Greetings of the Executive DirectorWelcome to the Annual Report of ADPP Mozambique 2013!

The year 2013 was a year of great celebration and significant expansion

for ADPP Mozambique. In addition to continuing its long-standing work in the areas of education, health and agriculture, ADPP initiated various new programs in the areas of of renewable energies and the fight against tuberculosis.

One event that most marked the year 2013 was the 20th anniversary of the ADPP Teacher Training Colleges. The first College was inaugurated in 1993 in Machava, Maputo Province. During the following 20 years, 10 other Colleges have been established in all provinces of the country and nearly 13,000 primary school teachers have graduated from these. Today, approximately 1,000 future teachers graduate from the ADPP Teacher Training Colleges every year. We are proud to

have contributed to the creation of whole generations of dedicated and highly motivated primary school teachers who are now practicing their profession as teachers and community developers, most of them in the rural and remote areas of the country, and thereby playing an important role in the development of the country and improving the quality of its primary education.

Our other long-term programs have also reached various landmarks during the year 2013. One should particularly mention the TCE Program (Total Control of the Epidemic) through which ADPP Mozambique was able to reach over 1 million people with information on the prevention and care of HIV/AIDS and bring hope to those infected and affected by it through the door-to-door campaigns and interpersonal consultations in the local communities.

Among the other highlights from 2013 is succeeding to improve the food security and livelihoods of over 5,000 small-scale farmers through the Farmer’s Club Programs in Sofala and Cabo Delgado Provinces, providing daily school meals for over 37,000 primary school children in Maputo Province through the Food for Knowledge Project and in providing environment-friendly and sustainable sources of energy for over 18,000 people through the renewable energies projects in Cabo Delgado and Maputo Provinces.

All ADPP Mozambique programs are carried out through an inclusive and participative approach: from the people to the people, together with the local communities, fighting shoulder to shoulder with the Poor.

The current report is an overview of the ADPP program areas and of the results achieved in each of them in 2013. As such, it represents only the tip of an iceberg of the achievements of the countless dedicated people who have tirelessly contributed in turning our efforts into a success.

I would therefore like to express my deepest gratitude for the invaluable efforts of all of these people: the Project Leaders, the Field Officers, the teachers, students, workers and the volunteers.

I would also like to extend my warmest thanks to our many partners without

whom all of this would have not been possible and with whom we have hadthe pleasure to strengthen our collaboration during this year. I cannot stress enough how important your support has been in allowing us to continue our long-standing work in improving the living conditions and livelihoods of the people of Mozambique.

I wish all of you enjoyable reading with our Annual Report 2013!

ADPP is a Mozambican non-governmental association. It was established in 1982 and has grown steadily during its 31 years of existence. It currently

implements over 82 projects across all provinces of the country, employs 2,700 staff and benefits more than 2 million Mozambicans annually.

ADPP Mozambique is active in four main sectors, namely: Education, Health, Agriculture and Renewable Energies. A special focus is given to improving primary education through Teacher Training, improving food security and livelihoods in rural areas through the Farmers’ Clubs and improving community health through the TCE HIV/AIDS prevention and care Program. All ADPP Programs are based on the holistic development of the local communities, which is seen as the key to reaching sustainable results in each of the program areas.

Program Areas of ADPP Mozambique

The overall mission of ADPP Mozambique is to promote the equitable social and economic development of the people of Mozambique, and in particular of those in the most vulnerable position – children, orphans and the rural poor, especially women and girls – in order to ensure that they can participate on equal terms to the development of their country and enjoy their human rights to the fullest.

Mission

1. ADPP MOZAMBIQUE

The strategy of ADPP Mozambique is based on solidary humanism. We work with people and communities on the grassroots level – among the people and with the people. This is done fighting shoulder to shoulder with the poor and through an approach that combines various crosscutting themes, including literacy, health and gender issues.

We at ADPP believe that real change happens in the minds and hearts of people, in the interaction with others and within the social and cultural context of a given community. Every person counts and therefore whole communities are mobilized in order to achieve sustainable results. According to us, development should be seen as a holistic and inclusive process that aims at the overall wellbeing of people and communities on both socio-economical and cultural terms. The central role given to the human in the development process is among the core humanistic values of ADPP Mozambique.

Despite the impressive progress of the past 10 years, Mozambique still ranks

among the least developed countries in the world (Human Development Index, 2013, UNDP). If one should choose only one area in which to tackle the complex challenge of development, it would without doubt be education. Studies show that the socioeconomic return of the investments in education for individuals, families and the society at large are incomparable to any other sector. Education plays a key role in reducing poverty, ensuring better health, enhancing gender equality, sustaining economic growth, and strengthening citizenship and democracy.

