Current estimated food security • Despite some improvement in the overall food security, in the conditions, (April-June 2009) semi‐arid districts of southern Tete province and northwest Gaza province, and the semi‐arid district of Sofala province, households are at high risk of food insecurity in the very near future, and moderate levels of food insecurity are expected to continue throughout the consumption year. • The Technical Secretariat for Food Security and Nutrition (SETSAN) projected that as early as August an estimated 175,000 persons in the critical districts in the provinces of Tete, Gaza and Sofala are in need of food aid, until the 2009/2010 harvest, while an additional 72,000 persons among poor households in Maputo and Inhambane provinces will require food aid from October until April 2010. • Food insecurity could also affect households living in some districts of Nampula and Zambezia provinces where poor households will likely need assistance. Given better functionality of the markets in these areas, SETSAN recommends cash transfers are from October or beyond until April 2010. • The most recent weekly report from the Agriculture Market Information System (SIMA), indicates that weekly maize prices at the consumer level have been generally stable with small fluctuations in the central zone where some increases were Source: FEWS NET observed.

However, in the semi‐arid districts of southern Tete province and northwest Gaza province, and the semi‐arid district of Sofala province, households are at high risk of food insecurity in the very near future as a result of a combination of adverse climatic conditions, occurrence of pests, high food prices, and weak livelihood options. Access to food will be short‐lived and moderate levels of food insecurity are expected to persist throughout the consumption year. In most of the semi‐arid areas indicated above, it is believed that very poor and poor households are still facing difficulties to meet their food needs. Food access remains critical given the poor roads infrastructure and less than normal food availability in the markets. Inadequate access to food is likely to continue until the next main harvest in 2010. Households may have benefited from declining prices right after harvest, but there is indication that the maize prices, for instance, are already increasing contrary to the normal trends. This will undermine further the access to food through market purchases, especially for poorer households that depend on markets. While the annual assessment is being planned for July to determine the scale of need and appropriate response mechanisms in the country, SETSAN has anticipated that 240,000 to 350,000 people are at high risk of food insecurity, and will require humanitarian assistance until the main harvest in April/May 2010 in the semi‐arid districts of southern Tete province (districts of Changara, Cahora Bassa, Mágoe and Mutarara) and northwest Gaza province (Chicualacuala, Chigubo, Chibuto and Mabalane), and the semi arid district of Sofala province (Chemba, Cheringoma, Chibabava, Maríngue, and Machanga), due to a very low food stocks, limited cash income, and high food prices. Since the current season follows a bad season, adverse conditions may be experienced much earlier and with greater intensity than normal. As early as August, the most vulnerable households will not be able to sustain themselves without external assistance. Therefore, SETSAN recommended food aid for an estimated 175,000 persons in the critical districts in the provinces of Tete, Gaza and Sofala, until April 2010. This will prevent households from employing extreme and negative coping strategies. As the hunger season begins, it is expected that an additional 72,000 persons among poor households in Maputo and Inhambane provinces will find their food stocks and ability to cope exhausted. Unless these households receive food assistance from October to the main harvest season next year, they will be unable to sustain their lives. SETSAN recommends that authorities consider the provision of inputs, nutritional programs, and water collection and where markets are working reasonably well‐cash transfers. It is worth noting that late in the year, food insecurity could also affect households living in some areas of Nampula province (districts of Angoche, Moma, Mongicual and Mossuril) and Zambezia province (Chinde, Mopeia, Morrumbala), where poor households will likely need assistance. Given better functionality of the markets in these areas, cash transfers are recommended from October or beyond to April 2010. A failure in activating a timely humanitarian intervention will cause poorer and very poor households to begin to employ extreme and negative coping strategies, including consumption of improper food on a large scale, such as wild foods. These wild foods are highly toxic with the possibility of causing health problems with the risk of death. Food security assessment in southern Tete province FEWS NET’s April‐September 2009 Food Security Outlook highlighted geographic areas that should be closely monitored throughout the consumption year, including the semi‐arid districts of southern Tete and northwest Gaza provinces. The previous FSU mentioned that in late 2008, these areas were moderately food insecure, a condition that resulted from protracted drought during the 2007/08 production season, and which was compounded by acute water shortages in semi‐ arid areas. Therefore, given the adverse agro‐climatic conditions during the 2008/09 production season in the same areas, there is some concern that similar conditions are likely to be found during the consumption period later in the year. Famine Early Warning Systems Network 2 MOZAMBIQUE Food Security Update June 2009 FEWS NET and the National Institute of Disaster Management (INGC) carried out a qualitative rapid food security assessment, from June 8‐13, in Mágoe, Cahora Bassa, Changara, and Mutarara districts in southern Tete Province (See Figure 2). Similarly to the previous assessment to Gaza province, this assessment consisted of key informant interviews with district administrative authorities, agriculture authorities, community leaders, farmers, and household representatives. The assessment also included observations from community visits. Assessment findings for the Figure 2.

