in Portugal (1982-1986), Botswana (1986-1990), Mozambique (1975-1978), and Nigeria (1969-1971). He has also served<br />
as desk officer in the Africa section at State’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research (1971-1974); Staff Officer for the Secretary of<br />
State (1978-1979), and Staff Director for the Africa Subcommittee of the US House of Representatives (1979-1982).<br />
In Maputo Ambassador Carson stated several times “how pleased he was with the efforts made by the MCA team in Mozambique.”<br />
Mr Paulo Fumane gave a short description to Ambassador Carson on MCA Mozambique Projects, he emphasised in more detail on<br />
the MCA FISP Program in relation to the Coconut tree replacement activities and the operations in place to substitute the diseased<br />
trees with new ones, so a self sustainable crop/income for the population can be recreated again. Ambassador Carson mentioned<br />
further that he is looking forward to coming back to Mozambique and then having the time to visit the several projects and activities<br />
discussed. He was in general very impressed by the progress Mozambique has made and hopes that the peace and stability<br />
continues as it has during the last 20 years. Ambassador Carson ended his discussions by thanking MCC and MCA for all the energy<br />
they have infused into these projects and hopes to see many US Investors coming to Mozambique.<br />
Mr Nils Tcheyan (Above Right) General Electric Director of Government Affairs and Policy for Africa<br />
met with Paulo Fumane CEO MCA-Mozambique:<br />
Mr Tcheyan informed Dr Fumane that he was very extremely pleased to visit Mozambique again as he was working here as the<br />
Director of the World Bank during the early nineties.<br />
Mr. Tcheyan informed that General Electric is a diversified global business with products and services ranging from aircraft engines,<br />
power generation, water processing and security technology to medical imaging, financing, media content and industrial products.<br />
GE’s long history of working within the power generation field gave them the engineering know-how to tailor made their solutions<br />
to the clients request. He added that the company is seeing potential in oil & gas, power, water treatment, transport and health<br />
care.<br />
Mr Tcheyn was very interested to get General Electric on the ground in Mozambique and maybe start working together with<br />
MCA Mozambique projects. Especially in the areas of transformation and transmission of electricity. Mr Fumane stated with MCA-<br />
Mozambique second compact looming ahead he was pleased with the interest shown by US Investors.<br />

farmer income supporT project<br />
community meetings<br />
One of The objectives of The Farmer Income Support Project is to<br />
promote active community sensitization and surveillance of CLYD in<br />
line with the community strategy and to facilitate sustainable community<br />
reporting of new outbreaks. Last year, the project continued<br />
to focus on public outreach for building community awareness of<br />
CLYD and Oryctes Prevention and mitigation strategies in the epidemic<br />
zone 6, project messaging through various channels including<br />
a weekly radio program and school-based education, and promotion<br />
of the BDF.<br />
A total of 2,333 community CLYD and Oryctes awareness meetings<br />
were conducted by trainers across the eight participating districts<br />
of Nampula and Zambezia with approximately 43,406 participants<br />
attending. The meetings were attended by government representatives,<br />
community leaders, and community members. The meetings<br />
focused on the evolution of CLYD, CLYD awareness, recognizing the<br />
warning signs of CLYD, and the importance of sustained community<br />
monitoring of trees to prevent further spread of CLYD.<br />