While various reforms have been taken in the education sector since the independence of Mozambique, many challenges still remain. A considerable number of Mozambican children still do not have access to primary education. Of those who enroll to primary school, many do not finish the first cycle or leave school with appropriate reading or writing skills. Moreover, the teacher student ratio remains alarmingly high resulting often in poor quality of teaching.

According to the Education Strategic Plan 2012-2016 of the Government of Mozambique, the main priority in the coming years will be given to increasing the provision of quality education for all and to strengthening the linkages between the education system and the needs of the labor market through quality vocational and technical training.

The Education Programs of ADPP Mozambique are strongly focused in these two areas: improving the quality of primary education and increasing access to quality vocational training. As a result of its long-term investments in these areas, ADPP Mozambique today runs altogether 11 Teacher Training Colleges, covering all provinces of the country, and 3 Vocational Schools providing both 2-year training programs and a variety of specially designed short courses. It also supports the network of graduated teachers called “400 Primary Schools”, which functions as a forum for practicing teachers where they receive further training and share best practices.

Strengthening the quality of the teaching and providing highly qualified work force were also the driving forces behind the establishment of the ADPP One World University – Instituto Superior de Educação e Tecnologia (OWU/ISET) in Changalane, Maputo Province, in 1998. The OWU/ISET is an institute of higher education that today graduates 60-90 students with a Licentiate’s Degree in Pedagogy or Community Development each year.

In addition to quality, ADPP Mozambique gives a strong emphasis to strengthening the access and inclusiveness of education. To this end, it has established altogether 3 primary and 2 secondary schools for orphan and vulnerable children and youth. It also offers the teacher training for disabled students at the Teacher Training College of Nhamatanda in Sofala and implements an adult literacy program in Zambezia.

The One World University – Instituto Superior de Educação e Tecnologia (OWU/ISET) is an institute

of higher education established in 2005 to train professionals in the areas of Pedagogy and Community Development.

Set amidst the lush hills of Changalane district, near the border between Mozambique and Swaziland, and equipped with up-to-date facilities and premises designed by the world-renowned architect Jan Utzon, the OWU provides ideal boarding school conditions for 250 students annually.

The OWU graduates earn a Licentiate’s Degree in either Pedagogy or Community Development (“Fighting with the Poor”). Both degrees are also offered through distance learning. The degree in Pedagogy qualifies the graduate to train primary school teachers at teacher-training colleges and other educational institutions and the one in Community Development provides the students with the necessary skills to work in holistic and inclusive community development.

The proximity to local communities and the emphasis given to field studies provide the students with a strong connection to praxis and ensure that the OWU graduates achieve a high level of professionalism well before entering the labor market.

To date, altogether 501 students have graduated from the OWU, 409 in Pedagogy and 92 in Community Development. Altogether 350 students coming from various European and African countries and the USA have enrolled through the distance learning option, graduating a total of 81 students to date.

One World UniversityExcelling in Pedagogy and Community Development

MAIN RESULTS OF THE OWU/ISET IN 2013:

• Altogether 442 students enrolled in 2013: 96 in Pedagogy, 126 in Community Development and 220 as distance learning students

• 34 graduates in Licentiate Degree in Pedagogics• 29 graduates in Licentiate Degree in Community Development• 81 graduates through the distance learning option• First year of implementation of the new curriculum, which includes an

international study visit to neighboring Southern-African countries

WHAT IS DMM?

The DMM (Doctrine of Modern Methods) is a teaching and learning method used at both the OWU/ISET and at the ADPP Teacher Training Colleges. It is based on a student-centred approach according to which each student should be the driving force behind his/her own learning and participate in the planning of the teaching.

The learning takes place within a core group consisting of 10-15 students and a teacher, and within a larger team formed by all students and teachers. The studies are divided into individual and group studies (50%), teacher-led courses (25%) and practical “experiences” (25%). One of the key elements of the DMM is the ICT-based learning environment created to ensure the interactive character of the learning process and to facilitate student evaluation.

“One of the best things about studying at the OWU is its practical character: we get to put theory into practice while still studying. The proximity with the local communities is essential in this sense. I feel that I have what it takes to start working.”

Teacher Training CollegesTraining Teachers of the Future

The ADPP Teacher Training Colleges, known as “Schools for the Teachers

of the Future”, have been established to contribute to the efforts of the Government of Mozambique to improve the quality of teaching at the primary schools in Mozambique.

