Pending the approval of the Country Strategic Plan (CSP) at the June 207 Executive Board, this ninth budget revision extends Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO) by a period of three months (April to June 207) to allow the continued provision of WFP assistance to refugees and populations affected by the El Niño induced drought and other natural disasters. 2. This budget revision foresees for a period of three months, the provision of food assistance to 558,000 food insecure people as follows: i) Food Assistance for Assets (FFA) and General Food Distribution (GFD) for 350,000 acute food insecure in April, decreasing to 200,000 in June, 50,000 through food vouchers, the remainder through in kind transfers), ii) FFA supporting pro-resilience activities for 200,000 people receiving a ration covering 50 percent of recommended minimum daily requirements, iii) daily school meals through Emergency School Feeding (ESF) for 00,000 students, iv) MAM treatment for 70,000 children 6 to 59 months and Pregnant or Lactating Women (PLWs), and v) general food distribution for 8,000 refugees and asylum seekers. 3. This budget revision will include additional food requirements of 8,044 mt and increase the total budget by US$22. million to US$36.3 million. Total number of beneficiaries for all activities sum up to 778,000. The figure of 558,000 excludes overlaps between activities.

2 JUSTIFICATION FOR EXTENSION-IN-TIME AND BUDGET INCREASE Summary of Existing Project Activities 4. This PRRO contributes to the National Action Plan for Poverty Reduction (PRSP), the revised UNDAF for Mozambique and WFP Strategic Objectives and In the context of the current El Niño induced drought, WFP i) provides relief and recovery food assistance for up to 700,000 food insecure beneficiaries through a combined approach of Food for Assets (FFA) assistance and unconditional General Food Distributions (GFD) for vulnerable drought-affected beneficiaries unable to engage in productive work; ii) implements an emergency school feeding programme for approximately 00,000 primary school students aged 6 to 2 years; and iii) provides treatment for moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) to an estimated 70,000 children 6 to 59 months and PLW. 6. There is an annual transitory caseload of acutely food insecure households affected by floods or cyclones in Mozambique, which require short-term support. When the size of this transitory caseload exceeds the response capacity of the Government (through the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC)), this generally triggers a formal request for support from WFP and other partners. When requested by the Government, WFP responds with the provision of relief food assistance to the most vulnerable victims of a disaster. As appropriate, this is followed by low-technology, labour-intensive FFA activities to facilitate recovery of the worst-affected communities. 7. WFP provides monthly relief food assistance for 8,000 refugees and asylum seekers in Maratane camp. Famine and conflict in the Horn of Africa have been responsible for an increasingly large displacement of people, some of whom claim refugee status or political asylum in Mozambique. The majority of refugees are partially dependent on WFP assistance to meet their basic food needs. 8. WFP also provides support to strengthen Government capacities to assume increasing responsibility for the above, including measures to support INGC and others in emergency preparedness and response, early warning systems and food security monitoring. Conclusion and Recommendations of the Re-Assessment 9. The 205/206 El Niño event has resulted in the worst drought to be experienced across much of southern Africa in 35 years. Exceptionally poor or erratic rains for two, and in some cases three, successive seasons, extreme above-average temperatures and delayed planting have had a catastrophic impact on food production across the region. In acknowledgment of the severity of the situation and the scale of needs, WFP activated a Level 3 corporate emergency response in June 206, providing for extraordinary procedures, capacities and resources resident corporately to the regional and country levels. The Level 3 Emergency Response for the impact of the El Niño-induced drought on the Southern Africa region has been deactivated on 6 March In November 206, the Technical Secretariat for Food Security and Nutrition (SETSAN) report, revised the number of food and nutrition insecure people to 2. million prior to harvest in March-April 207. Although the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MASA) expects good harvest, the immediate access to food post-march 207 is only expected in the areas that; i) received sufficient rainfall; ii) seeds were available at farm or Southern Africa Growing Season: heading for a record drought, WFP VAM bulletin January

