Analysis of eligibility of area has been conducted for a few potential beneficiaries. - Community-forest operator partnerships (two in Zambezia) have been advancing, with 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 contracted and has begun work in the province. Component 2: Strengthening the Enabling Conditions for Sustainable Forest Management - National Land Use Plan work has initiated and national public consultations are underway. - The Senior Advisor for the law enforcement agency (AQUA) has begun work and will be implementing a pilot program and training in Zambezia in October. - 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 will be conducted in October 2018, by the same team that conducted the previous evaluations (in 2015 and 2016 respectively). 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 will be tested in October 2018 with a focus on forest plantations. Provincial safeguards specialists and extensionists will be trained soon after 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.