By increasing the number of qualified and multi-skilled teachers, the Colleges play an important role in developing teacher training in Mozambique.

The objective of the Colleges is to train primary school teachers who are both passionate educators and capable of leading various community development initiatives in the rural communities in which most of them will work.

In 2013, ADPP ran the 1-year teacher-training program in 8 of its Teacher Training Colleges and the 3-year pilot program in 3 Colleges. In both training programs, pedagogical practice in neighboring primary schools and interacting with the local communities is given a central role. The teaching relies on the DMM System (Doctrine of Modern Methods), which makes studying flexible and places the student in the center of his or her own learning process.

The Colleges function as boarding schools in which responsibilities related to the management and maintenance of the school are shared between staff and students. This trains the future teachers in taking initiative and assuming responsibilities in the schools

and communities in which they will work after graduation.

The ADPP Teacher Training College graduates are known to be exceptionally motivated in their work, skilled in using the latest pedagogical methodologies and interested in the holistic development of the children they teach (Evaluation of the ADPP Mozambique’s pre-service teacher training programme, 2013).

The altogether 11 ADPP Teacher Training Colleges, one in each province and two in Nampula, enroll over 1,500 students annually. To date, altogether 12,886 primary school teachers (7,362 men and 5,524 women) have graduated from the ADPP Colleges.

MAIN RESULTS OF THE ADPP TEACHER TRAINING COLLEGES IN 2013:

• 1,038 new primary school teachers (486 men and 552 women) graduated from the ADPP Teacher Training Colleges in Mozambique (20% increase from 2012)

• The pass rate was 94,2%• 28,329 primary school children were reached with new methods of teaching

and learning through the teaching practice period of the TTC students• 29 Pedagogical Workshops organized throughout the country as a ways to

develop the teaching profession and strengthen the relations between primary schools and the surrounding communities

• 91 meetings of the “400 Primary Schools” network of TTC graduated teachers organized

“The first ADPP Teacher Training College in Mozambique was inaugurated in 1993. Since then, 12,886 new primary school teachers (7,362 men and 5,524 women) have

graduated from them.”

Best Student of the Year, Teacher Training College of Gaza: “I was excited to hear that I was elected Best Student of the Year. What is more important, however, is how I will work as a teacher. I think I will be a good one: I enjoy working with children and consider myself consistent in what I teach.

I also think that I will be a different kind of teacher. This is because the training has taught me to constantly evaluate my own teaching. I have also learned to take responsibility of my own learning – this is what the student-centered studying method at the ADPP Teacher Training Colleges aim at – and I will try to transmit that to my students. I have also become very familiar with computers and different software, which will help to update my skills and knowledge in the future.”

20 Years of ADPP Teacher Training in Mozambique

The first ADPP Teacher Training College in Mozambique was inaugurated in 1993 in Machava, Maputo Province. Since then, altogether 11 ADPP Teacher Training Colleges have been established covering all provinces of the country.

With 20 years since the beginning of the ADPP teacher training, the year 2013 marked a special anniversary for all of the Colleges across the country. The 20-year jubilee was celebrated between 12-18 October through a week full of events ranging from workshops on pedagogy and exhibitions and presentations depicting the studies at the Colleges to various sports and cultural events. All events were carried out together with the neighboring communities.

Over the course of the week, altogether 230 events took place in all of the 11 Colleges of the country. In addition to the nearly 1,831 students and over 200 teachers, the events were successful in mobilizing the local communities and authorities from Maputo to Cabo Delgado and in having them participate actively in the celebrations along the week.

Despite the impressive progress since the independence, the level of academic

and vocational training in Mozambique remains low. Nearly 80% of the labor force has not completed the first level of primary education. Improving the access to and raising the quality of public and private vocational training is therefore one of the key objectives of the Government. A qualified workforce is essential in stimulating the country’s development and economic growth.

The 3 ADPP Vocational Schools in Mozambique – 1 in Machava, Maputo Province, 1 in Nhamatanda, Sofala Province and 1 in Bilibiza, Cabo Delgado Province – contribute to this goal through providing students with the necessary technical-professional skills to enter the local labor market as employees or through their own income generation activities.

The ADPP Vocational Schools give training in the following areas: Agriculture & Livestock, Business Management, Civil Construction, Hospitality & Tourism and Community Instructor training. In addition to the technical-professional diploma, the graduates earn an equivalent of a 10th or a 12th grade Technical school diploma, depending on the School.

