[WIOSAP] Mangrove Restoration and Livelihood Support Through Community Participation in Mozambique Technical Report
The Nairobi Convention Secretariat (NCS) undertook a pre-project visit from 15 to 16 January 2020 to meet with project proponents, partners, and communities to gain first-hand information about the problem that the project intends to address, mechanisms and approaches to be used, how the identified issues are associated with the livelihoods of beneficiaries, and what benefits the project will bring them. The NCS conducted a “due diligence” to ensure proponents have and will consider community sensitivities, potential stumbling blocks, and leadership/ownership of the project. This serves as a “baseline” of the situation at the start of the project to which comparison can be made at the project’s conclusion. In addition, visuals/interviews (of both the site and communities), were captured for storytelling and communications purposes (Published in February 2020).
