We Effect ALCANCE  Moz 2023-2027 - We Effect ALCANCE  Moz 2023-2027- Phase 1 We Effect ALCANCE  Moz 2023-2027 ALCANCE (Programa de Alimentos, Clima, Agricultura, Natureza, Coordenacão e Empoderamento da Mulher) Projektets övergripande mål är att “bidra till att partnerorganisationer får ökad tillgång till produktiv mark, tillgång till och kontroll över produktionsmedel samt ökad kunskap hos kvinnor och småbruksbönder för att säkerställa rätten till näringsrik mat”. Utöver detta har projektet sex övergripande resultatområden: i) Effektivt skäligt och rättvist livsmedelsystem, ii) hållbar försörjning, iii) klimatförändringar och motstånd, iv) jämställdhet, v) skälig och rättvis tillgång till lämpliga bostäder och vi) starkare organisation.
ALCANCE projektet kommer, för att uppnå det övergripande målet och resultatet, fokusera på aktiviteter i tre provinser i norra Mocambique: Nampula, Niassa och Cabo Delgado. Huvudsätet för den övergripande programsamordningen för projektet kommer att vara We Effects kontor i Lichinga, Niassa. Genom att rikta in sig på de tre nordligaste provinserna i Mocambique, är det Sidas bedömning att projektet ligger väl i linje med det ökade geografiska fokus som Sveriges strategi för utvecklingssamarbete har valt att fokusera på.
Sedan 1991 har We Effect implementerat flertalet program i samband med det svenska utvecklingssamarbetet i Mocambique, med ett första fältkontor i den norra provinsen Niassa som genomförde insatser så som Programa de Apoio a Sociedade Civil -PASC (contribution ID 23000249) och Agricultura e Recursos Naturais - ARENA (contribution ID 51140056). Det största bilaterala samarbetet med den svenska ambassaden var genom Actions for an Inclusive and Accountable Governance (AGIR II), ett projekt som pågick mellan 2010–2020 och som hade följande delprogram: Natural Resources, Agriculture, Climate Change, and Environment (NACE). Vid implementering av NACE, förvaltade We Effect cirka 176 miljoner svenska kronor. År 2020, när AGIR II-programmet slutfördes, kom de överens om en förlängning av NACE-delprogram, till december 2021.
ALANCE projektet föreslås implementeras i två etapper. Budgeten för den första fasen som är på två år uppgår till totalt 75,8 MSEK / 456,44 MMZN (1 SEK = 6,017 MZN) och presenteras på kostnadsbasis med sex huvudsakliga rubriker: 66,7 % för fondöverföringar till partners vilket motsvarar 50,6 MSEK (312,2 MMZN) och 33,3 % motsvarande 25,2 MMSEK (144,2 MMZN) för We Effect ledda aktiviteter, övervakning och utvärdering, programpersonalskostnader, programstödskostnader samt administrationskostnader. Ambassaden bedömer att budgeten är rimlig i förhållande till målen och att den förser underlag för ett kostnadseffektivt genomförande av projektet.
Då samarbetspartnern kommer inkludera vidarebefordran av medel till tredje part (forwarding of funds) genom olika finansieringsformer, även om We Effect har system för planering, uppföljning, rapportering, utvärdering och lärande på plats, är det ambassadens analys att både den återkommande ekonomiska uppföljningen och den operativa uppföljningen av samarbetspartnerna behöver stärkas för att säkerställa att Sida-medel används på rätt sätt för att uppnå förväntade projektresultat.
Sammanfattningsvis bedömer Sida att effekten av ALCANCE bidraget lägger grunden för ett effektivt och rättvist system, hållbar försörjning, förbättrad jämställdhet och motståndskraftiga samhällen i förhållande till klimatförändringarna. Detta genom att partnerorganisationerna ges möjlighet att öka sin tillgång till produktiv mark, tillgång och bättre kontroll över produktionsmedlem samt öka kunskapen hos kvinnor och småbruksbönder om rätten till mat i de tre provinserna som projektet riktar sig till, Niassa, Nampula och Cabo Delgado. The overall aim of the ALCANCE (Programa de Alimentos, Clima, Agricultura, Natureza, Coordenacão e Empoderamento da Mulher) Contribution is "Empowered partner organisations for increased access to productive land, access, and control of means of production, and increased knowledge by women and stallholder farmers to ensure the right of nutritious food" and, has six overarching results areas (RA) namely: i) Effective equitable and just food systems, ii) Sustainable livelihoods, iii) Climate change and resilience, iv) Gender equality, v) Equitable and just access to adequate housing and vi) Stronger organization. 
To achieve the overall goal and results, the ALCANCE programme will focus its activities in three provinces located in the northern part of Mozambique namely: Nampula, Niassa and Cabo Delgado. We Effect will use its Lichinga Office in Niassa, as the main hub for the overall programme coordination. Sida assesses that the target provinces are well aligned with the increased geographic focus of the Swedish operationalisation plan. 
We Effect has been implementing several programmes related to Swedish Development cooperation in Mozambique since 1991, with its first field office in the northern province of Niassa on which implemented interventions such as the Programa de Apoio a Sociedade Civil -PASC (contribution ID 23000249) and the Agricultura e Recursos Naturais - ARENA (contribution ID 51140056).  The major bilateral partnership with the Swedish Embassy was through the Actions for an Inclusive and Accountable Governance (AGIR II) programme, 2010-2020 with its sub-programme entitled Natural Resources, Agriculture, Climate Change, and Environment (NACE). For the implementation of NACE, We Effect managed approximately 176 million Swedish Krona. In 2020 as AGIR II programme was being finalized, however an extension of the NACE sub-programme until December 2021 was agreed.
The ALCANCE programme is proposed to be implemented in two phases. The  budget for the first phase of  two years amounts to a total amount of 75, 8 MSEK / 456, 44 MMZN (1 SEK = 6,017 MZN),  is presented on a cost-basis with 6 main headers: 66,7% for Funds transfers to partners equal to 50,6 MSEK (312,2 MMZN) and  33,3% equal to 25,2 MMSEK (144,2 MMZN) for We Effect lead activities,  Monitoring and evaluation, Programme staff costs, Programme support costs and Administration overhead. The Embassy assesses that the budget is reasonable in relation to the objectives and provides for a basis for a cost-efficient implementation of the programme.
Since the cooperation partner will have a component of forwarding of funds to third parties’ trough different funding modalities, even though We Effect has systems for planning, monitoring, reporting, evaluation and learning in place, the Embassy's analysis is that both the recurring financial monitoring and operational monitoring of the partners need to be strengthened to ensure that Sida funding is applied properly to achieve the expected programme results.
In conclusion,  Sida assesses that the impact of the ALCANCE contribution, lay the ground for an effective, equitable and systems, sustainable livelihoods, improved gender equality and resilient communities to climate change through empowering partner organizations to increase their access to productive land, access and better control of the means of productions as well as increasing the knowledge by women and smallholders farmers about the right to food of three target provinces, Niassa, Nampula and Cabo Delgado. The overall objective of the ALCANCE Contribution is "Empowered partner organisations for increased access to productive land, access, and control of means of production, and increased knowledge by women and stallholder farmers to ensure the right of nutritious food in Nia.