The Schools provide an intensive 2-year training program that includes both theoretical and practical studies. Internships in local companies and institutions are an integral part of the curriculum.

Given that the training is given in a boarding school setting, the ADPP Vocational School graduates acquire many valuable extra-curricular skills, including planning and implementing activities and taking personal responsibility over their success.

Since their establishment in 1984, approximately 5,400 students have graduated from the 3 ADPP Vocational Schools.

In addition to the Vocational Schools, the 4 ADPP CCDCs (Community Centers for Development of Competencies) have been offering short-term technical courses since 2013. The topics vary from sewing, painting and farming to selling of second hand clothes. The objective of the short courses is to increase the access to professional training, thereby facilitating the entry into the world of work. Over 1,000 young people and adults will be trained each year through these short-term courses.

MAIN RESULTS OF THE VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN 2013:

• 338 youths graduated from the ADPP Vocational Schools in Mozambique: 64 in Construction, 107 in Agriculture & Livestock, 108 in Business Management, 17 in Hospitality & Tourism and 42 as Community Instructors

• 247 new students were enrolled• 8 different short courses were organized in the Vocational Schools• 939 persons participated in short courses

“I Earned My Future”“It was at the Vocational School that I learned many things that have shaped my life,” says Fatima Mussa, a 28-year old mother of two and an accounting graduate from the ADPP Vocational School of Maputo. “Not only did I earn a profession, I also earned my future.”

The skills in accounting, computing, classification of cash and bank documents and in preparation of trial balances acquired at the Vocational School, have been very useful ever since she finished her studies. They have allowed her to develop a professional career and to earn extra income for her family.

Today, Fatima works as an Accountant in a well-established organization. One day she would like to be an Auditor. She is hopeful in reaching her dream. “One of the things I learned at the Vocational School was to stand on my own feet. And to decide where they are taking me,” she finishes with a determined smile.

Education is a fundamental human right. However, many children in Mozambique face various social

and economical constraints that compromise their schooling. The opportunities of orphan and vulnerable children to enroll into primary education are even scarcer.

ADPP Mozambique has responded to the challenge by establishing 2 secondary and 2 primary schools that are specially targeted for vulnerable and disadvantaged children and youth: the Secondary Schools of “On the Road to Victory” and “Patrice Lumumba” in Maputo Province and the Primary Schools of “Ants of the Future” in Chimoio and “Children’s Town” in Costa de Sol, Maputo. The latter also functions as a home for orphans entrusted to ADPP by the social services of the government.

Every year, the ADPP Primary and Secondary Schools provide nearly 3,000 children with an access to education.

In addition to its primary and secondary schools, ADPP Mozambique is active in supporting the improvement of primary education through the provision of in-service training to practicing teachers and school councils and through rehabilitating and equipping existing primary schools in the provinces of Niassa, Cabo Delgado and Manica. Thanks to these interventions, over 63,000 children have access to a better quality primary education.

The network of graduated teachers called “400 Primary Schools”, covering over 30,000 children across the country, is also among the ADPP initiatives aiming at improving the teaching given in primary schools.

MAIN RESULTS OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN 2013:

• 741 children enrolled in the two ADPP Primary Schools• 2,121 youths enrolled in the two ADPP Secondary Schools• 57 children living at the Children’s Town for abandoned and orphan children in

Maputo

From the Streets Towards a Better Future

Despite his young age, the 11-year old Mário Alexandre, better known as “Marito”, has already lived a lot. There was a time he did not know what school is, and much less a home. The ADPP Children’s Town boarding school and center for abandoned children and orphans where he now lives with the altogether 57 other vulnerable children is a far cry from the streets of Maputo where he grew up after having been abandoned by his parents six years ago in Gaza Province.

Today, he is often chosen to lead activities and to represent the Center in various occasions. He is also one of the most active pupils in the 5th grade and writes better than some of the children in the 6th.

What would Marito like to do in the future then? He smiles shyly before confessing. “I would like to be a car mechanic.” In the meanwhile, he will continue constructing the small cars made of tin cans, corks and fishing wire so admired and coveted by the other boys of the Children’s Town.

School Feeding ProjectFood For KnowledgeEnhancing Learning Through School Feeding

In 2013, ADPP Mozambique began implementing a 3,5-year crosscutting program on education

and nutrition in Maputo Province. Financed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and implemented by Planet Aid and ADPP Mozambique in Maputo Province, the Food For Knowledge Project is among the programs implemented in the context of the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program.

