                         I.   Project Context
                              Country Context
                              Mozambique is located on the east coast of Africa, bordering six countries. With an area of 800,000
                              square kilometers, the country is richly endowed with natural resources (arable land, forests,
                              fisheries, water and mineral resources).

                              Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world with approximately 70% of its 22.9
                              million people living and working in extreme poverty (<US$2/day). In 2007, 38% of the population
                              was undernourished and only 42% had access to an improved water source. The country ranks 178
                              out of 187 in the UNDP’s Human Development Index (2013), the lowest in southern Africa. Over
                              70% of the population live in rural areas and are dependent on subsistence agriculture.

                              After emerging from a protracted fifteen-year civil war, Mozambique achieved impressive GDP



                                                                        Page 1 of 10
                         growth rates that averaged approximately 8% between 1993 and 2010, and slightly decreased to
                         7.4% in 2012. Annual GDP growth is expected to be around 8.5% by 2015. The real GDP per
                         capita almost doubled since 1992, making Mozambique one of the best performing countries over

                         The country is receiving a significant influx of direct foreign investments. In 2013 the Centre for
                         Investment Promotion (CPI) approved US$4.2 billion for 515 projects, with US$ 569.7 million
                         relating to domestic investment and US$ 2.2 billion to shareholders and loans. Overall, the
                         industrial sector has generated greater interest by investors, followed by agriculture and agro-
                         industry, transport and communications, services, tourism and hospitality, construction and
                         fisheries.

                         This rapid economic growth has not translated into rural poverty reduction in recent years. The
                         2008-09 household survey suggests that the response of poverty reduction to economic growth has
                         weakened and the geographical distribution of poverty continues to be concentrated in the rural
                         areas, mostly in the center and northern part of the country, with high rates of poverty along the
                         coast line.

                         Sectoral and institutional Context
                         Mozambique’s Conservation Areas contain a wide diversity of habitats including montane,
                         woodland, wetland and coastal/marine ecosystems. Mozambique has over 5,500 plant species, 222
                         mammal species, and 600 bird species. A high number of these species are endemic. Its coastline is
                         unique in the East African Marine Region in terms of the quality, diversity and species richness,
                         including some of the most spectacular coral reefs in the world. Some of the most important
                         biodiversity areas are adjacent to Conservation Areas (CAs) in neighboring countries. These areas
                         often play an important role in protecting wildlife corridors for both marine and terrestrial species,
                         for example of whale sharks and African elephants.

                         Mozambique’s system of CAs has two purposes: to conserve ecosystems, wild habitats, biological
                         diversity and natural resources for the benefit of present and future generations; and secondly, to
                         contribute to the development and the social-economic well-being of Mozambicans, particularly the
                         poor communities that live nearby. It is currently made up of seven National Parks, ten National
                         Reserves, seventeen controlled hunting areas (coutadas) and two Community Reserves. The
                         currently gazetted CAs cover 18.5 million hectares, which represent 23% of the country's land
                         surface. Annex 10 presents a map of all CAs in the country, including those targeted by the MozBio
                         project. The expansion of the CAs network in recent years was the result of government's
                         commitment to the international agreements (e.g. as signatory to the Convention on Biological
                         Diversity and CITES) and support from its development partners. The recent creation of new CAs
                         (e.g. Ponta d'Ouro Marine Reserve, Lake Niassa Reserve, Magoe National Park and five new
                         coutadas) and the improvement in the management effectiveness of some CAs is the result of the
                         successful partnership between the government and many key national and international players
                         over the past 15 years, including among others, the World Bank, IFC, GEF, AfD, KfW and USAID.

                         Conservation Areas have been generating income to the national economy and to local
                         communities, albeit not at the level they could. The declared revenue generation from tourism
                         (including both non-consumptive tourism and sports hunting) in CAs almost tripled from 2012 to
                         2013, from around US$ 1 million in 2012 to almost US$ 3 million in 2013 (Rylance, 2014). The



                                                                    Page 2 of 10
                         revenues from Coutadas increased by nearly 500% in this period, particularly because of a
                         significant increase in the price of licenses and abate tickets (applied in 2013) as well as the
                         commencement of a number of new Coutadas. However, the revenue currently captured from

                         tourism and hunting is largely insufficient to finance the management of CAs. In addition, the
                         levels of re-investment of Park-generated revenues are very low. As a result, CAs are still heavily
                         dependent on donor funding and mechanisms to contribute to financial sustainability are sorely
                         needed.

                         Poverty rates are extremely high across the population living within and around CAs. More than
                         70% of Mozambique’s poor live in rural areas and poverty is particularly acute along much of
                         Mozambique’s coast and in the drier central and southern regions where the vast majority of the
                         population is considered poor. It is these areas where the majority of the country’s CAs are located.
                         Many CAs are characterized by high forest cover and high poverty rates, especially those in the
                         central and the northeast coastal regions of the country, or harbour important marine resources.
                         These forests and marine areas supply basic needs for large numbers of people and strengthening
                         their condition could provide opportunities for the rural poor to move out of poverty.

