged and destroyed most of the buildings in the Central region, forcing more than 100,000 people to flee their homes. As a result, the STAE announced

Parceria Cívica para Boa Governação Program (PCBG) FY19 Q2: January 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019 Submitted to USAID/Mozambique that voter registration would begin in all regions on April 15, and that the remaining electoral timetable events would be reviewed, up to and including the October 15 date for elections.

Monitor and response committee member selection process

PCBG and its partners established a process of identification, selection and recruitment of electoral monitors. This process was public, and each partner organization launched calls for applications on job platforms, social networks, Facebook pages, and notices placed in the windows of organizations and in strategic sites. However, the process of identification, selection, and recruitment of Response and Reconciliation Committees (CRRs Portuguese acronym) was different. This process was based on consultations with civil society organizations, local traditional leaders and well-known social activists.

Election Monitor Training

From March 12-22, In the northern region, PCBG facilitated training sessions in the Northern Region (Nampula) as well as in the Southern Region (Maputo) for electoral monitors. The 2019 training focused on the Mozambique electoral processes including sessions on electoral cycle, and rights and duties of monitors based on electoral legislation No. 10/2014. Participants completed exercises that mirrored responsibilities they would have during the election cycle. For example, they filled-out out the electoral census observation sheets, exhibition of electoral book, and registration of incidents of violence. In addition, the monitors received training on safety and personal protection.

In total, 65 participants received training to become electoral monitors. Based on the training performance, PCBG and partners selected 49 (28 men and 21 women) participants to be monitors and 16 as alternates.

The monitors were submitted to pre- and post-tests as part of the training process. According to the pre-test, 70% of the monitors did not participate in the municipal electoral process of 2018, and furthermore had no previous training related to electoral observation. As a result, many participants experienced challenges in understanding the monitoring methodology and the legal framework of the 2019 process. Nevertheless, the post-test responses indicated that the training effectively presented and reinforced the knowledge gained during the 2018 elections.

Indicator 18 (Output): Number of incidents of electoral violence reported

PCBG monitors were not deployed for electoral violence incident reporting during this quarter. This will start to be reported in Q3.

Indicator 19 (Outcome): Percent of reported electoral violence monitoring forms meeting quality threshold

As noted above, no monitor reports were submitted to the PCBG elections team during this quarter. However, the training conducted in March included a review of the procedures for completing the forms, and the minimum standard of reporting that would trigger a verification, follow-up recommendation and CRR member referral.

Indicator 20 (Output): Number of USG-supported activities designed to promote or strengthen the civic participation of women (DR.4-1)

During Q2, PCBG partners facilitated two activities that promoted civic participation of women.

CEURBE

On January 30, CEURBE presented findings from "Inaudible- a study on Violence against Women in the Elections (VAWIE): The Case of Mocuba and Chókwè Municipalities” 32 copies of the report were distributed among the participants, who recommended that the report be more widely circulated.

The event, organized by PCBG, was attended by 36 people, of whom 17 women, mainly university students and civil society organization representatives.

In addition, on March 2 CEURBE appeared on an information program broadcast by SOICO Television to share the findings from the VAWIE report. Through the CEURBE research, PCBG is helping Mozambican citizens and government officials to define VAWIE, understand its effect on civic (and political) participation of women, and identify potential areas of intervention.

Indicator 21 (Output): Number of participants in community mitigation, confidence building, and peace building activities

In late February, PCBG consulted with the members of the CSMN, in particular CEDES, regarding the most effective way to identify potential participants in the 2019 election Conflict Response and Reconciliation Committees (CRR). The Network member organizations consulted with traditional leaders and activists to identify potential members of the Committees. CRR members are respected residents of the communities who have experience as social activists and are known for their impartiality and solution-oriented outlook.

Parceria Cívica para Boa Governação Program (PCBG) FY19 Q2: January 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019 Submitted to USAID/Mozambique

CRR members include religious leaders, leaders of civil society organizations, traditional leaders, academics, and “champions”, which are people from the community with subject matter expertise (e.g. religious leaders, social activists) who can be consulted on that matter on behalf of their communities whenever there is a need. The community expertise enhances the credibility of the committee nominees, which is essential for good relationships with local electoral institutions, line ministry representatives, and judicial officials. Based on the network member recommendations, PCBG invited the nominees to take part in the CRR training.

Training of Response and Reconciliation Committees (CRR)

From March 25-27, PCBG facilitated training in Nampula for 59 members of CRRs (24 women and 35 men) coming from Zambézia, Nampula and Cabo Delgado provinces selected by CESC (21) and ORPHAD (38).

The CRR training agenda included sessions on electoral integrity (how to make a distinction between administrative errors, procedural irregularities, and systemic practices that would indicate fraud), electoral conflicts (prevention, mitigation and resolution), systems and mechanisms for resolving electoral conflicts (court-based and non-court-based mechanisms), key institutions for coordination and communication in the context of electoral conflict management, mechanisms for monitoring and responding to electoral incidents and key institutions for coordination and communication in the context of electoral conflict management, as well as on knowledge and skills relevant to monitoring the first electoral cycle, with an emphasis on the voter registration processes.