The objective of Food For Knowledge Project is to improve the academic performance, nutrition and overall health of altogether 60,000 school children through the distribution of daily school meals in 242 selected primary schools and by enhancing the quality of teaching through teacher training and extra-curricular activities. To this end, the Food For Knowledge Project will support the training of altogether 4,000 primary school teachers at the ADPP Teacher Training Colleges and provide each with intensive courses on nutrition and healthy eating habits. Various campaigns will also be organized among the children’s parents and community members to raise their awareness of the on the importance of a balanced diet.

In order to ensure that the schools have the necessary facilities to prepare the daily school meals, access to clean water and appropriate sanitation facilities, the program also builds storerooms, kitchens, firewood-saving stoves and wells, installs water pumps, and ensures that there are separate latrines for girls and boys.

MAIN RESULTS OF THE FOOD FOR KNOWLEDGE PROJECT IN 2013:

• 37,000 primary school children received a daily meal• 932,320 meals were distributed in the selected schools and 133 metric tons of

CSB (corn-soy-blend) distributed for this purpose• Overall school attendance in the beneficiary schools increased by 4,3%• 175 school kitchens and storerooms and 142 wells and water systems were

constructed or rehabilitated at the schools• 51 school gardens were established and 13,568 students now benefit from

them. The first crop was harvested in November 2013.• 242 School Feeding Committees were formed to manage the school feeding• 65,622 de-worming tablets distributed to children• 242 after-school clubs were established to help children improve their academic

performance• 1,483 teacher students are currently studying at the ADPP Teacher Training

Colleges thanks to the USDA support

“The Food for Knowledge Project has been very welcome. Before we had lots of problems with school attendance: many of the children live far away and need to help their parents on the fields. Often they didn’t come to school. This has changed with the daily lunch: some of the children come to school even before the class has started. They are also pay more at-tention to the teaching. They are learning better.”

One of the areas in which poverty in Mozambique is most felt and has the

most serious multiplier effects is the area of health. This is reflected in the low life expectancy in the country (52,5 years), ranking it among the 10 countries with the highest mortality rate in the world (World Health Organization, 2013).

One of the main underlying reasons for this is HIV/AIDS. The HIV prevalence rate in Mozambique is estimated at 11,1% (UNAIDS, 2012), with significant regional and gender disparities ranging from 4% to 25%. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has serious consequences for the overall socio-economic development of the country, affecting all areas of the society and hindering or outright compromising many of the positive development results achieved in other areas.

As a Mozambican Association having worked on the grassroots level for over 30 years, ADPP Mozambique has long and solid experience in engaging and working with communities and in developing on-the-ground approaches to community health and HIV/AIDS prevention and care. Today, it boasts with one of the largest networks of

staff and volunteers working in the field, reaching nearly 1,000,000 Mozambicans annually.

The ADPP approach is based on a comprehensive and systematic HIV/AIDS prevention and care model which combines individual counseling, field testing services, communication for behavior change and community mobilization: the Total Control of the Epidemic (TCE).

Thanks to the positive experiences gained through the TCE Program, the same approach is applied in a similar program focusing on tuberculosis (TB) prevention and care, the TC-TB, which in 2013 was implemented in the provinces of Sofala, Manica and Zambezia.

The other community-based HIV prevention and care project implemented by ADPP is called HOPE. It targets special high-risk groups such as truck drivers, HIV-positive pregnant women and orphan and vulnerable children, and includes various activities designed to best reach them, including workplace reach-out activities, field testing, and mobilization for male circumcision and PMTCT (Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV).

The Total Control of the Epidemic (TCE) is an intensive HIV prevention and care, community mobilization

and behavior change program that relies on door-to-door campaigning, free and voluntary HIV-testing and interpersonal counseling given by specially trained TCE Field Officers in the intimacy and confidential atmosphere of people’s homes.

The objective of the TCE Program is to give a halt to the spread of the virus by raising awareness of whole communities about the prevention and treatment of the disease and by encouraging people to take responsibility of their own health and of those around them.

The TCE approach can be summarized in the following words: “Only the people themselves can liberate themselves from the epidemic”. It is based on the idea that changing behaviour is a complex process that requires time and the commitment of both the individual and the surrounding community. This is why the raising of awareness should start as close as possible to the everyday life of the people: in their homes and in places where they most interact in the community. In order to ensure all the necessary support for change to happen, all activities are carried out in close collaboration with the local government and the health centers. The traditional leaders and the specially trained community volunteers (the “Passionates”) are given a key role in mobilizing the community members to participate in the program.

