This presentation by Ms Celine Lim, of the World Bank, provides an overview of the Mozambican forest sector context and challenges, and highlights key facts of about forest trade and sector reform.
It then presents the World Bank’s support to the sector via its integrated forests and landscape management portfolio, including the Mozambique Forest Investment Project (MozFIP).
The presentation was made at the fourth international learning event of the China-Africa Forest Governance Learning Platform, held in Pemba, Mozambique, from 23-25 October 2017.
The platform event focused on finding ways for Chinese businesses in Africa, and African businesses linked to China, to generate strong benefits for local economies in Africa while looking after forest resources for future generations.

MozFIP is a $47M project co-financed by the Forest Investment Program
of the Climate Investment Funds, the International Development
Association (IDA), and the Integrated Landscape and Forests
Management Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF).
Objectives
Strengthen the enabling environment for
sustainable forest management and
promote integrated landscape
management in Zambézia and Cabo
Delgado, to address significant drivers of
deforestation while contributing to livelihood
improvements of rural populations

10. Forest Governance Assessment –
Zambezia and Cabo Delgado
Low score areas:
• Forest sector policies contradict those in other sectors
• Stakeholder participation in planning and decision-making in the sector is low, particularly
the inclusion of women
• Implementation of laws and regulations – forest law enforcement is absent and forest
crimes often go unpunished
• Measures to combat corruption do not exist
Carried out in 2016 using the Framework for Assessing and Monitoring Forest Governance,
(developed by FAO and the Program on Forests (PROFOR))
11. Integrated landscape
management programs
• Community land delimitation and
issuance of DUATs
• Multi-stakeholder landscape forums
• Planted Forests Grant Scheme
• Agroforestry systems
• Sustainable charcoal production
…. FCPF, MozBio, SUSTENTA
12. • Unless the enabling environment is created,
the sector cannot realize its potential
• Current low sustainability generates limited
income locally and for the economy – adding
value to the forest is essential
• The Government and private sector have
critical roles - much more is needed
• The Integrated Forests and Landscape
Management portfolio aims to support a new
vision in the sector
Concluding Thoughts
You’ve heard this week about the Moz forest sector context, including around forest trade and some of the measures taken in the sector.
The World Bank has been supporting the Government of Mozambique to strengthen the governance of the forest sector to achieve two independent goals: i) increase the benefits of timber harvesting and processing to local communities and the local economy; ii) ensure sustainable forest management, including reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and preserving natural habitats for biodiversity. The momentum around the forest sector reforms announced by the Government of Mozambique led the Bank to significantly increase its support to the sector.
MozFIP is a broad, multi-sectoral project that works from multiple angles, including
The design process was quite participatory in terms of the agencies involved – DINAF, AQUA, DINAT, FUNAE, DINAS, DINAE - participants from the national and the provincial levels
First component is focused on two landscapes, implemented through 2 Integrated Landscape Management Programs
Second component is on enabling conditions at the national level
Small private sector players as agents of change, in partnership with communities
Anchors small-scale enterprises and embeds them in systems that can be sustained in the long term
Reduced dependence on public sector and donor financing
In particular, partnerships with private sector actors are encouraged in the development of these businesses.
To scale this up further, another complementary project to MozFIP, the MozDGM, will also encourage community-level initiatives and businesses, similarly those that involve partnerships with actors with the ability to provide technical assistance that CBOs are often lacking.
Participants identified priority interventions including policy reforms, institutional strengthening and incentives for stimulating sustainable forest management, many of which are addressed in MozFIP. The full report will be published in the coming weeks and we will be able to share it.