3 market level; iii) households targeted with seeds distribution received seeds on time and iv) planted areas were not exposed to heavy rains/floods and pests. Given limited availability of the seeds in the market and at farm level, moderate to high probability of flooding in the south as well as below average rainfall in the north, production could be affected in some areas resulting in delayed, lower than average or failed harvest.. According to FEWS NET Security Outlook of February 207, from April to May, the majority of households will start accessing food from their own production, complemented by market purchases, however some households who were affected by localized flooding may still require extra time to recover during April to May. These households may temporarily face acute food insecurity outcomes ranging between Stressed (IPC Phase 2) and Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and require emergency humanitarian assistance as well as seeds for post-flood planting. The late planted crops may only become available in July as part of the second season production. 2. The maize grain prices, despite a rapid decrease in March/April as a result of the newly harvested crops, are expected to remain way above the 5 year average (62 and 93 percent higher respectively in southern and central areas) over the April-July period. 2 Compared to last year, maize prices are expected to slightly decrease in southern regions (5 percent lower) while they will increase in central regions (27 percent higher). 3 Maize meal prices, a substitute, are also expected to increase: 57 and 95 percent higher respectively in southern and central areas compared to the five-year average, and 2 and height percent higher respectively in southern and central areas compared to last year. Above mentioned trends for maize grain prices are in line with mvam findings. 3. Dineo, a Category 3 Tropical Cyclone, hit the southern and drought affected provinces of Gaza and Inhambane with devastating damages. Following a rapid assessment, the government estimated that about 650,000 people were affected, out of which 00,000 people were in needs of food assistance. However since the peak of the cyclone season ends in March, cyclone events or heavy winds are still possible along the coastal areas, mainly between Cabo Delgado and Inhambane provinces. In the event of a cyclone, the majority of affected households are likely to remain food secure, but the most vulnerable households may temporarily face Stressed (IPC Phase 2) to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) food insecurity outcomes, requiring urgent humanitarian assistance. In drought-affected areas, there is the possibility that some households could experience worse outcomes In order to mitigate the impact of re-occurring shocks, affected population has resorted to negative coping strategies that have decreased their capacity to absorb and "bounce back better" post crises. In many areas, food insecure communities who will regain immediate access to food due to good harvests, will continue to be unfit to anticipate, recover from and absorb shocks, and transform their livelihoods into climate-smart food security systems. To facilitate the transformation, as the first step, WFP will facilitate gender sensitive climate risk analysis with support from WFP Head Quarters to identify climate change risks to food security in Mozambique, and develop gender sensitive resilient activities creating assets that support adaptation to food security shocks, mitigate future climate change, and sustainably increasing availability, utilization, and access to food for the most vulnerable. The need for frequent emergency response indicates that current mechanisms in place and outcome of past interventions at national, district and community level must be strengthened and re-shaped.