The TCE Program has proven to be an effective way of gaining “total control” over the HIV epidemic on the community level. By the end of 2013, it has reached more than 3,300,000 people in 7 different provinces of Mozambique.

In order to ensure the expected impact, the TCE programs are designed to be implemented over a period of at least 3 years. A TCE area covers 100,000 people

and each of the 50 TCE Field Officers working in the TCE area are responsible for an area covering 2,000 people. All people in the selected area are reached in a systematic manner through the door-to-door campaigning. They are given information on HIV/AIDS and encouraged to know their HIV status and, in case diagnosed HIV-positive, given counseling and, if necessary, assisted in initiating the antiretroviral (ARV) treatment. Each and every community member is also supported in designing their own HIV-prevention plan, which, when implemented by all community members, will ideally result in a “Total Control of the Epidemic”.

In addition to HIV prevention and care, the TCE Program also gives special focus to raising the awareness on how to live a healthy and positive life with the virus and includes various activities related to fighting HIV-related stigma and discrimination in the schools, workplaces and homes. This is done through advocacy campaigns, trainings and thematic cultural events that engage the whole community.

In 2013, ADPP Mozambique implemented the TCE Program in two of the Mozambican provinces with the highest HIV prevalence rates, namely, Maputo (26%) and Gaza

(25%), and among the coastal fishing communities of Nampula Province.

In Gaza, the TCE Program covered altogether 8 areas, reaching up to 840,000 people, representing nearly 80% of the population of the province. Over 300 TCE Officers were trained by the Ministry of Health and the Provincial Directorate of Health to carry out voluntary home HIV-testing, multiplying thus the number of people getting tested in the province. In Maputo, the TCE Field Officers offered individual counseling to over 125,000 people, distributed over 860,000 condoms and were successful in mobilizing 770 volunteers to participate in the fight against HIV/AIDS and the related stigma and discrimination in their communities. The TCE Program of Nampula had a specific target group: the vulnerable coastal fishing communities. Given the particularly high malnutrition rates among the fishermen and their families, the TCE Nampula also included a component on nutrition.

MAIN RESULTS OF THE TCE PROGRAM IN 2013:

• 973,585 people in Maputo, Gaza and Nampula Provinces were reached through the TCE Program

• 79,416 people took the HIV-test and became aware of their HIV-status• 21,771 people elaborated their personal HIV Risk Reduction Plans • 13,950,764 condoms were distributed in the selected provinces • 1,134 awareness raising campaigns were organized• 1,957 community leaders were sensitized in HIV/AIDS prevention and care

and in nutrition issues• 2,355 People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are participating actively in the

TCE Program activities• 3,255 Orphan and Vulnerable Children supported through the TCE Programs

The Story of Rosa Matsinhe, 26 years, Manhiça:“I remember when the Field Officer first visited my house and started to talk about HIV. I felt quite intimidated. Then, all of a sudden, she started talking about an issue that was related to the health problems I was having at the time. I was impressed by her words: it seemed as if she was talking about me, about my life, about my problems. Desperate as I was, I opened myself up to her. I told about my health problems and about my fear of going to the hospital and taking tests. I even told that I was pregnant.

The Field Officer then said that I would need to go to the health centre to open a pre-natal record and take some exams. At the health centre, they took all possible tests. I was shocked when I learned that the result of the HIV-test was positive. Luckily the Field Officer was there to support me. I started the HIV-treatment immediately.

I recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Thanks to the TCE Program and the Field Officer Aurora, he is also a healthy boy. I am very grateful for that. This is why I am today the “number one passionate” of the TCE Program in my area. I even help Aurora in identifying pregnant women and encouraging them to take the test.”

MAIN RESULTS OF THE HOPE PROGRAM IN 2013:

• 52,273 people received voluntary counseling and HIV-testing through the HOPE Program

• 1,717 people were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS through the HOPE Program • 687 pregnant women accessed PMTCT (prevention of mother-to-child

transmission of HIV) treatment through the HOPE Program• 122 new members were registered to the Positive Living Clubs• 399,768 condoms were distributed in the Province of Maputo• 104 HIV/AIDS campaigns and 40 campaigns on hygiene and nutrition were

carried out in the communities in the Province of Maputo• 2,000 orphans and families were reached through the home-based care

services• 2,113 men were circumcised

The main objective of the HOPE Project is to bring hope to those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. The project seeks to enhance the quality of life of HIV-positive people

through assisting them in adhering to treatment, encouraging them in adopting a healthy diet and helping them in finding decent employment and relevant peer support at the ADPP Positive Living Clubs and Youth Clubs. All willing to do so will also be supported in designing a personal HIV risk reduction plan.