                         Conservation Areas are an important source of livelihood to rural populations and their contribution
                         to poverty reduction can be increased. National legislation mandates that the benefits arising from
                         the use of CAs should be shared with local communities (currently 16% of overall income
                         generated from the fees collected by the CAs) . Nevertheless, the implementation of this policy has
                         been ad hoc and faced challenges since the fees collected by the National Tourism Institute
                         (INATUR) are first sent to the Treasury in Maputo, then back to the CAs to be shared with the
                         communities, which results in significant delays and lack of transparency. Communities are often
                         not well organized to manage these resources in a transparent way and to allocate them to longer-
                         term development goals. Communities also benefit directly from employment in tourism
                         establishments, and indirectly through the development of local businesses supplying tourism
                         operations (Moye & Nazerali 2010). Finally, communities also benefit from the environmental

                         Conservation, tourism and poverty and interlinked. Tourism and other conservation-oriented
                         income-generating activities create incentives towards conservation among local communities and
                         local governments, which in turn reduces the pressure on natural resources. Tourism, provision of
                         vital ecosystem services, and infrastructure are three mechanisms that have been identified as
                         linking both forest and marine protected areas to poverty alleviation. Nature-based tourism, in
                         particular, has been widely touted for its potential to deliver positive results for the poor. Recent
                         research provides strong evidence for this link in diverse developing country contexts. Nature-
                         based tourism links the conservation and poverty reduction objectives of CAs by providing an
                         economic alternative to unsustainable use of natural resources, as well as a direct economic
                         incentive to maintain the natural ecosystems and their biodiversity. Other benefits from CAs to
                         local communities, such as sharing the CA entrance fees with surrounding communities, also
                         improve their living standards while directly contributing to conservation. Finally, improved
                         infrastructure for CAs management and tourism can also lead to jobs, improved market access, and
                         delivery of health services and educational opportunities.

                         Tourism is an important source of revenue to conservation, growth, and rural poverty reduction in
                         Mozambique. The direct contribution of travel and tourism to Mozambique’s GDP in 2013 was
                         MZN13.9 billion (3.2 % of GDP). This was expected to reach MZN 26.3 billion in 2024. This is a


                                                                   Page 3 of 10
                         result of the economic activity generated by hotels, travel agents, airlines and other passenger
                         transportation services (excluding commuter services), and activities of the restaurant and leisure
                         industries directly supported by tourists. Between 2007 and 2013, tourism arrivals to Mozambique
Public Disclosure Copy




                         increased by 15 % annually from about 1.3 million to almost 2 million (generating estimated
                         receipts of US$231 million in 2011). Arrivals are projected to continue to increase at about 8 %
                         annually to reach 3 million in 2017.

                         Targeted policies need to be put in place to ensure that environmentally-sustainable pro-poor
                         tourism is achieved. This should include training and credit targeted at local communities and
                         incentives for the private sector to employ local labor. Tourism directly, and through linkages to
                         transport, agriculture, food, retail, financial services, and construction sectors, offers compelling job
                         creation and economic growth opportunities, particularly to rural population, which directly
                         contributes to the reduction of rural poverty. Tourism’s impact on poverty is linked to the fact that
                         the sector: (i) employs more unskilled labor than other sectors; (ii) can be based on cultural and
                         natural resources which the poor possess and personify; and (iii) benefits tourists and residents alike
                         when infrastructure is upgraded.

                         Some of Mozambique’s terrestrial and coastal CAs have high potential to contribute to the growth
                         in tourism. Nature-based and sustainable coastal tourism are expected to be the largest growth areas
                         in the coming decades (World Travel and Tourism Council, 2014). Tourism is already the third
                         largest investment sector in Mozambique, with investments concentrated on coastal CAs.

                         Growth in the tourism sector faces significant barriers. The country is still highly uncompetitive in
                         the international tourism market. In the overall country rankings for tourism competitiveness,
                         Mozambique ranked 125th out of 140 countries in 2013, an improvement of 3 places since the last
                         edition in 2011 (Blanke and Chiesa, 2013). This low competitiveness is mainly the results of the
                         poor infrastructure development, low basic services in the country, high domestic air fare costs and
                         unclear government procedures for the private sector to invest. Nature-based tourism, particularly
Public Disclosure Copy




                         the terrestrial CAs, is also affected by reduced charismatic wildlife populations (if compared to
                         neighboring countries) as a result of the country’s long civil war.