Most Gorongosa households planted in mid‐ December so by the time rains Source: FEWS NET stopped most crops were in the flowering to soft dough stages. This is when the water requirement is at its maximum knowing that the growing cycle of the staple crop ranges from 90 to 120 days. As a result, most crops from the rain‐fed lands were lost. Exceptions include the lowlands where residual moisture sustained crops until maturity. Unfortunately those who have access to the lowlands are a minority. In addition, most productive lowland areas of Mágoe and Cahora Bassa districts for instance are massively populated by wild animals such as elephants, hippopotamus and wild boars. The proliferation of wild animals in the zone is the origin of the so‐called man‐wild fauna conflict. The man‐wild fauna conflict was mentioned to be a disaster in the region. Vast areas of planted lands are drastically devastated by elephants and hippopotamus. Only in Mágoe District, authorities estimate that nearly half of the maize planted in the lowlands for the 2008/09 agriculture season was lost due to elephants. Figure 3.

  • A Landscape Approach to Elephant Conservation in Mozambique
    A landscape approach to elephant conservation in Mozambique by Cornélio Pedro Ntumi Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Zoology) in the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences University of Pretoria Pretoria February 2012 i © University of Pretoria A landscape approach to elephant conservation in Mozambique Student: Cornélio Pedro Ntumi Supervisor: Professor Rudi J. van Aarde Conservation Ecology Research Unit Department of Zoology & Entomology University of Pretoria Pretoria 0002 rjvaardezoology.up.ac.za Co-supervisor: Dr Sam M. Ferreira Scientific Services South African National Parks Skukuza 1350 South Africa Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (Zoology) ii Abstract People and elephants share landscapes throughout Mozambique. Here elephant conservation management focuses on protected areas but fails to address the conflict that exists between elephants and people. In this thesis I develop a landscape approach to conflict mitigation that is designed to accommodate the needs of people and of elephants in human-dominated landscapes. Mozambique faces a dilemma: politically it is required to reduce poverty while at the same time adhere to international agreements and requirements to protect biodiversity with relatively scarce financial resources. Reactive mitigation of human-elephant conflict (HEC) at the site-specific scale have proven to be costly and with low efficacy. A shift from reactive to proactive HEC mitigation approaches at the county-wide scale (e.g. a district level, the administrative planning body) may provide opportunities to reconcile such apparent contrasting requirements in Mozambique. The elephant population of Mozambique is fragmented and remnant sub-populations are limited to clusters of protected areas in a matrix of human-dominated landscapes.

  • Angoche: an Important Link of the Zambezian Gold Trade Introduction
    Angoche: An important link of the Zambezian gold trade CHRISTIAN ISENDAHL ‘Of the Moors of Angoya, they are as they were: they ruin the whole trade of Sofala.‘ Excerpt from a letter from Duarte de Lemos to the King of Portugal, dated the 30th of September, 1508 (Theal 1964, Vol. I, p. 73). Introduction During the last decade or so a significant amount of archaeological research has been devoted to the study of early urbanism along the east African coast. In much, this recent work has depended quite clearly upon the ground-breaking fieldwork conducted by James Kirkman and Neville Chittick in Kenya and Tanzania during the 1950´s and 1960´s. Notwithstanding the inevitable and, at times, fairly apparent shortcomings of their work and their basic theoretical explanatory frameworks, it has provided a platform for further detailed studies and rendered a wide flora of approaches to the interpretation of the source materials in recent studies. In Mozambique, however, recent archaeological research has not benefited from such a relatively strong national tradition of research attention. The numerous early coastal settlements lining the maritime boundaries of the nation have, in a very limited number, been the target of specialized archaeological fieldwork and analysis only for two decades. The most important consequence has been that research directed towards thematically formulated archaeological questions has had to await the gathering of basic information through field surveys and recording of existing sites as well as the construction and perpetual analysis and refinement of basic chronostratigraphic sequences. Furthermore, the lack of funding, equipment and personnel – coupled with the geographical preferentials of those actually active – has resulted in a yet quite fragmented archaeological database of early urbanism in the country.

  • 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.

    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HUMANITARIAN/RESIDENT COORDINATOR ON THE USE OF CERF GRANTS Country Mozambique Humanitarian / Resident Mr. Ndolamb Ngokwey Coordinator Reporting Period 1 January-31 December 2008 I. Executive Summary Mozambique is persistently hit by frequent natural disasters which inflict major damage and as a result, set back economic growth. Natural disasters such as floods, cyclones and droughts, continue to be the main obstacle for sustainable development and the achievement of the Millenium Developmental Goals (MDGs). The heavy rains in Mozambique and bordering countries from mid-December 2007 to mid- February 2008 flooded the Save, Buzi, Púngoè and Zambezi river basins in central Mozambique and have created flash floods around the Lugenda, Megaruna, Messalo and Montepuez rivers in the North of the country. Some 21,476 households (102,155 people) were affected by the 2008 Floods and 20 were reported dead. According to the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) 150,923 Ha of agricultural land were lost due to the 2008 floods. Following a Council of the Ministers meeting on 3January 2008, the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) declared a “Red Alert” later that afternoon. The Central Emergency Operations Centre (CENOE) was activated on 4 January 2008 and meetings with emergency focal points from the line ministries, relevant Government institutions and the Humanitarian Country Team members through the Cluster approach (WASH-water, Sanitation and Hygiene; Food Security; Logistics; Telecommunications; Shelter; Health; Protection; Education; Nutrition and Early Recovery) took place daily to provide updates on the situation and response in areas affected by the flooding. On 8 March 2008 the tropical cyclone “Jokwe” hit the coastland of Nampula and Zambezia, leaving behind a trail of destruction with a total of 40,339 households (201,695 people) affected, a death toll of 13 and 68,522 hectares of agricultural land destroyed.
