In recent years, the Government of Mozambique has made substantive advances in the decentralization of governmental structures and processes. In line with this, efforts have also been made to decentralize disaster risk management and climate change adaptation actions in Mozambique. There has been the creation of provincial offices of INGC and MICOA, provincial and district level Emergency Operation Centres (COEs), and the creation and training of local risk management committees (CLGRC) and natural resources committees at community level. In addition, a guide has been produced on integration of climate change adaptation into district plans, and training on DRR and CCA concepts and planning has taken place at provincial and district levels.
The new UNDP project on “Strengthening national capacities and frameworks for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation” recognizes that Mainstreaming of DRR/CCA into sectorial plans and strategies remains crucial as it has not yet been completed in a comprehensive manner. In the context of this project, and in collaboration with the UNDP governance unit, work will be undertaken to ensure that DRR and CCA components are included in provincial and district development plans. To achieve the integration of DRR/CCA in provincial and district level planning, the project will prioritize the provinces of Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Gaza in order to benefit from synergies with the UNDP decentralization programme. Advisors placed in each of these provinces will work within the decentralized planning processes and frameworks to ensure that DRR and CCA concerns are reflected in the district development plans.
The Provincial Advisor, who will be housed at the Provincial Directorate of Planning and Finance (DPPF), will be under guidance of the Chief Technical Advisor and Programme Officer for DRR and Crisis Prevention and Recovery/Environment team. On the day-to-day basis, the advisor will be under the direct supervision of the Director of the DPPF, and in close collaboration with National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) and Provincial Directorate of Environmental Affairs (DPCA). The Provincial Advisor will be responsible for all disaster risk reduction/recovery and climate change activities at the designated province.
