Mozambique Final

1. Subnational adaptation to climate
change
Subnational adaptation planning
MOZAMBIQUE

2. AGENDA
• Background
• PLA program
• Project LOCAL
• NAP

3. Background
• The Government of Mozambique approved in 2012 the National Strategy
for Adaptation and Mitigation of Climate Change (2013-2025).
• For its operationalization, it began with the process of elaboration of PLAs,
which describe the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of communities
and the district as well as identifies and prioritizes measures to adapt to
climate change.
• The integration of PLA into the district's different guiding plans, allows the
country to meet its medium- and long-term development goals.

4. Project LoCal
• Based on information compiled, and on the potential synergies that could
be created with existing programmes, LoCAL will initially work in 4 of the
interior districts of Gaza Province (Mabalane, Guija and Massingir and
Chicualacuala) where the BFFS funded Food Security and Nutritional
Programme (FNSP) is being implemented.
• These districts are also receiving support from the World Bank funded
National Decentralised Planning and Finance Project (NDPFP), the
DANIDA/EU funded Environmental Sector Programme Support Project
(EPSP II) and other development partners.
• Planning for the expansion of LoCAL will begun in July 2018
• In addition to the 4 districts chosen for the first phase, the second phase
of LoCAL will expand to the vulnerable districts of Chigubo, Massangena,
Chókwè and Chibuto in Gaza province and to the districts of Jangamo,
Panda, Funhalouro, Govuro and Mabote in Inhambane province making a
total of 13 districts, roughly 10% of the total districts in the country.

5. LOCAL PROJECT:
Decentralized participative planning C Local Councils
Maternity: reducing distances for women and high temperatures and risk of
floods District of Massingir

6. • The use of participatory diagnostic tools in the context of LoCAL/SAN have
provided an important gateway to more integrated, inclusive, transparent,
efficient and effective local planning and governance:
a) They support the facilitation of participatory processes of identification
and prioritization of projects on different themes (AMC/SAN and others)
in a single step;
b) They support the diagnosis and definition of participatory solutions,
using combined tools in a single step, for the elaboration of PDD's that
include SAN / AMC. The use of a combined SAN-AMC approach has
served as a lever to strengthen the ongoing process of decentralization
and local governance in the province.

7. LOCAL PROJECT GOALS
• Continue the process of strengthening the technical capacities of Local
Governments in matters such as planning and budgeting and financing Local
Adaptation Plans;
• Improve intergovernmental communication mechanisms between DPEF-DPTADER-
DPOPHRH, to ensure adequate support to Local Governments;
• Identify technological options for supplying drinking water to populations in a
context of high salinity in the intervention areas of LoCAL;
• Support, in a timely and effective way, the District UGEAs in the processes of
acquisition of goods and services;
• Control the suitability and financial capacity of local companies that will provide
the infrastructures, services and equipment for local communities; and
• Maximize the performance of local government technical teams to ensure an
adequate accountability process for decentralized financial resources for
investments associated with resilience.

8. LOCAL PROJECT success factors
For the success of the project It should be ensured that:
a) The process of drawing up the District Development Plans is duly
articulated with the Local Adaptation Plans;
b) Local governments should strictly manage the contracts in order to
guarantee the implementation of the projects in accordance with the
established deadlines;
c) Together with DPTADER in Gaza province, the environmental impact
assessment process should continue for all projects:
d) Decentralization of funds for administrative expenditure should be
considered;
e) A flowchart of communication between all stakeholders including DPEF
and DPTADER should be developed;

9. LOCAL PROJECT success factors cont…
f) Monitoring actions should be carried out on a quarterly basis to ensure
compliance with the expected socio-economic objectives for each activity or
project;
g) Continued training should be provided to District Governments, including
District Technical Team technicians, on issues related to local governance,
public finance and planning, and increased resilience, project monitoring; and
h) The inclusion of the Mapai District in the next programming cycle should
be considered; Quarterly project monitoring meetings involving provincial
and district implementers should be held

10. NAP
Purpose of NAP
Reducing vulnerability by integrating adaptation to climate change into
national planning processes within relevant sectors at all levels (UNFFCCC, 5 /
CP.17)

11. Pillars of NAP
• Updating of the National System for Monitoring Climate Change to
monitor the NAP process;
• Dissemination of planning and budgeting tools in the sector;
• Increased awareness of several target audiences on climate change
through the implementation of a communication campaign

12. How can the NAP process create an enabling environment for adaptation
action at sub-national levels?
Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) and under the Cancun Agreement (2010), the National
Adaptation Plan (NAP) was established as a tool for medium and long term
planning, complementary to what already existed with the National
Program for Adaptation - focused on reducing vulnerability in the short
term

13. IMPORTANCE OF NAP TO MOZAMBIQUE
• Supports climate integration Clearly sets objectives and priorities Helps to
define the long-term perspective It is based on current efforts Defines
specific needs: knowledge, skills, backgrounds,
• Defines a portfolio of interventions Mobilization resources: public /
private, national / international Indicates how progress will be measured
and reported Strengthens coordination effort Alignment of adaptation
priorities with development needs
NAPcont…

14. • Planning: Mutually supportive adaptation planning processes at sub-
national
– Sub- national authorities: facilitating participatory planning processes
– Local Organizations and communities: Participating in adaptation
planning processes to communicate local needs and priorities
NAPcont…

15. • Implementation: Coordinated implementation of adaptation by sub-
national actors;
– Sub- national authorities: Coordinating sub-national implementation
and channelling resources to local organization and communities;
– Local Organizations and communities: Implementing local adaptation
actions in line with the NAP (LAPs);

NAP PROCESS
• Monitoring & Evaluation: Results and lessons learned from sub-national
levels are captured, shared and integrated into ongoing decision-making
and future adaptation planning.
– Sub- national authorities: Aggregating and synthesizing local
information and monitoring and reporting sub-national progress to
national level;
– Local Organizations and communities: Monitoring and reporting
progress to sub-national authorities.

ENABLING FACTORS
• Institutional arrangements: Mechanisms in place for ongoing dialogue
between actors at different levels;
• Capacity Development: Actors at all levels have the capacities needed for
vertical integration to occur;
• Information sharing: Actors at all levels are generating and sharing
relevant information, including climate information as well as information
on the NAP and related processes.
