Promotion of Citizenship in Vulnerable Groups of Rural Communities of Manica Province The present project, proposed by the Diocesan Commission for Justice and Peace of Chimoio, falls within the objectives of CDJP Chimoio, regarding the formation of the vulnerable groups to develop the spirit of active citizenship with a view to protecting human rights and promoting justice and Peace, as stated in the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church.

The province of Manica, is mostly made out of people residing in rural areas greatly affected by poverty, poor access to public basic services. This province houses approximately 1,359,923 inhabitants (2006), distributed in 10 Districts. The poor knowledge of laws and opportunities to participate in political actions, worsened by poor schooling and lack of motivators of political action for the most affected layers by poverty puts communities vulnerable to conflicts of various kinds, including inheritance, lands, waters with minimal access to public services. The latest developments in the political, economic and social life require the need for more information and motivation of communities to be more active in the fight for their rights. For example, women and children have often been victims of heritage ilegal disposal as well as communities in general lose their lands, their livelihood base, without just compensation.

The Diocese of Chimoio, with 15 parishes, where they have established pastoral ministries, including the Justice and Peace, which operates in the formation and conscientization of local communities about their rights. The commission has a coordination structure that ensures information of retro-information to and from upper church structures, as well as government agencies and civil society.
The commission has received support from CAFOD, ABG Programme in the last three years and has leveraged the capabilities of its structures in 04 districts of the province. However, given this support, they face challenges to go far with the limited capacity of their coordination structure to make the proper and necessary monitoring and a continued training of new members - made that members are volunteers, who are always in a dynamic move in search of better life opportunity outside their places of origin. Moreover, the Commission needs establish equal capacity in the remaining districts of the province/Diocese.

This project aims at, firstly strengthen the capacities of CDJP to train and monitor the work of their parish communities and, in the second place ensuring legal and civic education for active citizenship awareness of vulnerable groups, especially women, peasants , elderly and children from rural areas.
ECHO Mozambique Flood Recovery - Caritas Tete The flooding that occurred in early 2007 caused significant internal displacement of affected populations, loss of crops and livestock, and destruction of basic infrastructure. However, the flood risk in Zambezi River Valley is predictable. The project aims to meet the recovery needs of affected communities in Tete Province, with an overarching emphasis on disaster preparedness, acknowledging the inherent flood risk in the region and the need to strengthen local capacity to prepare for and manage this risk.

At the height of the flooding at the beginning of 2007, CAFOD and Caritas Mozambique worked to meet the immediate needs of vulnerable groups in the Zambezi River Valley, including Tete Province. This project seeks to provide assistance for thenext phase of recovery and rehabilitation, focusing on reducing future risk through improved water and sanitation provision, increased food security and strengthened local capacity in risk mitigation. Throughout the project, the community level capacity will be strengthened through support to traditional coping mechanisms and securing productivity. The project will target flood-affected households and communities. In all cases the most vulnerable will be targeted. This long-term view will seek to accompany communities through appropriate rehabilitation and development processes towards reduced risk and preparedness for future floods.

Disaster preparedness and risk reduction are long term objectives and it is acknowledged that significant impact in this sector will not result from this short project. However, this project sits within a wider recovery and disaster preparedness programme covering four affected provinces in the Zambezi River Valley, in which CAFOD and Caritas Mozambique will support flood-affected communities through a 3-year intervention.
Land event in Niassa Province - Mozambique Policies of Mozambican Government in support of agrarian, industrial and forest development are supporting the development of forestry/agriculture or extraction of natural resources on a concession basis to foreign companies.
Despite Mozambique having one of the most favorable land law defending the rights of people who inhabit/use that land, in the past few years, the concessionaries have been allowed to bypass the regulations of that law with what seems total impunity.

All over the country, communities, depending on land for their survival and development, find themselves facing occupation of their lands by companies that were granted concessions by the council of Ministers.

