More about the contribution
To respond to challenges related to communities low coping capacities to natural hazards, poor access to water and sanitation, and lack of livelihood opportunities in Mozambique's Manica Province, the Embassy if Sweden (EoS) is proposing to fund the Swedish Red Cross (SRC) and the Mozambiqan national society Cruz Vermelha Moçambique (CVM) with 57 392 199 SEK over a four year period. The project, Project for Resilience and Enhanced Preparedness and Action (PREPA), has the purpose of reducing risk and vulnerability to crisis considering the impact of climate change and environmental degradation. It will be a community-based intervention which includes disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, sustainable livelihoods as well as health and WASH. In order to apply a sustainable approach, a key component of the project will also be to develop and enhance the institutional capacity of CVM as a key national and local actor. A crisis modifier (CM) will be established, which will give SRC and CVM the possibility to respond in accordance with contextual changes in the project's intervention area (or immediate proximity). It's purpose is to reduce the risk of escalating humanitarian needs. The intention is that the CM mechanism will remain in use also after the completion of this project, and as such contribute to a strengthened national response capacity. The project will take place in 15 communities across three districts; Machaze, Mussorize and Sussundenga. Focus will be placed on women, girls, men and boys in communities most vulnerable to health risks, climate change risks and natural hazards. A participatory approach will be applied, placing focus on a community led intervention. The project will be implemented by CVM, with the support of SRC who will provide technical support, training and monitoring. Two to three delegates will be present in country across the project period.

Result
During 2023, the project's first year, SRC and CVM reached 7 310 individuals (3 977 men and 3 333 women). Outcome 1: One of the key activities was preparing for, and conducting the Enhanced Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (EVCA), in which for instance the main external risks and mitigation measures posed by each community was mapped. Across all 15 communities, the three main priority risks identified were cyclone, flood and drought, although there were slight variations among different districts. The proposed mitigation actions included preparedness measures such as training, simulation and provision for tools and equipment, but there was also community specific actions like the supply of drought resilient seeds, strengthening alternative livelihoods and replacing lost crops. SRC also lists the establishment of six Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM) committees as a main achievement under outcome 1. Outcome 2: As the activities were set for 2024, there were no activities to report for 2023. Outcome 3: Three boreholes were drilled in Mossurize, serving 3000 individuals with water. 600 latrines (of which 87 were adapted for elderly or people living with disabilities), were constructed across Mossurize and Machaze. Especially vulnerable community members who had difficulties constructing the latrines by themselves were selected for the first phase of construction, and received help in receiving slabs and in some cases also the excavation. Sanitation training based on the outcome of the EVCA was conducted in all 15 communities by sanitation committees and included information on e g malaria, cholera and diarrhoea prevention. Outcome 4: Being the goal associated with the strengthening of CVM and working to ensure that CVM can fulfil its auxiliary role in relation to the government in Mozambique within the humanitarian field, the project provided a number of trainings and workshops during 2023, incl. an assessment mapping strengths and weaknesses of CVM and its ability to respond in time of crisis and disaster, and trainings on for instance environmental and vulnerability assessments, and on key subjects including humanitarian principles, fraud and anti-corruption and psychological first aid. The bulk of the new rurally based CVM office, which will be used as a hub for joint trainings, expand outreach and attract more volunteers was completed.
The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the resilience of women and men of all ages and backgrounds, including those living with various disabilities, in targeted high-risk vulnerable communities in Manica province through improved livelihood opportunities, reduction of disaster risk as well as adaptation to climate change and climate/environment-related health challenges. This overall objective is underpinned by four outcomes, whereof which three are operational, and one of enabling nature; Outcome 1) Disaster risks/natural hazards: Increased capacity of women, men, girls and boys in the target communities to cope with, mitigate, prepare for, and respond to climate change and natural hazards (floods, cyclones and drought). Outcome 2) Livelihoods: Women, men, girls and boys in the target communities have improved or diversified livelihood opportunities through climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable livelihoods programming. Outcome 3) Health: Women, men, girls and boys most at risk in the target communities have improved health status. Outcome 4) Response and resilience programming capacities: CVM governance, staff and volunteers have the technical capacities to respond to emerging disasters and support community resilience. The project will target approximately 3000 households amounting to 15 000 people (approximately 51 % women and 49 % men) in 15 different communities which will be identified at the beginning of the project; 400 selected staff from CVM (HQ, province delegation in Manica and selected districts' delegations) including volunteers in the target communities (45 % women and 55 % men) and; communities in provinces eligible for the Simplified Early Action Protocol on Cholera (S-EAP-C) and Crisis Modifier Fund (CMF).