One of the core ideas of HOPE is to give people living with HIV an active role in designing ways to fight the HIV epidemic and in planning a positive future for themselves and their loved ones.

The activities carried out through the HOPE Project include free HIV-testing, individual counseling and awareness raising campaigns about health and nutrition related issues. Various outreach activities are carried out in the local communities, workplaces and schools by the specially trained HOPE Field Officers.

The members of the Positive Living Clubs and Youth Clubs are given a central role in coordinating some of the activities. Among them are the after-school learning clubs for local orphan and vulnerable children (OVC) and the activities related to cultivating vegetable gardens and breeding animals.

TC-TBStriving to Stop the Spread of Tuberculosis

With an estimated tuberculosis prevalence rate of 490 per 100,000 (WHO, 2011), Mozambique is one

of the 22 High Burden Countries of the world. Given that the risk of developing tuberculosis (TB) is estimated to be between 12-20 times greater in people living with HIV than among those without HIV infection (WHO, 2014), it comes as no surprise that Mozambique has a particularly high co-infection rate (estimated at 50%). In addition to being a serious health problem among the general population, TB is therefore the leading cause of death among people living with HIV as well.

The ADPP TC-TB program focuses on reducing the spread of Tuberculosis and related deaths by increasing its early diagnosis and treatment in the communities. The approach is equal to that adopted in the TCE Program with emphasis given to door-to-door campaigning, voluntary testing and personal counseling. It also relies on the close cooperation between the TC-TB Field Officers and local health centers as well as the active participation of local volunteers.

The TC-TB Program is currently implemented in the Provinces of Sofala, Manica and Zambezia in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of Mozambique. To date, it has reached 1,774,987 people.

In 2013, ADPP was also carrying out a TB REACH Program in Zambezia Province reaching over 1.8 million Mozambicans. Implemented in the context of the WHO-led international STOP TB Partnership, the objective of the Program is to increase access to faster and better testing services. One of the most innovative aspects of the ADPP TB REACH approach is to mobilize schoolteachers and children as active volunteers in detecting TB in their local communities.

MAIN RESULTS OF THE TC-TB PROGRAM IN 2013:

• 32,600 people reached by information related to Tuberculosis through the TC-TB Program

• 5,626 TB suspect cases identified• 922 of the suspect cases diagnosed with TB (with the quality of suspect rate

being 1/6)• 780 patients out of having completed treatment and cured from TB during 2013• 143 practitioners of traditional medicine were trained in early detection of TB • 35 radio programs on TB broadcasted in local radios

The Story of Faife Lazaro, 51 years, Sofala Province:“I became sick in September 2012. I had constant fevers but could not figure out what caused my illness. I had gone to various traditional healers and tried numerous treatments, but without any luck.

Then one day in April an ADPP Field Officer named Bonifacio came by my house to talk about HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis. He saw me lying and coughing severely and got worried about my health. He asked me to give a sample from my saliva by spitting into two vials: once in the afternoon and once the next morning. The following day, Bonifacio came to fetch the samples and took them to the laboratory for analysis. I was diagnosed with tuberculosis.

Bonifacio then took me to the hospital, made me start the treatment and explained the whole treatment process. After two months, I went for a control exam. The result was now negative, but Bonifacio urged me to continue with the treatment. He said the result was not definitive yet.

Five months later came a day I will always remember: the 28th of August 2013. I went for a control exam and the nurse who brought the negative result said that I could stop taking the medicine. I was now cured, finally!

Today, I am a TB activist myself. So far I have identified 3 people with symptoms of tuberculosis and encouraged them go to the hospital.”

Farmers’ ClubsFostering Food Security and Income Generation Among Small-Scale Farmers

The ADPP Farmers’ Club Program was first launched in Mozambique in 2006.

Its mission is to increase food security and household income among rural populations by organizing smallholder farmers into clubs, training them in efficient and sustainable conservation farming techniques, enhancing their access to well managed water resources and improving their access to local and regional markets through increased market linkages and training in commercialization of their products, pricing and marketing.

The beneficiary farmers have been successful in increasing and diversifying their crop yields, enhancing access to low-cost irrigation, improving their nutrition, and in creating significant extra income. This has led to doubling the area of cultivated land and tripling the farmers’ household income over time.