                         The GoM is actively addressing these barriers. In April 2003, the GoM adopted a National Tourism
                         Policy and Implementation Strategy (NTPIS), which aimed to develop and promote tourism both as
                         a major industry and as a tool to alleviate poverty. A Strategic Plan for Tourism Development in
                         Mozambique (2004 -2013) was prepared in October 2004, which targeted over 4 million tourists a
                         year (SPDTM, 2004). The 2014 - 2024 Strategic Plan is currently being prepared by the Ministry of
                         Tourism to build on achievements to date, and should be ready by the end of 2014. It places strong
                         emphasis on nature-based tourism, and highlights the coastal CAs as those with the highest
                         potential for increased tourism.

                         Despite their potential to contribute to national growth and poverty reduction, Mozambique’s CAs
                         still face various threats. These include illegal mining and logging, agricultural encroachment,
                         illegal hunting (especially of elephants) and overfishing. The overall estimated costs of
                         environmental degradation in Mozambique, amounted to nearly US$370 million in 2009 (MICOA,
                         2009). Of this, some US$50 million per annum comprises depletion of the natural resource base
                         (soil degradation and deforestation).

                         Wildlife poaching is a particularly challenging threat to conservation. As elsewhere in the region,


                                                                     Page 4 of 10
                         Mozambique has not escaped the poaching onslaught for ivory. Over the last 5 years there has been
                         a 5 – 6 fold increase in the number of elephant deaths as a result of poaching. Ivory is often
                         transported out of the country either through its porous borders or through airports and ports.. The

                         causes that have led to these high levels of poaching and illegal trade are complex. Some factors
                         include poverty at the local level, governance at the national level, weak control capacity at the
                         Conservation Area level (Mozambique has approximately one scout per 315 km2 which is 6 times
                         lower than the recommended patrol effort) and the demand for ivory and rhino horns at the global
                         level (Madyo Couto, 2014) .

                         CAs are not financially sustainable at present. They are funded primarily from four sources: i)
                         Annual government budget allocation; ii) Other government allocation, including special grants; iii)
                         Internal revenue generating activities, such as tourism; and iv) Donor funding provided by
                         development partners. Donor funding accounts for 80% of current CAs revenue requirements,
                         which is estimated at US$ 20.8 million / year (UNDP, 2010). Tua and Nazerali (2010) estimated
                         that only 1% of total revenue requirements for CAs were provided by the central government,
                         mainly for operational expenses. Internal revenue generating activities still only cover a small
                         portion of the financial requirements for CAs, even though it is increasing and still has significant
                         untapped potential. The main potential sources of revenue-generating activities in CAs include: i)
                         User fees (such as entry fees, accommodation, fishing fees, guided tours and diving fees); ii) Fees
                         from licenses for use of natural resources (timber concessions, live game sales and hunting
                         concessions); iii) Income from nature-based tourism concessions; and, iv) Income from fines and
                         auction sales of confiscated goods (predominantly timber).

                         MozBio Program – A Platform to promote Conservation, Growth and Poverty Reduction

                         The GoM has requested WB assistance to implement the MozBio Program - an ambitious long-term
                         Program that brings biodiversity conservation, tourism development and poverty reduction together.
                         The MozBio Program should serve as a platform to address the threats to the conservation of

                         Mozambique’s natural capital, take full advantage of the potential tourism growth in Mozambique,
                         and contribute to the reduction of the high poverty levels around CAs. This MozBio Program draws
                         from the lessons of the previous Trans Frontier CAs (TFCA) Program .

                         Mozambique's institutions and policies for CAs and tourism development need to be strengthened
                         and implemented effectively. The institutional and policy framework for tourism development to
                         manage Mozambique's CAs system, built with the support of TFCA II, are still quite new and
                         require significant technical assistance and support to ensure that the new laws, policies and
                         institutions are fully implemented. Additional rules and regulations need to be developed.
                         Furthermore, most terrestrial CAs do not yet have sufficiently attractive products, or a level of
                         public infrastructure, to scale up tourism. With insufficient and unpredictable budget and low
                         human resources capacity, most of these CAs lack the effective management regime and much
                         needed infrastructure investments for tourism development. Communities are not adequately
                         trained and organized to benefit from CAs and nature-based tourism. Tourism development
                         requires improved basic infrastructure and access to areas with potential tourism attraction,
                         improved tourism investment promotion and facilitation and clear and simplified tourism licensing
                         and registration procedures.

                         The MozBio Program will address these challenges through six strategic pillars (Table 1). i)
                         Strengthening the policy and legal framework for CAs; ii) Strengthening the institutional and


                                                                   Page 5 of 10

                             and MICOA; iii) Developing financial sustainability of CAs through innovative funding
                             mechanisms (such as operatilizaing Biofund’s endowment fund and tapping into the potential of

                             biodiversity and carbon offsets); iv) Improving the management effectiveness of CAs; v)
                             Increasing the contribution of CAs to poverty reduction and strengthen community participation in
                             CA management, as a strategy to promote conservation; and; vi) Increasing the contribution of CAs
                             to economic growth through nature-base tourism programs and activities. The MozBio Program
                             will focus on marine or coastal CAs which have most potential to generate revenues from tourism,
                             and will broaden the options of nature-based tourism products to sport hunting (including
                             community-managed hunting areas). The MozBio Program will be financed with GoM’s resources
                             and support from various donors (AFD, KFW, USAID, international NGOs, among others).