Already several INGO, and NGOs have started actions to support communities in the defense of their land.

CAFOD is organising an event with the objective to bring together communities/groups that were affected by these issues, in order to present, discuss and study what has happened at the basis, and how communities have tried,with or without success to defend their land.

the data collected during this event should allow CAFOD to define what gaps  in  the support to these communities still exist, and to define an organised action , with partners/other stakeholders and the affected communities to improve the defense of their land
Emergency Response Cyclone Idai Phase 2, Mozambique Tropical Cyclone Idai made landfall during the night of 14 to 15 March 2019 near Beira City, Sofala Province, in central Mozambique. The cyclone brought torrential rains and winds to Sofala, Zambezia, Manica and Inhambane provinces.  The cyclone caused loss of life and significant damage to infrastructure in Beira and surrounding areas. The official death toll caused by Cyclone Idai stands at 602 people, with more than 1,600 people injured, according to the Government. Communicable diseases are on the rise, of particular concern are cholera and malaria. More than 1,85 million people are still in need and over 67,000 live in resettlement camps (62 active) all across the 4 provinces. The needs in the resettlement camps are imense in terms of shelter, health, education and employment. The 20 active camps in Sofala shelter more than 32,000 people, with many children not having access to education.   
Phase 2 builds on Phase 1 (MOZ376) as emergency relief phase is moving towards medium to long-term recovery ensuring families are more resilient and children are back in school. Efforts will be concentrated in resettlement camps, in particular Mutua, and activities in NFI distributions, education vouchers distribution, creation of CFS and protection activities, cash for work and livelihoods will be held to ensure that HHs can regain autonomy over their finances. 

Outcome A: Vulnerable households have access to early recovery NFI
Outcome B: Vulnerable children in Mutua camp and Nhamatanda district have access to vouchers for education
Outcome C: Vulnerable households have access to PSEA measures through awareness campaigns and child friendly spaces for children 
Outcome D:Vulnerable people are better prepared to resist and overcome disasters with their own means and increasing their resilience
Preventing and combating trafficking in Human Organs and Body Parts in Mozambique This project aims to contribute to prevent and combat trafficking in persons, human organs and body parts in Mozambique by increasing the level of access to information in communities and raising their awareness through the implementation of campaigns and advocacy actions led by bishops in Mozambique and neighboring countries. As basis of this work, CEMIRDE will also conduct a research in the northern of the country (covering 90% of the border territory) to have a better understanding on how cases are occurring to promote the adoption of measures by local authorities to prevent, investigate and prosecute cases. Furthermore, there will be exchanges of experience between bishops from neighboring countries with the police force and between interfaith religious leaders to share best practices, lessons learned and promote joint coordinate work to combat this crime.  Finally, a TV reportage will be produces with regard to vulnerable children living in the streets.
Sekeleka Motaze III (Rise Up Motaze) Since 2002, OIKOS’ has been working in the Motaze region of Magude District, Maputo Province to reduce peoples’ vulnerabilities to issues of poverty. OIKOS’ principal strategy has been to enhance household level food security through increased activities to diversify agricultural production and increase family income to absorb shocks during critical periods of food shortages.  In light of the high prevalence of  HIV/AIDS in the region (at least 22%), OIKOS incorporated additional activities in 2004 to reduce families’ vulnerability to HIV and its impact, particularly in terms of improving nutritional practices and providing home based visits for people living with HIV/AIDS. Their project activities have so far reached around 3000 families in the area.  The rising rate of the epidemic calls for stepping up these interventions. OIKOS proposes a 2-year project to consolidate previous activities and launch new approaches to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on families’ food insecurity particularly on the most vulnerable groups like orphaned and vulnerable children, widows, and HIV-positive individuals. Joint programme activities with other CAFOD Mozambique thematic HIV/AIDS/Livelihoods programme partners are included, aiming to further consolidate CAFOD’s programme in this areas.
CRIANÇA E MULHER LIVRE DE COVID-19 – Por uma saúde e acompanhamento Inclusiva On the past 30 March 2020, the first state of emergency was declared in Mozambique in response to the first cases of infection in the country. The economic instability associated to this situation pushed thousands of people,  with no means to survive, to embrace informal commercial activities, estimating that only in the city of Maputo, between 25,000 and 30,000 people practice this kind of activity. According to the register of vendors at least 22,000 vendors carry out their activities in the markets, some of which are highly congested, making them a real potential focus for the spread of COVID-19. Urgent measures must therefore be taken to mitigate the possible impacts of a rapid dissemination of the Coronavirus in the markets as well as in the neighborhoods surrounding formal and informal shopping centers.
On the one hand, there are in the neighborhoods and markets high numbers of children and women in vulnerable situations at risk of contamination as they try to sustain their lives through commercial exchanges in the markets and on the streets. 
Despite the context, fairs and markets continue to operate normally.  At the same time, it is urgent to have an intervention plan to reduce the health risk of sellers, as well as users, in order to minimize COVID-19 impact on this group of people exercising this informal commercial activity in the neighbourhoods and in the Xipamanine market.

