Contract partner: NCBA CLUSA - National Cooperative Business Association CLUSA International Country: Mosambik Funding amount: € 300.000,00 Project start: 01.12.2021 End: 30.06.2024

Short Description:

Overall goal


The project aims to improve the impact of the national SUSTENTA programme on the food security and livelihoods of female and male smallholder farmers in Sofala and Inhambane by providing quantitative and qualitative data allowing for the evaluation and improvement of the programme.


Expected results


-) Relevant qualitative and quantitative data is collected and analyzed to provide concrete evidence of the impact of SUSTENTA´s Technology Transfer component on participating female and male farmers.


-) Evidence-based recommendations lead to adjustments to SUSTENTA's service provision interventions to improve its impact on female and male smallholder farmers in Sofala and Inhambane.

 


Target group / Beneficiaries


The direct beneficiaries of this project are the approximately 170 representatives of governmental institutions in charge of implementing SUSTENTA in Sofala and Inhambane at national, provincial and district level.


The indirect beneficiaries are the 11,200 female and male smallholder farmers (PAs) and female and male semi-commercial farmers (PACEs) in Sofala and Inhambane who receive support through the ADC contribution to SUSTENTA.

 


Activities


-) Creation of an independent body of qualitative and quantitative evidence that measures the impact of SUSTENTA's interventions on participating female and male smallholder farmers.


-) Establishment of feedback mechanism with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER) to periodically share findings and recommend adjustments to SUSTENTA´s service provision interventions to improve their impact.

 


Context


The SUSTENTA programme started in 2017 as a pilot intervention in the provinces Nampula and Zambezia funded by the World Bank to promote integrated sustainable rural development. In 2020 the programme was rolled-out at national level with the aim to integrate smallholder families into productive value chains. The decision to expand the programme nationally was done by the Government of Mozambique without solid evaluation of its impact. In early 2021 ADA signed a grant agreement with MADER providing 2.5 million EUR to SUSTENTA´s Technology Transfer component in Sofala and Inhambane Provinces. To address the lack of independent data and analysis on the quality and impact of the technology transfer on farmers receiving support from program it was considered essential to generate evidence on the impact of the programme on female and male smallholder farmers in the target area.

  • Policy marker: are used to identify, assess and facilitate the monitoring of activities in support of policy objectives concerning gender equality, aid to environment, participatory development/good governance, trade development and reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health. Activities targeting the objectives of the Rio Conventions include the identification of biodiversity, climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, and desertification.
    • 1= policy is a significant objective of the activity
    • 2= policy is the principal objective of the activity
  • Donor/ source of funding: The ADA is not only implementing projects and programmes of the Austrian Development Cooperation , but also projects funded from other sources and donors such as
    • AKF - Foreign Disaster Fund of the Austrian federal government
    • BMLFUW - Federal Ministry for Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water
    • EU - Funds of the European Commission
    • Others - various other donors are listed in ADA’s annual business report.
  • Type of Aid – Aid modalities: classifies transfers from the donor to the first recipient of funds such as budget support, core contributions and pooled programmes and funds to CSOs and multilateral organisations, project-type interventions, experts and other technical assistance, scholarships and student costs in donor countries, debt relief, administrative costs and other in-donor expenditures.
  • Purpose/ sector code: classifies the specific area of the recipient’s economic or social structure, funded by a bilateral contribution.
  • Tied/Untied: Untied aid is defined as loans and grants whose proceeds are fully and freely available to finance procurement from all OECD countries and substantially all developing countries. Transactions are considered tied unless the donor has, at the time of the aid offer, clearly specified a range of countries eligible for procurement which meets the tests for “untied” aid.