Adoption of Control Measures for Pests and Disease (Epidemic)<br />
In 2011, the FISP Service provider conducted 2,333 sensitization<br />
meetings to transfer knowledge about CLYD and Oryctes with more<br />
than 40,000 people in the epidemic zone, led primarily by Village<br />
Surveillance Brigades members. In September 2011, evaluation of<br />
adoption of control of pests and disease measures in the epidemic<br />
zone (measuring understanding and adoption of knowledge on<br />
CLYD and Oryctes mitigation techniques based on the sensitization)<br />
indicated that based on the criteria for adoption 23% of respondents<br />
were compliant with the definition. Within the subcategories, 100%<br />
of respondents participated in the identification of trees affected<br />
with CLYD by informing local VSB members and 82% of respondents<br />
were able to list the symptoms of CLYD (premature fruit falling,<br />
death of young flowers, and tree yellowing). The results indicate<br />
that project recipients are successfully receiving the message about<br />
CLYD mitigation through various communication channels (radio<br />
programs, awareness meetings, school assemblies and Madal felling<br />
activities). The adoption survey also indicated that epidemic zone<br />
respondents were less active in managing Oryctes actively (44%) or<br />
identifying the different stages of damage to the trees from the Oryctes<br />
beetle (73%). Additionally respondents scored low in the area of<br />
active control of CLYD (30%) however, it is unclear if the respondents<br />
had any trees affected during the period and this low score is contributing<br />
to the low observed rate.<br />
Community Feedback Forum Activities<br />
As of the end of 2011, 48 feedback forums were facilitated in the<br />
eight project districts. The feedback forums were established as a<br />
context in which communities could air grievances and mediate conflicts.<br />
Although there were issues in the first year of the project regarding<br />
ownership of the coconut seedlings, last year no conflicts<br />
were registered by the feedback forums. It is noted that some of the<br />
feedback Forums are active in certain districts and inactive in others.<br />
In 2012, during field visits the social teams will continue to check in<br />
with the feedback forums during community visits to identify and<br />
track conflicts arisingwith project implementation.<br />
CLYD Awareness through Schools<br />
In 2011 awareness meetings on the effects of CLYD in 82 schools in<br />
the epidemic zone across 4 project districts (Angoche, Maganja da<br />
Costa, Moma, and Pebane) took place. As part of the visits, teachers<br />
and students were taught the background and threat of CLYD<br />
and the need for mitigation, posters identifying CLYD symptoms<br />
were posted in schools, and educational materials were distributed<br />
for teachers to incorporate information on CLYD in classes. 8 primary<br />
schools participated in a drawing competition as part of a promotion<br />
conducted on International Children’s day in June after receiving<br />
instructions about CLYD. The theme for the competition was “CLYD<br />
Awareness and Impact” and approximately 480 children participated<br />
(2 schools each in the 4 districts). Winners received backpacks, exercise<br />
books, and pens. This year the program will work in the remaining<br />
4 districts of Chinde, Inhassunge, Nicoadala, and Namacurra. An<br />
evaluation of the school interventions will be conducted in August of<br />
2012. If the results are positive, material will be designed for use by<br />
teachers that can be continued after the Compact.<br />
Community Radio Broadcasting<br />
In conjunction with Radio Mozambique, a radio program was produced<br />
to facilitate project messaging in Zambezia.<br />
The weekly program features a different theme focused at both the<br />
district and community levels. The program conducts interviews and<br />
www.<strong>mca</strong>.gov.mz Page 5
MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE ACCOUNT MOZAMBIQUE<br />
panels with different project stakeholders including government officials,<br />
community leaders, and beneficiaries. The radio program is<br />
aired twice a week in the 6 project districts in Zambezia. A survey<br />
conducted with 1000 beneficiaries in Zambezia indicated that a majority<br />
had listened to the radio program during its broacasting. The<br />
messaging on the radio program primarily focuses on the importance<br />
of proper seedling care in order to restore the coconut industry<br />
in Zambezia and on the importance of CLYD mitigation for the<br />
future of the coconut industry.<br />
This year, the plan is to continue the radio program in Zambezia and<br />
expand it to the Nampula region.<br />
Community Consultation for Clearing and Replanting<br />
In the final quarter of 2011, the FISP social team focused on working<br />
in communities in the endemic zones designated for clearing this<br />
year (2,500 areas were identified). In August and September 2011,<br />
the FISP social teams conducted meetings with 703 people in the<br />
communities designated for clearing that started that quarter last<br />
year. These multi-sectoral teams between local government representatives,<br />
the FISP Teams and Madal Field Coordinators, visited<br />
communities to explain the new project methodology for receiving<br />
coconut seedlings and alternative crops in the next agricultural season.<br />
FISP SUCCESS STORIES:<br />
Sangage Success Story “Post Planting”:- Mustaf Sergio, a 38 year old<br />
man, lives in Mingurine in the Sangage locality of Angoche district<br />
in Nampula. Mr. Sergio was received approximately 60 seedlings in<br />
2009 through FISP program. when the FISP team returned to monitor<br />
the post-planting it found out that only 4 of the original 60 seedlings<br />
had been lost. When asked why he believed his coconut trees had<br />
survived compared to his neighbors he indicated that prior to receiving<br />
the seedlings he made sure his field was meticulously prepared,<br />
and then upon receipt of the seedlings he planted them immediately<br />
the same day with help from his wife and son to prevent any theft or<br />
damage from leaving the seedlings unplanted. His wife thinks, ‘maybe<br />
it was because we have devoted such time and care.” When asked<br />
what advice he would give to other farmers, he had the following to<br />
say: (paraphrased) “People need to keep clean fields. A lot of people<br />
are saying the lack of rain had a large impact on the survival rates, but<br />
I believe that if people listened to the technician and kept their fields<br />
clean like mine they would have survived despite the lack of rainfall.”<br />
The goal of the social team is early participation in the process is to<br />
both improve producer group cohesion, promote intercropping and<br />
to increase the commitment level of community participation in the<br />
adoption of best practices for post-planting of coconut seedlings<br />
and adoption of techniques for producing alternative crops.<br />
Sironge Success story “Post Planting Care”: Mr. Isaac Narcisio is married<br />
with four children. He has lived in Sironge since his birth and<br />
sustains his family through farming. He received 45 seedlings. The<br />
secret of his success is that they were planted in the same plot of land<br />
where he has his cassava. Therefore when it is time for weeding the<br />
new coconut plants were automatically included . Isaac informed us<br />
that he is aware of the benefits of coconuts “Home consumption,<br />
selling in order to buy consummables that I do not produce at home<br />
such as salt, clothing and pay school fees”. “I take care of my new<br />
plants with hope that they will help me in future or the future of my<br />
children”.<br />

local populations - especially behaviour change inicitives<br />
and stigma and discrimination issues - being implemened<br />
as planned.<br />
• What are the corrections needed to reach the expected<br />
outcomes of the HIV and AIDS Programme.<br />
• Are there any negative impacts of the development of<br />
the Programme in relation to the local communities and<br />
according to complain and problems presented locally<br />
Which are the measures needed to correct this.<br />
• Are there any examples on benefits achieved from the<br />
Project, presented and reported by the local community<br />
and its representatives.<br />
• Are the local communities fully involved in determination<br />
of the following issues:<br />