4 5. Critical information gaps remain to accurately ascertain what the residual needs will be beyond March 207. However, considering several events of probable occurrence, such as the on-going food crisis, the likelihood of failed, delayed or limited harvest, the population at risk of floods, and historical data of food insecurity population, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) estimates that between 20,000 and 630,000 people will remain acutely food insecure beyond March and will still require food assistance. Additional assessments (MASA crop assessment planned for February 207; SETSAN nutrition assessment planned for March 207; SETSAN food security and nutrition assessments planned between March and June 207; gender analyses, and market assessments in districts targeted by food vouchers transfers) will further inform targeting and long-term response strategy. 6. In line with the WFP market assessment recommendations 2, and as part of its response to the El Niño induced drought, WFP has successfully implemented from February onwards a small pilot testing food vouchers transfers for 20,000 beneficiaries in rural areas close to urban settings in Tete province. Food vouchers transfers were implemented through an agreement with World Vision and under the coordination of the Food Security Cluster (FSC). While the assessment of this pilot is still ongoing, this intervention achieved a more standardized assistance throughout the district of Moatize, where several actors are present, thus avoiding differences in assistance modalities between nearby communities. Despite high food costs, preliminary outcomes of food vouchers based transfers are positive and call to further piloting vouchers, with a specific attention to gender, in additional districts. 7. Prevailing food insecurity is severely impacting education. Reduced school attendance and increased drop-out are equally reported for boys and girls by the Ministry of Education and Human Development (MINEDH) as children are forced to work or look for food to support their families. Following, positive impact on school attendance, monitoring data show that 50.8% of students dropouts returned to schools during the period of school feeding from September to December, MINEDH has requested WFP to pursue its assistance in drought affected provinces of Gaza and Inhambane where harvests would likely be delayed onset of until May June and where food insecurity has been further exacerbated by the damages resulting from the cyclone Dineo. 8. SETSAN carried out another survey with support from UNICEF and WFP in November 206, however the power of the sample size calculation was limited (n:,687) and Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM: 5.5 percent) prevalence had only national relevance. Therefore, no major programmatic adjustments can be applied until the subsequent SETSAN survey (March 207) and the same case load from the previous BR (70,000 children and PLW) was maintained. 9. Collaboration with IFAD and FAO is part of the current Accelerate MDG project. WFP continued to co-chair the SUN Business Network in partnership with the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and is an active member of the SUN UN Network together with FAO, UNICEF, WHO, UNFPA and IFAD. Humanitarian Country Team Position Paper post March A market performance analysis in Mozambique WFP, September

5 Purpose of Extension and Budget Increase 20. Pending the approval of a Country Strategic Plan (CSP) for Mozambique, this three month extension to PRRO will enable the provision of life-saving relief food assistance to refugees and victims of natural hazards, and support post-disaster early recovery. 2. With the main harvest which started in March in the southern and central regions and ending in June July in northern region, it is expected that the number of people in acute needs of food assistance will gradually decrease over the April to June period. WFP will identify pockets of food insecurity resulting from i) the effects of the cyclone Dineo, and ii) delayed and failed harvest, and will stagger its assistance from 350,000 people in April to 200,000 people in June. Assistance will be provided using a ration covering 90 percent of recommended minimum daily requirements. Out of this caseload, 50,000 are food insecure due to the devastating impact of cyclone Dineo, the remaining caseload is the residual caseload of El Nino drought food insecure people and results from poor harvest and extreme vulnerability. Cyclone Dineo hit the drought affected provinces of Inhambane and Gaza, and therefore the distinction between the drought and cyclone affected population in those provinces turns to be challenging. The balance of affected persons will be assisted by INGC and other national actors through an effective coordination of the food assistance ensured by the WFP-led Food Security Cluster (FSC) with and in support of INGC. 22. Geographical targeting will be based on i) Cyclone Dineo rapid assessments results; ii) SETSAN November 206 food security monitoring report; iii) districts reporting failed harvest or delayed harvest due to differences between livelihood zone or lack of inputs, and iv) historical data related to frequency and impact of shocks. Targeting criteria, developed by the FSC, are based on the extent of asset and harvest losses. Priority is given to households with members admitted for the treatment of MAM or severe acute malnutrition (SAM), high dependency ratios, single female-headed households, and households hosting chronically ill members, orphans, persons with disabilities, and/or the elderly. 