                             The WB will provide support to the MozBio Program through a ‘Series of Projects (SoP)’. MozBio
                             Phase 1, presented in this Project Appraisal Document (PAD), will be a four-year project with a
                             focus on increasing revenues from nature-based tourism and on promoting rural poverty reduction
                             by sharing the revenues from tourism and promoting conservation-oriented livelihood opportunities.

                             MozBio 1 will implement the new institutional framework for conservation in Mozambique, with a
                             strong emphasis on building the capacity of the recently-established CAs Management Agency
                             (ANAC) and the Biodiversity Foundation (Biofund), while strengthening the management of key
                             CAs with the highest potential for generating revenue and reducing poverty in rural communities.
                             The project will promote nature-based tourism by improving regulations, strengthening government
                             capacity and promoting the sector. The project will also finance sorely needed infrastructure and
                             some of the recurrent costs of existing CAs to ensure they can attract tourism and manage
                             biodiversity adequately. Finally, project will strengthen communities’ rights to land and resources
                             and promote livelihood alternatives to local communities, such as improved agricultural methods
                             (such as climate smart agriculture techniques), community forest management and non-timber
                             forest products management and sustainable fisheries.

                             MozBio 1 is expected to create the foundations for future MozBio Program phases. Potential future
                             phases of the SoP would draw on lessons from the MozBio project. They would extend financial
                             and technical support to other CAs (including support to further infrastructure development) and
                             scale up the support to local communities, particularly by providing more technical and financial
                             support to scale up those income-generating activities shown to be viable in Phase 1.

                             The project will be implemented by MITUR. MITUR’s internal capacity to implement the proposed
                             project has been strengthened over the years through TFCA I and II projects. The MozBio Project
                             Implementing Unit, which will build on the existing TFCA Unit with some changes in staffing, will
                             be responsible for leading the implementation of MozBio. Other entities, including ANAC,
                             BioFund, MICOA as well as community-level organizations, will implement specific activities of
                             the project. Details are provided in Annex 3.

                             The main responsibilities of the MozBio Unit will include: i) ensuring proper fiduciary management
                             (financial management and procurement); ii) overseeing the preparation and implementation of
                             annual operating plans; iii) managing the project monitoring system (collecting and processing data
                             and reporting, including through annual reports); v) ensuring compliance with the project legal
                             agreements (including subsidiary agreements); vi) securing compliance with WB safeguards in
                             collaboration with other entities implementing project activities; vii) providing strategic
                             communication for the project.

                             B. Results Monitoring and Evaluation

                             Project Monitoring and Evaluation will be carried out in three areas: a) Financial Monitoring; b)
                             Monitoring of implementation and management of the targeted conservation areas and national level
                             agencies; c) Environmental Monitoring.

                             Financial monitoring will be carried out by MozBio Unit, which is responsible for approving and
                             tracking the use of funds. Working closely with the Administration and Finance Directorate of
                             ANAC, the Project Unit will keep records of: (i) the funds spent in each conservation area by
                             component; (ii) ongoing revisions of planned distribution based on progress achieved in meeting
                             targets; (iii) comparative analysis of quality and cost of goods and services; and (iv) an independent
                             financial audit carried out each year. The system will be based on that currently being used by
                             TFCATDP.

                             The monitoring of implementation and management of the targeted protected areas and national
                             level agencies will be coordinated by ANAC in collaboration with the Project PIU. Monitoring
                             under ANAC is the responsibility of the Department of Planning and Monitoring, which is located
                             under the Directorate for Studies and Development. These units will: (i) at the strategic level,


                                                                        Page 8 of 10
                               evaluate and update as needed the project objectives and targets in the project results matrix; (ii) at
                               the management level, further develop and implement the METT (the GEF Management
                               Effectiveness Tracking Tool, modified by the addition of specific marine MPA issues), the

                               Institutional development tools for ANAC and BIOFUND, and monitor performance against project
                               goals; and (iii) at the operational level, monitor the implementation of annual operating plans.

                               The environmental monitoring of the conservation areas will be coordinated by ANAC, with the
                               support of the project MozBio Unit. The biodiversity indicators will be based both on habitats and
                               species, and will be incorporated into the ANAC M&E system, focusing on (i) deforestation rates
                               and (ii) the population trends of two bio-indicator species per conservation area, in the targeted
                               conservation areas, and in the other areas wherever possible.
