About
Overview:Southern Mozamique includes the Limpopo River Basin (LRB) of which Chicualalcuala district lies. It is the area worst affected by floods. In order to address the needs of the highly vulnerable population, the government requested the JP to focus on Chicualacuala for the intervention. The two problems the JP addressed was: 1) the non-inclusion of environmental and climate change considerations in the majority of government policies and plans, and 2) the weak adaptive capacity of the rural population to climate change (CC) impact. The JP supports directly the NAPA (National Adaptation Plan of Action) of the Ministry for the Coordination of Environmental Affairs (MICOA) that has the overall goal to strengthen national capacity to cope with CC effects. It is structured around five outcomes. Very few people in Mozambique knew of climate change and its consequences when the JP started in September 2008. The address this, a comprehensive sensitization programme was undertaken including seminars, workshops, exchange visits and the development of education material. As a result a wide group of decision makers at all levels (national, provincial, district and community) have now a basic understanding of environmental management and CCA (climate change adaptation). This has further contributed to mainstreaming these issues in government plans. For example, environment and CC have been incorporated in the Chicualacuala district 5-year strategic development plan (PEDD), in the strategy for food security and nutrition (ESAN II), and in the annual contingency plan of the INGC (Institute for Disaster Relief Management). Under the second outcome capacity development of provincial and district staff and community leaders was undertaken. A risk mapping exercise done jointly with the National Institute of Disaster Management (INGC) produced a high quality report that is used for district development planning in Chicualacuala, and the study was replicated by INGC in 14 other vulnerable districts. A training workshop for district level decision makers fin the Limpopo Basin took place as part of the development of an integrated water management plan (IWPM), the first training of this type in Mozambique. Under the third outcome a three part study on understanding the socio-economic consequences of CC and develop a climate proofing strategy in the Limpopo river basin was commissioned. The firs two parts were completed, dealing with physical and socio-economic impacts of CC, and the priority areas selected for climate proofing in the Limpopo river basin. Under outcome four a range of activities were undertaken in a total of 18 communities in Chicualacuala district that benefited over 2,000 families and provided indirect benefits to many others. The specific results are listed under the fourth outcome. Under outcome five results were again principally felt at the community level. The JP has been able to improve the management of water resources in rural communities by expanding irrigated agricultural production, installing household and community rainwater harvesting systems, drilling boreholes equipped with solar pumps and storage tanks and building livestock drinking troughs. Community water management committees have been created and trained to manage these installations. To strengthen the capacity of agricultural producers in Chicualacuala district numerous interventions in the area of water development, agriculture, horticulture, livestock health and production, agro-processing, fish framing, beekeeping and forestry were undertaken. CC mainstreaming was part of the sensitization campaign and reached all levels of government, civil society groups and academics, journalists, so that CC have become incorporated into plans and policies. CC adaptation, however, focused at the district level through a range of different activities that made communities more resilient and aware of CCA strategies and mechanisms.