23. In line with the Government s response strategy, which recommends the provision of food assistance to targeted food-insecure families in return for participation in works activities, the majority will receive food assistance through FFA with the dual purpose of maintaining an acceptable level of food consumption, and thus reducing negative coping strategies while laying the basic foundation for re-building community and household resilience to shocks. WFP will apply its global guidelines and recognized best practices to identify appropriate FFA activities, which will equally engage, and be of equal benefit to, women and men, to create or rehabilitate assets that are directly linked to district drought mitigation plans supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and INGC. 2 FFA climate-smart technologies will be undertaken in close coordination with FAO and technically qualified NGOs, such as spacing, mulching, improved seed/drought-tolerant seed varieties, composting, ridge planting. Works will also support district governments in project design, planning, budgeting and monitoring. The Government is supportive of unconditional food distributions only for: i.) displaced people in the immediate aftermath of a sudden-onset disaster; and ii.) the most vulnerable families without labour capacity. 2 It is expected that assets will include water catchment systems, small dams, drought tolerant seed multiplication, fruit trees, support to increase superficies of production, and feeder roads, amongst others. 5

6 24. WFP will provide unconditional GFD for approximately 30,000 vulnerable affected beneficiaries unable to engage in productive activities. Out of this caseload, 22,200 will receive in-kind food assistance and 7,800 will receive unconditional food vouchers. 25. Following the successful introduction of food vouchers in February 207, WFP will expand its assistance through food vouchers. Out of the above mentioned caseloads 50,000 people will be assisted through the use of food vouchers in accordance with INGC recommendation 2. Transfers using food vouchers will be implemented in the districts of Massingir (Gaza province) and Moatize (Tete province) where market fairs are set-up as close as possible to the communities avoiding long walking hours and high transport costs for beneficiaries. Unconditional food vouchers will be provided to about 7,800 persons of the total 50,000 who are affected in Gaza and Tete provinces but unable to engage in asset creation activities. WFP will start using SCOPE cards. 26. While the food vouchers modality is slightly more costly than in-kind transfers 3, it i) best supports the local market economy and its multiplier effect equally profits to women and men, ii) further increases the food consumption score of the targeted households, and iii) supports women's empowerment and increase beneficiary s self-esteem; the food voucher will cover around 90 percent of recommended minimum daily requirements. Regular market assessments and price monitoring will be conducted in order to ensure the appropriateness and the efficiency of the voucher. 27. In addition to the above mentioned caseload, WFP plans to target 200,000 additional beneficiaries, through early recovery pro-resilience interventions. Pro-resilience activities, conducted in the districts that have gained immediate access to food due to harvest, will target households who have not, due to the frequency of shocks, secured long-term food security, and will help them to anticipate, recover from and absorb shocks, while supporting climate-smart food security systems. WFP gender sensitive pro-resilience interventions will focus on bridging emergency and early recovery by simultaneously addressing immediate needs of most vulnerable food insecure communities while addressing root causes of food insecurity. Households targeted by pro-resilience interventions will receive a food ration covering 50 percent of the recommended minimum daily requirements. 28. Pro-resilience interventions will entail various degrees of complexity depending on the context and capacity of communities, government, and partners. Instead of wide geographical targeting focusing on food assistance, shift to clustered community targeting will be facilitated through Integrated Context Analysis (ICA), Climate Risk Analysis and Seasonal Livelihood Programming (SLP) taking into account specific socio-economic and environmental dimension, gender equality, livelihood zone, seasonal calendar, present and future climate shocks. Community Building Participatory Planning (CBPP) will then guide identification of interventions and assets that represent best fit based on the contextspecific socio-economic and environmental dimensions of food security systems in order to simultaneously achieve multiple goals and have a positive impact both short and longterm. Adequate budgeting for FFA will be achieved through additional CD&A support in order to consider costs of materials, tools, technical assistance and training of cooperating partners. Pro-resilience activities will be continued under the forthcoming CSP. 29. At government request, WFP will continue the provision of daily school meals on-site to some 92,000 primary and 8,000 secondary school children (including about 2,700 teachers) Based on past programmes, it is estimated that an average 30 percent of the population will be unable to engage in FFA. Of these, approximately half are assisted by government-operated social protection programmes. 2 The government advised that any transfer modality used by any partner should not have adverse food security implications or negative impact within the same area. Should the modality be CBT, the government recommends the use of vouchers only, and where markets have been assessed and deemed able to support the increased demand induced by the voucher programme. 3 The omega value for voucher transfers is estimated to be.3. 6

