EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Title II Development Activity Proposal (DAP) outlines Food for the Hungry Mozambique's (FHM) program goals, objectives, activities and related financial information for the period FY 1997 - FY 2001. The document is intended to serve as both an operational plan and a point of future reference for measuring success in achieving the goals and objectives set forth. Food for the Hungry International (FHI) began relief operations in Sofala Province, Mozambique in 1989 in response to famine and chronic food insecurity caused by civil war, intermittent drought and a breakdown in rural distribution and marketing networks. Early efforts focused on providing food, clothing, medicine, seeds and tools to the internally displaced people who flooded the Beira corridor. In addition, through food for work (FFW), FHM opened roads, built bridges and increased the access to local and regional markets. In 1990, due to changing conditions, FHM made a decision to transition from relief to rehabilitation by launching its Sofala Province Rural Rehabilitation Project (SRRP) with funding from USAID/M. The overall goal of the SRRP was to help beneficiaries reduce dependency on relief assistance via increased agricultural production, income generation and rural employment. During the three-year life of project (LOP), FHM was successful in significantly raising agricultural productivity and production of 93% of the beneficiary households. In addition, productivity and production increased among non-beneficiary households through technology transfer via communication and contact with beneficiary farmers. Following the conclusion of the SRRP in 1994, FHM expanded its agricultural development activities with its Sofala Province Extension and Rehabilitation Project (SPEAR). SPEAR (scheduled to conclude in FY 1997) currently has five major components: agricultural extension, human resource development, applied and adaptive research, sustainable seed supplies and agri-enterprise development. To date, SPEAR has been very successful in promoting technology adoption and raising agricultural productivity in several food insecure districts of Sofala Province (see page 26 and Appendix 1 for mid-LOP results). As mentioned above, one of the key goals of FHM throughout the past several years has been to increase food security among the most vulnerable populations in Sofala Province of Mozambique. Despite the substantial efforts of FHM, this province remains relatively food insecure due to the lingering effects of civil war and internal displacement, poverty, recurrent drought and low agricultural productivity. At any given time, a significant number of people are lacking one or more of the three basic components of food security, i.e., food availability, food access and food utilization. In response to this problem, FHM's overall goal in the current food security program proposal from 1997 to 2001 will be to increase food availability and access and improve food utilization for 209,520 men, women and children in 16 1 participating communities in Nhamatanda and Marromeu Districts in Sofala Province (the average size of a community is 8,447 inhabitants). An additional 112,000 people in the other 10 districts of Sofala will benefit annually from FHM’s agricultural research findings and recommendations. The proposed increase in food security will be accomplished via an integrated approach in agricultural productivity, marketing and enterprise, and maternal-child health and nutrition. Impact objectives will be to reduce morbidity and malnutrition among children under the age of five and increase income and agricultural productivity and production at the household and community levels. The impact of the above interventions will be measured using a rigorous baseline study in order to determine pre-program status and then by monitoring and evaluating progress in the various indicators on a monthly, semi-annual, mid-life of activity and end of life of activity (LOA) basis. In Table 1 below, FHM’s food security strategy and proposed interventions are presented within the overall framework of USAID goals and strategic objectives.