Educando para a Cidadania in Mozambique The project was designed starting from the findings and lessons learnt during the observation of the 2023 local elections and taking into account the phenomena associated with this process, characterized by the high turnout and dissatisfaction with the results; there is a risk that in future electoral processes there will be a lot of abstention. The Project is designed to mitigate the impact of abstention and the potential spread of violence in Mozambique. It's important that young people and women don't give up on participating in Mozambique's political decisions and that this is important for their lives. they can engage in the peaceful choice of their rulers, and democratic institutions must serve these interests. With the implementation of the actions related to this project, it is hoped that the level of abstentions will be reduced and that young people and women will feel encouraged to participate actively in the construction of Mozambique's democratic society.
Esperança do Idoso - Projecto de Produção Agrícola The Parish of St. Peter Chissano is located in the Administrative Post of Chissano, Bilene District. It is located in a rural area, the economic base of families is subsistence agriculture, which depends on the rainy season. In this administrative post, the only products produced are those that rely on the rainy season, such as maize, cassava, sesame but the deriving income is very low.

Products that need constant water for growing are not produced in this area, they are imported from other districts. Agricultural production is not enough to meet the demand of the inhabitants of this administrative post.

This project aims to integrate the work that the parish and communities have been conducting through the Ministry of Charity, to monitor and support a group of old abandoned people, by providing food, clothing and home based care.  There are many old people in this Chissano administrative post who live alone due to cultural disinformation: they are accused of witchcraft, in some cases they are killed in others they are isolated from the rest of the family and abandoned.
Construindo um empreendedor para Vida: fortalecendo a cultura de trabalho e promovendo o Saber Fazer The Project aims at contributing to the socio-economic development of the city of Maputo, through strengthening entrepreneurial initiatives and the know-how of young people, interconnecting and creating synergies and exchange experiences in the business world. 200 young men and women (1:1 women/men), 18-30 years old living in the Nhlamankulo District who do not have formal work or their own start-up business. Participants will be selected based on vulnerability criteria and economic and social conditions, ensuring that at least 50% are women.
Young people entering the workforce will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to enter formal employment or begin their own enterprises, reducing dependence on informal work. The root causes of gender inequality will be addressed to remove barriers facing women. 
To achieve this, participants will strengthen their technical, life and soft skills to participate in the demands of Maputo’s marketplace, for example to understand and meet consumer demand for products and services. As training alone will not guarantee the outcome, our partner Office of Support to the Entrepreneur (“OSE”) will be supporting young people in either (1) Entrepreneurship: developing business plans, receive start-up materials, and be connected to funding opportunities. (2) Accessing Employment: Developing a job register, linking jobseekers to hiring SMEs, and supporting job applications. An internship programme with local SMEs will build jobseekers’ experience.
Segurança alimentar e sanitária às comunidades rurais da Diocese de Nacala. The work to be carried out consists of building the capacity of local producers and implementing the production of vegetables through rural family gardens and the promotion of goats through the loan of animals. In the producer groups where these initiatives have already been implemented, the aim is to improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of the families through the construction of improved latrines (with cement lid and crate).
In particular, the goat credit programme consists of a loan of three animals to each of the pre-selected families (two females and one male), which, after reproduction, reimburses three animals. This process is preceded by training for the peasants, which addresses issues such as corral construction, food management and sanitation. The reimbursed animals are then lent to other families through a goat livestock management committee. Each family will sign the respective loan contract.
