Objectives

The project will involve the distribution of 800 NFI kits to 800 people displaced by repeated conflict and drought in Merka Lower Shabelle region, beneficiaries will be targeted based on vulnerability criteria that will prioritize women headed households, the elderly and children headed households especially girls. The beneficiaries will be distributed equally with each benificiary getting NFI kit comprising 2Blanket, 1 Sleeping mat, 3 Soap bar, 1Kitchen knife, 2Cooking pots,1 Large spoon , 5Table spoon, 5Plates and 5 Metal. AYUUB will closely coordinate with Other Agencies distributing NFI's in the areas and start the project implementation with community consultations and coordination with Local Authority to identify vulnerable people displaced by the drought. This will include consultations with local authorities, community elders and host communities to identify and register the most vulnerable people for NFIs support. The project implementation will involve the following activities: 1. Market analysis: AYUUB will carry out two market analysis to determine the appropriate modality of the NFIs distribution 2. Beneficiaries registration: AYUUB will hold consultations with community members to jointly determine the targeting criteria, identify the most vulnerable and register beneficiaries for the NFIs and Shelter. AYUUB will prioritize the Most vulnerable people in the Targeted area . AYUUB will also target host communities to ensure that other vulnerable people within thetarget locations are also assisted based on needs and also avoid conflict between the host community and displaced people. 3. NFIs Throug In Kind distribution: AYUUB will distribute NFIs through in Kind distribution to 800 households (5200 people) who include 1200 women, 1100 men, 1600 girls, 1300 boys. The age and gender disaggregation is based on the demographic profile in Somalia and prioritization of women and girls who are the most affected by displacements. The actual gender and age breakdown will be reported once beneficiary registration is completed. AYUUB will promote the dignity of the beneficiaries by placing the decision of the content of priority NFIs in their best interests. The approach will empower displaced people in prioritizing needs and give them the power of making decisions for their needs. 4. AYUUB Will Construct 800 ESK emergency Shelter to 800 HH in Merka district and will be distributed to the same IDP HH received NFI Kits and Provide 800 Solar Lumps to 800 HH. 5. Post distribution monitoring: Each distribution will be followed with a post distribution monitoring toget feedback on the distribution process and utilization of the NFIs kits, one month after distribution. 6. AYUUB Will do Community consultations and Meetings to for the respective Communities from the Five IDP Settlements to support community consultations at the initial beneficiary identification and registration, and secure land tenure mainstreaming. 7. AYUUB will carry out settlement layouts and planning of settlements on leaving adequate spaces for necessary infrastructures including individual plot sizes, roads, WASH facilities, fire places. 8. AYUUB Will provide cash assistant Support for Construction of Shelter Kits to the targeted Communities and Will be trained 20 Community Manson’ on Basic construction of ESK (Emergency Shelter Kit)

General

The Climate Insurance, Finance and Resilience Project (CLINFIREP) seeks to promote the development of climate-resilient infrastructure and agricultural diversification using climate-smart agriculture practices to enhance Climate Resilience for sustained economic growth in Mozambique. The project also supports the Government national preparedness plan to reduce social vulnerability to drought through adoption of preventive insurance policies and programs and helping strengthen national capacity to respond to climate disasters. This is an important intervention as the effects and impacts of climate change are already being felt in the form of erratic and inadequate rainfall patterns and declining on-farm productivity. The total project cost is 33.94 million Units of Account (47.78 million dollars) and will be implemented over 5 years (2021-2026) in the 10 drought prone districts of the Maputo Province, Gaza and Inhambane Province. It builds on past investments by the Bank on drought resilience and is well aligned with the Government of Mozambique (GoM’s) priorities particularly the Disaster Risk Reduction, Emergency Fund, the National Adaptation Plans and the overall policy framework on climate change adaptation and mitigation. It is anticipated that the outcomes of the Project will increase GoM’s institutional capacity to develop climate proof integrated development programs and devise adequate climate insurance products, in the targeted areas in Mozambique. The CLINFIREP will also facilitate the participation of the country in the sovereign insurance pool of the African Risk Capacity (ARC) or other insurance mechanisms, which supports countries that experience climate shocks, including droughts and tropical cyclones.

Objectives

The CLINFIREP proposes to reduce the impact of climate events and strengthen the resilience capacity of communities and production systems to better cope with the effects of drought, which are exacerbated by rural poverty, food insecurity, and land degradation. The specific objectives of the project are: (i) to improve climate resilient infrastructure (ii) to promote climate-resilient income-generating activities and strengthen food security and nutrition and (iii)to enhance insurance mechanisms against climate-related disasters.

Target Groups

The Project will benefit the communities of the selected districts, displaced people in the Cabo Delgado Province, the Government at large, particularly the National Institute of Disaster Management (INGD), including the Disaster Management Fund (DMF), Food Security and Nutrition Secretariate (SETSAN), and Ministry of Public Works, Housing and Internal Waters (MOPH), Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC), Ministry of Land and Environment (MTA) and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER) and the respective agencies at provincial and district levels where the Project will be implemented, through additional capacity and, technical and financial resources, to address their development challenges. The direct beneficiaries of the Project interventions are anticipated at around 500,000 people affected by droughts in the Southern regions of the country, of which at least 54% are women and youth. While in the northern Mozambique, the project will support some of the displaced people that have been affected by the armed groups. Other indirect beneficiaries include the private sector, the agricultural marketing enterprises, commercial and investment Banks, farmers’ groups and their representatives at the farmers’ associations.

Objectives

The Circular Economy Regional Initiative project will address specific barriers to transitioning to circular economy in the Western Balkans and Turkey by catalysing the scale up of circular economy technologies and processes, as well as adoption of circular strategies and business practices.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.

Target Groups

1. The Project will deliver a range of social and environmental benefits associated with shifting to a circular economy from a linear economy such as:· Reduced materials, energy and water usage. · Decreased demand for new landfills resulting in improvement of land management practices, due to diversion of waste from landfills. Reduced leakages of plastics waste into the water bodies due to reduced landfilling of plastics. · Diversion of waste (especially plastics and chemicals) from landfills will indirectly contribute to increasing the area of landscapes under improved practices.· Reduced costs for companies due to improved production process and circular business models resulting in less dependence on virgin materials.· Improved reputation of the participating companies, which can result in their better positioning in the market.· Capacity building in the participating countries in terms of local know-how and implementation of international best practices resulting from the technical assistance provided under Component 2: Technical assistance for identification of circular economy technologies and processes, and strategy development.· Improved resilience concerning the economic crisis response to the COVID19 outbreak. Some economic effects of the outbreak include significantly disrupted value chains and logistics operations. Shifting to circular economy reduces overreliance on extraction of raw materials and mitigates exposure to supply chain risks to some extent. 2. The Project is anticipated to produce, where possible, other co-benefits consistent with the EBRD’s mandate to support transition. This includes acknowledging gender differences and improvements starting with tracking Project participation by gender. Collection of this type of social data provides input for transition towards equal opportunity. 3.
