Preparation of other activities is underway, as described below. The PIU, led by the FNDS / MITADER, is fully operational at central and provincial (Cabo Delgado and Zambezia) levels, and recruitment for additional staff is underway where capacity is needed. Component 1: Promoting Integrated Landscape Management - Community land delimitation is ongoing in the Zambezia province as planned. - The Multi-Stakeholder Landscape Forum in Zambezia is in the process of defining its vision for the landscape and finalizing their Activity Plan for 2019. The one in Cabo Delgado will have their first plenary meeting early next year, after an exchange with the Zambezia forum, while thematic groups have been meeting regularly. - Rehabilitation of the SPGC office is underway, but behind the agreed timeline. 1/8/2019 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Mozambique Forest Investment Project (P160033) - Beneficiaries for the planted forests grant scheme and agroforestry systems have been identified and georeferenced. Contracts with the planted forests grant scheme beneficiaries are expected to be signed before the end of the year. Analysis of eligibility of area has been conducted for a few additional potential beneficiaries. Agroforestry systems will be established in both provinces during this 2018/19 planting season. - Community-forest operator partnerships (two in Zambezia) have been advancing, with the forest management plans almost finalized and capacity building commencing this year with both communities. The partnerships in Cabo Delgado have been put on hold due to the safety situation in the province. - Service provider for sustainable charcoal production in Cabo Delgado has been hired. Component 2: Strengthening the Enabling Conditions for Sustainable Forest Management - National Land Use Plan work has initiated and national public consultations are underway. This activity is progressing very well. - Law enforcement. There have been delays in the establishment of the national law enforcement agency (AQUA) in practice and in the formalization of the provincial delegations, which would be the implementing units in the provinces. AQUA also lacks a strategy to guide their operations, so proposed activities are dispersed. This has led to delays in activities on the ground. The mission agreed that AQUA will prepare a detailed work plan for the activities in Zambezia. - FAO has initiated the implementation of activities for sustainable forest management. The preparation of the Agenda 2035 for the Forest Sector and National Forest Program are well under way. Forest Information System activities and the assessment on institutional capacity of DINAF have started. - The evaluation of forest operators and the forest governance assessment are underway and will be concluded by the end of 2018, by the same team that conducted the previous evaluations (in 2015 and 2016 respectively). The results will be available in the beginning of 2019. Component 3: Project Coordination and Management - The GRM is operational. Specialized trainings have been conducted and awareness raising with local communities is ongoing, with dissemination of communications materials. - The first FIP Monitoring and Reporting annual stakeholder workshop was held in May 2018 and the first annual report submitted to the Climate Investment Fund. - Safeguards under the planted forests grant scheme. A protocol for avoiding conversion of critical habitat has been finalized and was tested in October 2018 with a focus on forest plantations. Provincial safeguards specialists and extensionists have been trained on the application of the protocol. A land access protocol has also been finalized. A protocol for microbasin water monitoring is under development by the government which will be used for monitoring water in the plantation areas. Dialogue with IFC and Portucel is ongoing on the areas for partnership and continued collaboration.