As part of the training session, CRR members were administered pre and post-tests, as well as an invitation to comment on the content. Based on the feedback received, the discussions related to various dispute resolution mechanisms and collaboration with other institutions were the ones most appreciated by the participants because the participants consider these tools to be fundamental in the accomplishment of their tasks as CRR members. CRR members expressed confidence in their capacity to address cases of reported conflicts.

CHALLENGES & LESSONS LEARNED

▪ Partner Reporting System: In response to frustrations articulated last quarter by PCBG partners about excessive reporting and requests from various PCBG staff, PCBG implemented a streamlined reporting system requiring partners to submit only monthly reports. PCBG also reorganized program staff and grantees into three affinity HUBs that have a designated manager and the primary point of contact between partners and Counterpart. These efforts aimed at streamlining reporting and communications with partners through HUBs coordinated by HUB Managers has facilitated smoother and more effective relations between Counterpart PCBG and the partners.

▪ Staff Turnover: In the last quarter and the beginning of this quarter, the Counterpart PCBG Program suffered from a high turnover of personnel including senior management positions and key personnel. In order address this, Counterpart conducted a salary review and restructured some of the positions including adding a Deputy Chief of Party to the senior management. Additionally, the PCBG Program adjusted the health insurance plan to allow staff to add more dependents to the plan. Throughout this quarter, PCBG has been actively recruiting to replace positions that were vacated and fill newly created positions that will improve the overall functioning and output of the program.

▪ Cyclone Impact: On March 15 March, intense tropical cyclone Idai made landfall near Beira, Mozambique causing massive destruction and flooding to large areas of Sofala and Manica Provinces. PCBG’s partner in Sofala PNDH, reported some damage to their offices and equipment as a result of the cyclone. The chaos and displacement of thousands of Mozambicans in Sofala and Manica prompted the Mozambican government to postpone the start of the voter registration process by two weeks, moving it from April 1 to April 15. PCBG Elections Team had originally

scheduled trainings to take place this in Beira for monitors and members of CRRs from these provinces, but both the venue and training dates had to be changed as a result of the cyclone. The training will take place in April in Manica. In the next quarter, the impact of the cyclone on voter registration in these provinces will be closely monitored and reported, and any trends or significant information will be shared with other elections stakeholders.

COLLABORATION WITH OTHER DONOR PROJECTS

This quarter there has been substantial collaboration with other donor projects around the elections. Counterpart PCBG held a series of meetings with Midia-lab, a Mozambican NGO and USAID sub-grantee, to discuss collaboration on training journalists and elections monitors. The meetings resulted in a plan for PCBG to contract Midia-lab to produce video training modules on the phases of the elections process. These training modules will be loaded into elections monitors’ smart phones, so monitors can refer to the training videos for guidance on what to look for throughout the different phases of the elections.

Counterpart PCBG has met with the EU funded IDEA project to share information on respective elections monitoring programs in order to coordinate activities and possibly conduct some joint observation activities during the campaign phase.

This quarter Counterpart PCBG attended and shared information at meetings of the Elections Working Group (EWG). The EWG, made up of various bilateral and multilateral donors funding elections activities as well as implementing organizations. This quarter PCBG and partner CEURBE will present the findings of the study on violence against women in elections to the members of the EWG and made plans for future coordination with UNDP/STAE on this issue.

SUCCESS STORIES

Mozambique with First Advocacy Tool on Violence against Women in Elections

As a result of Counterparts’ PCBG Program in partnership with Centro de Estudos Urbanos – CEURBE, Mozambique now has the first ever study on violence against women during elections entitled “The Inaudible”: The case of Mocuba and Chókwè municipalities.

The study revealed that electoral violence is experienced indiscriminately by both men and women. However, women are not only victims of physical violence, they are also victims of economic and psychological violence and they experience this violence more significantly than their male counterparts. Additionally, while the two municipalities present differentiated trajectories of violence, both witnessed widespread violence against women. The municipality of Chókwè presents rates of electoral violence without real political competition, while Mocuba presents levels of electoral violence in the contexts of high political competition.

Violence against women in their different dimensions is a new concept in Mozambique and is not discussed, although the study shows its real existence.

Electoral violence is a common problem in Mozambican elections, but how it affects women is deeply misunderstood. Violence against women in elections (VAWIE) is defined as a threat or act of physical, psychological, sexual, domestic or economic nature perpetrated Figure 121: Katia Gaspar, advocate for women’s participation in against women in any of their roles as electoral electoral and political processes. actors (female candidates, voters, journalists, party workers, sympathizers and members of parties, campaign supporters, etc.) occurring in the public or private space, before, during and after the vote with the intention of interfering with free and equal “We must ask for permission from our husbands to participation of women in the electoral processes. leave home.

To raise awareness on VAWIE in Mozambique, Counterpart in partnership with CEURBE have been conducting dissemination efforts and have since disseminated the study to the Election Working Group (EWG), donor groups, SOICO Television (TV station with highest audience) during prime time and will continue with the dissemination of the study to Universities, CSOs and the government to educate, publicize, and disseminate messages on the problem, thereby making the issue of violence against women public and remove it from obscurity
