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.

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.