In the implementation of the gardens, particular attention will be paid to the use of natural techniques and fertilizers, which allow the development of organic agriculture (limiting the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides) as well as the application of sustainable techniques avoiding practices with high environmental impact such as "uncontrolled burning" and indiscriminate cutting of trees, phenomena that are very common in this area. 
In both areas (animal husbandry and family gardens), training will therefore be organized both in the field and in the residential areas of the respective parishes.
Evaluation of Episcopal Health Comision (CES) and Performance and Review of their Strategy Plan This project aims at assessing pertinence of CES and their fitness to the actual dynamic of civil society in the HIV and Health sectors On the other hand this will assess the level of implementation of CES strategic plan (2009-2011) and update. This work will also provide inputs to define clear strategic priorities (in framework) for the coming five years.
Monitoring of PESODs (District Economic and Social Plan and Budget) Mozambique continues to face enormous challenges that call attention to the need for more effective support especially for planning, monitoring, evaluation and coordination. Non-state actors such as CSO are therefore important resources in contributing for the achievement of National Development Goals. 

The Government is aware of the importance of citizen’s participation and has created formal Forums where Civil Society, Private Sector and all other non-state actors are called to participate (CC’s and DO’s). The participants have little capacity to take advantage of these spaces and turn them into dynamic opportunities to contribute to local development.

This Project will build on the experience and lessons learned from four years of implementation of the FBO – Monitoring PESOD Project, funded by ABG, to continue to strengthen the capacity of CDMPPs members and communities in the districts, to enable their effective participation in the governance processes and policy dialogue. In order to consolidate the process, the project will emphasize strengthening citizens capacity, specifically their advocacy, RBM/PM, budget issues and national planning tools and cycles capacities much needed to plan, monitor, report and review policies and programs. It will also provide citizens with required analytical tools, techniques and resources to accompany and monitor Governance processes, and will work towards contributing to an enabling environment for transparent and accountable service delivery.
Niassa Integrated HIV and AIDS Programme - UNAC UNAC’s - National Union of Small Scale Farmers project is part of a wider programme in Niassa Province, the Niassa Integrated HIV&AIDS Programme. The project envisages empowering and improving the capacity of the marginalized people, small scale farmers, specially those affected with HIV and AIDS,  to mitigate the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic through food security and nutrition interventions, rise awareness and improve the knowledge. The project expects to bring improvements in the nutritional status of the PLWHA, Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC) and to the wider community; it also envisages to contribute to the reduction of the level of new infections of HIV amongst  small farmers, youth and women as well as to open opportunities for the communities to familiarize with main legislation in order to defend their rights in land and delivery  of basic services into the communities, education of OVC. It will also intend to empower local organizations, particularly the community based organisations (CBO’s) concerned with the HIV&AIDS pandemic.

The project’s main strategies will be on capacity building of local/traditional leaders, on issues related with HIV prevention; home base care - including traditional medicine, and the use of communication strategies for information dissemination in local language.  
Specifically for agriculture, it will promote easy production techniques for farmers namely (use of simple irrigation systems, use of manure and pesticide produced locally, veterinary assistance and develop a micro funds for livelihoods and other initiatives).
