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

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

Adoption of Control Measures for Pests and Disease (Epidemic)
In 2011, the FISP Service provider conducted 2,333 sensitization
meetings to transfer knowledge about CLYD and Oryctes with more
than 40,000 people in the epidemic zone, led primarily by Village
Surveillance Brigades members. In September 2011, evaluation of
adoption of control of pests and disease measures in the epidemic
zone (measuring understanding and adoption of knowledge on
CLYD and Oryctes mitigation techniques based on the sensitization)
indicated that based on the criteria for adoption 23% of respondents
were compliant with the definition. Within the subcategories, 100%
of respondents participated in the identification of trees affected
with CLYD by informing local VSB members and 82% of respondents
were able to list the symptoms of CLYD (premature fruit falling,
death of young flowers, and tree yellowing). The results indicate
that project recipients are successfully receiving the message about
CLYD mitigation through various communication channels (radio
programs, awareness meetings, school assemblies and Madal felling
activities). The adoption survey also indicated that epidemic zone
respondents were less active in managing Oryctes actively (44%) or
identifying the different stages of damage to the trees from the Oryctes
beetle (73%). Additionally respondents scored low in the area of
active control of CLYD (30%) however, it is unclear if the respondents
had any trees affected during the period and this low score is contributing
to the low observed rate.
Community Feedback Forum Activities
As of the end of 2011, 48 feedback forums were facilitated in the
eight project districts. The feedback forums were established as a
context in which communities could air grievances and mediate conflicts.
Although there were issues in the first year of the project regarding
ownership of the coconut seedlings, last year no conflicts
were registered by the feedback forums. It is noted that some of the
feedback Forums are active in certain districts and inactive in others.
In 2012, during field visits the social teams will continue to check in
with the feedback forums during community visits to identify and
track conflicts arisingwith project implementation.
CLYD Awareness through Schools
In 2011 awareness meetings on the effects of CLYD in 82 schools in
the epidemic zone across 4 project districts (Angoche, Maganja da
Costa, Moma, and Pebane) took place. As part of the visits, teachers
and students were taught the background and threat of CLYD
and the need for mitigation, posters identifying CLYD symptoms
were posted in schools, and educational materials were distributed
for teachers to incorporate information on CLYD in classes. 8 primary
schools participated in a drawing competition as part of a promotion
conducted on International Children’s day in June after receiving
instructions about CLYD. The theme for the competition was “CLYD
Awareness and Impact” and approximately 480 children participated
(2 schools each in the 4 districts). Winners received backpacks, exercise
books, and pens. This year the program will work in the remaining
4 districts of Chinde, Inhassunge, Nicoadala, and Namacurra. An
evaluation of the school interventions will be conducted in August of
2012. If the results are positive, material will be designed for use by
teachers that can be continued after the Compact.
Community Radio Broadcasting
In conjunction with Radio Mozambique, a radio program was produced
to facilitate project messaging in Zambezia.
The weekly program features a different theme focused at both the
district and community levels. The program conducts interviews and
www.mca.gov.mz Page 5

MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE ACCOUNT MOZAMBIQUE
panels with different project stakeholders including government officials,
community leaders, and beneficiaries. The radio program is
aired twice a week in the 6 project districts in Zambezia. A survey
conducted with 1000 beneficiaries in Zambezia indicated that a majority
had listened to the radio program during its broacasting. The
messaging on the radio program primarily focuses on the importance
of proper seedling care in order to restore the coconut industry
in Zambezia and on the importance of CLYD mitigation for the
future of the coconut industry.
This year, the plan is to continue the radio program in Zambezia and
expand it to the Nampula region.
Community Consultation for Clearing and Replanting
In the final quarter of 2011, the FISP social team focused on working
in communities in the endemic zones designated for clearing this
year (2,500 areas were identified). In August and September 2011,
the FISP social teams conducted meetings with 703 people in the
communities designated for clearing that started that quarter last
year. These multi-sectoral teams between local government representatives,
the FISP Teams and Madal Field Coordinators, visited
communities to explain the new project methodology for receiving
coconut seedlings and alternative crops in the next agricultural season.
FISP SUCCESS STORIES:
Sangage Success Story “Post Planting”:- Mustaf Sergio, a 38 year old
man, lives in Mingurine in the Sangage locality of Angoche district
in Nampula. Mr. Sergio was received approximately 60 seedlings in
2009 through FISP program. when the FISP team returned to monitor
the post-planting it found out that only 4 of the original 60 seedlings
had been lost. When asked why he believed his coconut trees had
survived compared to his neighbors he indicated that prior to receiving
the seedlings he made sure his field was meticulously prepared,
and then upon receipt of the seedlings he planted them immediately
the same day with help from his wife and son to prevent any theft or
damage from leaving the seedlings unplanted. His wife thinks, ‘maybe
it was because we have devoted such time and care.” When asked
what advice he would give to other farmers, he had the following to
say: (paraphrased) “People need to keep clean fields. A lot of people
are saying the lack of rain had a large impact on the survival rates, but
I believe that if people listened to the technician and kept their fields
clean like mine they would have survived despite the lack of rainfall.”
The goal of the social team is early participation in the process is to
both improve producer group cohesion, promote intercropping and
to increase the commitment level of community participation in the
adoption of best practices for post-planting of coconut seedlings
and adoption of techniques for producing alternative crops.
Sironge Success story “Post Planting Care”: Mr. Isaac Narcisio is married
with four children. He has lived in Sironge since his birth and
sustains his family through farming. He received 45 seedlings. The
secret of his success is that they were planted in the same plot of land
where he has his cassava. Therefore when it is time for weeding the
new coconut plants were automatically included . Isaac informed us
that he is aware of the benefits of coconuts “Home consumption,
selling in order to buy consummables that I do not produce at home
such as salt, clothing and pay school fees”. “I take care of my new
plants with hope that they will help me in future or the future of my
children”.
