(MITADER) Mozland LAND ADMINISTRATION PROJECT INTERVENTIONS Public Disclosure Authorized MINISTRY OF LAND, ENVIRONMENTAL AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT (MITADER) MozLand LAND ADMINISTRATION PROJECT INTERVENTIONS Public Disclosure Authorized (LAPI) ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT Public Disclosure Authorized FRAMEWORK (ESMF) Public Disclosure Authorized September 2018 Draft report ESMF for Mozland SUMÁRIO EXECUTIVO Contextualização Moçambique teve progressos significativos nos últimos vinte anos na melhoria do acesso seguro à terra para todos os cidadãos, em particular através do fortalecimento da sua política e do ordenamento jurídico relacionado com a terra e do funcionamento do seu sistema de administração e gestão fundiária. A incapacidade de executar tarefas básicas de administração da terra, especialmente a níveis mais descentralizados (provincial e distrital), incluindo o aproveitamento das tecnologias disponíveis para facilitar as actividades de regularização fundiária em larga escala, tem sido um grande obstáculo à implementação da Lei de Terras e à execução sistemática do cadastro e registo dos direitos à terra. Para enfrentar a pressão sem precedentes sobre a terra resultante da expansão dos centros urbanos, a construção de infra-estruturas públicas, o desenvolvimento de projectos nas áreas rurais e novas pressões sobre as terras resultantes das alterações climáticas, o Governo de Moçambique adoptou o Programa Terra Segura em 2015, como parte do Programa Nacional de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. O Projecto de Intervenções de Administração de Terra (LAPI) também conhecido por Mozland irá apoiar directamente a implementação do programa Terra Segura do governo e tornar-se um dos principais veículos para a sua implementação. Breve Descrição do Projecto O Governo de Moçambique está a procurar o apoio do Grupo Banco Mundial para financiar o projecto MozLand, a ser implementadas nos próximos 5 anos. O Objetivo de Desenvolvimento do Projecto é fortalecer os direitos de uso terra em distritos prioritários selecionados e modernizar os serviços de administração e gestão da terra. O objectivo de desenvolvimento do Projecto proposto seria alcançado através de: (i) acelerar o estabelecimento do cadastro e o registo de direitos de uso da terra; (ii) integração do planeamento básico do uso da terra com actividades sistemáticas de regularização fundiária; (iii) melhorar o ambiente legal e operacional do cadastro e registo de propriedades; (iv) fortalecimento da capacidade institucional e dos recursos humanos para o estabelecimento e manutenção do sistema de cadastro e registo; (v) melhorar o sistema digital de registo de propriedade e o sistema cadastral e torna-lo acessível on-line para o público, e (vi) aumentar a conscientização sobre a importância dos direitos de propriedade predial, particularmente ao nível da comunidade. Os beneficiários directos do Projecto são: (i) indivíduos e comunidades dentro das áreas de implementação do projecto, (ii) instituições como MITADER e suas Direcções que lidam com assuntos I ESMF MITADER ESMF for Mozland de Terra (Direcção Nacional de Terras - DINAT, Direcção Nacional de Ordenamento Territorial e Reassentamento - DINOTER e CENACARTA), Ministério da Justiça, Registos Notariais e Assuntos Religiosos, municípios e outras agências centrais que gerem dados espaciais. As melhorias no sistema de informações sobre administração de terras terão impacto nacional, disponibilizando informações sobre administração de terras para todos, incluindo usuários especializados, como notários, advogados, instituições financeiras, agrimensores e público em geral. O Orçamento do Projecto Mozland está estimado em $100 milhões de Dólares Norte Americanos, distribuído de seguinte forma pelas 4 componentes: • COMPONENTE 1: Desenvolvimento Institucional e Fortalecimento do Quadro Legal (US$22.7 milhão). • COMPONENTE 2: Regularização Sistemática de Terras (US$64.7 milhões). • COMPONENTE 3: Project Management and Coordination (US$12.6 milhões). • COMPONENTE 4: Contingências e resposta a emergências.

Os subcomponentes e actividades indicativas a serem apoiadas são: (i) Subcomponente 1.1 - Revisão da Política Nacional de Terras e do quadro legal relacionada à terra; (ii) Subcomponente 1.2 - Consolidação de instituições e políticas; (iii) Subcomponente 1.3 - Melhoria da infraestrutura e equipamentos. (iv) Subcomponente 1.4 - Sistema de Gestão de Informações de Terras. COMPONENTE 2: Regularização Sistemática da Terra. O objectivo desta Componente é apoiar a regularização sistemática dos direitos de uso da terra em distritos selecionados através da emissão de títulos comunitários de delimitação de terras e documentação formal que confere o Direito de Uso de Terras - DUAT obtidos através da ocupação (consuetudinária e boa fé). As subcomponentes e actividades indicativas que devem ser apoiadas são as seguintes: (i) Subcomponente 2.1 - Campanha de Informação Pública e Sensibilização; (ii) Subcomponente 2.2 - Mapeamento Base; (ii) Subcomponente 2.3. Delimitação e regularização da comunidade de direitos de uso da terra. COMPONENTE 3: Gestão de Projectos e Coordenação (US $ 12,6 milhões). Esta componente incluirá apoio ao MITADER e suas três Direcções principais (a Direção Nacional de Terras - DINAT, a Direção Nacional de Ordenamento Territorial e Reassentamento - DINOTER, o Centro Nacional de Cartografia II ESMF MITADER ESMF for Mozland - CENACARTA) e o Fundo Nacional para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável - (FNDS) para gerir o Projecto através do financiamento de uma Unidade de Implementação do Projecto (UIP), monitoramento e avaliação, e actividades de consciencialização pública e outras actividades. COMPONENTE 4: Contingências e Resposta a Emergências. Reflectindo a abordagem estratégica adoptada em Moçambique em toda a carteira do Banco, esta Componente fornecerá resposta imediata a situações de emergência elegíveis. Como tal, no caso de tal emergência elegível (conforme definido no Manual Operacional já preparado e adotado pelo governo), e a pedido do governo, a Componente financiaria actividades de emergência e despesas através da realocação de fundos do Projecto. Arranjos Institucionais O Ministério da Terra, Ambiente e Desenvolvimento Rural - MITADER, que é responsável pelo desenvolvimento e implementação de políticas da Terra será o responsável pela implementação do projecto Mozland. O Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (FNDS), criado em 2016, está sob a supervisão do MITADER, e tem como objectivo mobilizar fundos, promover e financiar programas e projectos que assegurem um desenvolvimento sustentável, harmonioso e inclusivo, com particular ênfase nas áreas rurais. Por conseguinte, pretende mobilizar, recolher, gerir e investir fundos ligados ao meio ambiente, florestas e terras, e gerir projectos financiados por doadores, como os projectos financiados pelo Banco Mundial. Além de ser supervisionado pelo MITADER, este Fundo é supervisionado financeiramente pelo Ministério do Plano e Finanças. O pelouro de Gestão de Projectos no FNDS é responsável por gerir todos os projectos (incluindo o Projecto Mozland).

Anaemia is a public health problem in mothers and preschool children in Mozambique and up to 40% of these cases are probably due to dietary iron deficiency. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recognize the fortification of foodstuff as an effective method to remedy dietary deficiencies of micronutrients, including iron. Cassava mahewu, a non-alcoholic fermented beverage is prepared at subsistence level from cassava roots using indigenous procedures. The aim of the study was to standardize mahewu fermentation and investigate if the type of cassava fermented, or the iron compound used for fortification affected the final product.