7 in 365 schools in Gaza and Inhambane provinces to meet immediate food needs, maintain attendance and reduce drop out. Priority is given to schools in the worst most affected areas, using IPC ranking, and based on education indicators. This activity is implemented in coordination with provincial and district education authorities and NGOs already involved in school feeding activities in targeted provinces. 30. In close coordination with the Nutrition Cluster, WFP will provide MAM treatment for an estimated 50,000 children aged 6 to 59 months and 20,700 PLW at health centres and surrounding communities (distribution points) in the provinces aligned with the SETSAN survey results (July 206), namely Cabo Delgado, Nampula, Zambezia, Sofala, Gaza and Tete. Via the inter-cluster coordination, food security interventions in the same districts will be coordinated with MAM treatment with the scope of protecting the Super Cereal and Ready to Use Supplementary Food (RUSF) provisions from household-level sharing. In the same geographical areas, other Nutrition Cluster members will implement SAM treatment interventions with beneficiaries who will be enrolled subsequently into the WFP cohort as soon as graduated from SAM. Implementation will be undertaken by health centre staff and adhere to existing national protocols and Nutritional Rehabilitation Programme (PRN) guidance. 3. WFP will support health centre outreach services (mobile brigades) to increase screening, monitoring and follow up at the community level. Past lessons learned suggest that monitoring of the corporate performance MAM treatment indicators, consumption rates of specialized nutritious foods and supply can be challenging if left to the health authorities with no additional support. The deployment of more than 30 field monitors trained in MAM treatment, WFP will continue to support each covered health facility (and surrounding community) to ensure the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) data actually flow via Sub Offices towards Country Office. Districts without presence of cooperating partners are being prioritized. 32. In 206, the Ministry of Health endorsed guidelines for nutritional campaigns using Social Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC), addressing topics such as Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) and good hygiene practices. WFP will adapt existing national SBCC materials for use to support nutrition-specific activities, as well as GFD/FFA distributions as nutrition-sensitive platforms, and supporting demand creation for MAM treatment. SBCC efforts will engage both men and women, and all child caregivers regardless of gender and age. 33. In line with the global memorandum of understanding, WFP will continue to provide monthly food assistance to 8,000 food insecure refugees and asylum seekers in Maratane camp out of the total,400, in coordination with UNHCR and INAR. These 8,000 include 3,000 longer-term refugees. The remaining (5,000) include the most vulnerable (primarily the elderly and chronically ill) and include more recent arrivals that have no access to livelihoods. 34. Although asylum-seekers and refugees in Maratane are currently heavily reliant on external assistance to meet their own basic needs, various enabling factors are also present, including a progressive legal and policy framework and a favourable socio-economic climate, which theoretically make for an environment that is, in fact, very conducive to self-reliance and local integration. Against this background and in line with the new Joint UNHCR/WFP Strategy on Enhancing Self-Reliance; a joint WFP, UNHCR, UN Habitat and FAO project under implementation to develop livelihoods activities for the asylumseekers/refugees in Maratane camp with the aim to enable migrants to become more selfreliant and integrated into the local community. Through CD&A activities, WFP, supported by third parties with specialized competencies in relevant areas will enhance finance capital (promoting microcredit, saving and loans, and financial literacy), support agricultural value 7

8 chains, and will strengthen market management and monitoring. FAO will include poultry raising and vegetable farming construct water irrigation schemes in the nearby camp environment. UNHCR will focus on non-agricultural value chains, while UN Habitat will help project stakeholders to undertake an integrated spatial-economic plan to further integrate Maratane camp, from an economic and social perspective, into the greater Nampula area. 35. CD&A activities will support i) Social Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) activities for nutrition across all components, material will be developed, and workshop will be held, ii) the WFP/UNHCR/UNHabitat joint project supporting livelihoods and selfreliance activities for the refugees in Maratane camp, and iii) implementation of the three- Pronged Approach (3PA) to support the pro resilience activities. 36. WFP will integrate gender equality in all interventions. In line with objectives II and III of WFP s Gender Policy, women's and men's equal participation in FFA design and planning will be encouraged and organized; sensitization sessions will be organized and facilitated by WFP and partners to give equal opportunity to men and women to participate in the selection, design, implementation and evaluation of FFA activities through focus group discussions and separate meetings with community women s groups. Women will be encouraged to participate in beneficiary selection and other committees (at a minimum of 50 percent female representation), a gender analysis will inform the recipient of the food entitlements, distribution sites will be established in close proximity to beneficiary communities, and food will packaged in quantities that can be transported by all recipients, regardless of sex, age, or disability. 37. Throughout activities, WFP will ensure systematic gender-responsive monitoring of measurable indicators while supporting the development and use of national monitoring and evaluation systems where possible and appropriate. Training have been provided to WFP field monitors in order for them to support cooperating partners during implementation of the programme.

9 38. Where harvest failed or delayed, and/or where populations have been affected by the cyclone Dineo, WFP will continue to provide a ration that covers 90 percent of recommended minimum daily requirements, in line with the rations of the other FSC members. The ration will be composed of maize grain (400g/day/person), pulses (60g/day/person), and vegetable oil fortified with vitamins A and D (25g/day/person). This acknowledges typical social support arrangements at the community level and alternative sources of assistance that are traditionally used by households in affected areas to cope with shocks (including support from extended family). FFA participants are engaged in works for a maximum of four hours per day, up to four days per week, allowing time to engage in other activities to secure income or access additional food by other means. 39. Using VAM portal and annual average retail prices of commodities mostly consumed in those provinces, food voucher s value has been revised and amounts now to US$66.32 per month per household. Calculation is made using commodities (maize meal, rice, beans, oil, sugar and salt) to meet the same macro and micro nutrient requirements of the in-kind food basket, and mostly consumed in Gaza and Tete provinces. 40. In districts targeted by the pro-resilience activities and where population have gained an immediate access to food due to harvest, the targeted communities are expected to meet portion of their food needs from their own production. A ration composed of 267g/day/person and pulses 40g/day/person and covering 50 percent of recommended minimum daily requirements will be provided. 4. In line with international standards and government recommendation, eligible children 6-59 months of age will be provided with 00g of RUSF per day, with an expected recovery period of three months. In accordance with the national protocol, PLW will receive 0kg of Super Cereal per month, with an expected recovery period of six months. 42. Assistance to all refugees and asylum seekers will continue to be provided in the form of food rations as indicated in Table 2. An approximate 5,000 beneficiaries who are considered to be extremely vulnerable will receive full rations consisting of 480g of maize, 60g of pulses, 25g of vegetable oil and 5g of iodised salt, per person per day. The balance 3,000 longer-term refugees with livelihoods will receive half rations of these commodities, understanding that they are able to source the balance of their food needs from alternative means. In line with the Ministry of Health micronutrient powders (MNP) distribution strategy and dose recommendations, children between the ages of 6 and 23 months residing in Maratane camp will be provided with a standard ration of 60 g sachets over six months, while PLW have access to the government Antenatal Care programme providing them with Iron Folic Acid tablets. 43. All activities of this PRRO will be continued under the upcoming Country Strategic Plan ( ), with the exception of the provision of MNPs for the children as it will be taken over by government programme.

In line with the Government priority as well as the availability of the commodities in the country, a majority of food requirements will be procured locally, from northern and central areas of the country; or in the region through the Global Commodity Management Facility (GCMF). All regional purchases will be carried out in close coordination with the Regional Bureau and will be undertaken, where possible, during the harvest season to ensure competitive prices. Due to a ban on importing oil, WFP will purchase the commodity locally. Hazard / Risk Assessment and Preparedness Planning 45. Specific risks and likely impacts on activities have been analysed and documented while mitigation actions have been identified (see risks and assumptions in the logical framework). Early warning and contingency plans are in place to minimize the impact of external risks.