Since the beginning of the Program in 2006, the Farmers’ Club Program has benefitted over 16,050 farmers in 7 different provinces and reached altogether 150,000 people in these areas. It has shown to be an effective and sustainable way of addressing the most pressing questions of rural food insecurity and poverty and to respond well to the factual needs of rural populations in the country. Today, the Farmers’ Clubs are an integral part of the Sector Wide Approach for Agriculture in Mozambique.

With over 80% of the population in Mozambique gaining their livelihood

from agriculture, it is by far the most important source for household income in the country.

However, and despite the country’s huge agricultural potential, the average production levels remain very low and are extremely vulnerable to weather related changes. This is largely due to the widespread use of traditional manual farming methods, low-yield seed varieties and the lack of agricultural inputs such as pesticides and fertilizers.

As a result, agriculture in Mozambique consists predominately of subsistence farming (80%) and only rarely becomes an economically viable option for extra

AGRICULTUREincome. This, in turn, perpetuates the vicious circle of poverty in the rural areas and results in the country’s food security remaining highly volatile.

It is in this context that ADPP Mozambique has elaborated programs that aim to empower small and medium farmers: namely, the Farmers’ Clubs and the Cashew and Rural Development Centre of Itoculo. In line with the Government of Mozambique’s Strategic Agricultural Plan (PEDSA) 2011-2020, the objective of these programs is to contribute to the transformation of agriculture into a competitive and sustainable sector that increases the overall food security in the country and raises the incomes of rural households in Mozambique.

The Farmers’ Club Program is organized in such a way that each Farmers’ Club has 25-50 members and each group of 5 Farmers’ Clubs is supported by a Farming

Instructor and a Farmers’ Club Committee. The Farming Instructors are specially trained extension agents that work and live in the communities in which the program is implemented. The Committee is composed of 5 local farmers, both men and women, who are trained in the management and planning of the clubs and in taking the responsibility of the long-term continuation of the Program.

The objective of the Clubs is to demonstrate the important advantages of being organized into associations: in addition to offering peer support, they provide an access to new information through training, new farming supplies and equipment through co-sharing, better negotiation power in the markets through joint sales activities and, eventually, to external funds and other financial resources. The idea of the Clubs is not to be a rigid structure but an open forum for learning, cooperation and mutual support. In this way, they provide a practice-based and change-driven tool for the sustainable growth of the rural communities.

Various issues related to sustainable farming techniques are discussed during the trainings, including conservation farming, pot holing and intercropping, and put into practice in the demonstration fields. The installation of water pumps, accompanied by training in water management and irrigation, is also a standard component of the Program.

As all ADPP programs, the Farmers’ Club Program also includes interventions in the crosscutting areas of health, literacy, gender and human rights. The farmers are also trained in climate change issues as a ways to strengthen their capacities in mitigating and adapting to the negative effects of global warming and ensuring food security in the future.

In 2013, ADPP Mozambique implemented two Farmers’ Club Programs in Sofala and Cabo Delgado Provinces, reaching to a total of 6,700 small-scale farmers in the selected districts. In addition to the above-mentioned activities, both Programs included activities in animal husbandry and business development.

MAIN RESULTS OF THE FARMERS’ CLUBS IN 2013:

• 50,000 people were reached by the Farmers’ Club program in the provinces of Cabo Delgado and Sofala

• 5,050 members of the Farmers´ Clubs were trained in improved agricultural techniques, including bloc farming and conservation agriculture

• Most of them also received a training in commercialization of their products, pricing and marketing

• Over 79% of the farmers now produce cash crops with market potential• Over 80% of the farmers have joined their sales activities together in order to

increase their negotiation power for better prices

“Our Life Has Greatly Improved” “The Farmers’ Club Project taught me techniques that I didn’t know before, including how to prepare farmlands in blocks and how to practice conservation agriculture. My crops increased and the quality improved a lot. Where we with difficulty produced one hectare before, we now produce a hectare and a half. This is very good for us.”

The person speaking is Jaena Patrick, a farmer from Nacoja, Bilibiza District, Cabo Delgado Province, and member of a Farmers’ Club since 2008.

“We now earn more money and our life has greatly improved. I now have enough money to build my house and to put my children to school. I can also afford to buy new clothes for them and pay the hospital when they are sick,” summarizes Jaena and adds, visibly happy: “I can also now buy flour to make cakes and sell them. This is my other job.“

At 35 years, Jaena does not seem to have limited her dreams to the present. “My future is in improving the techniques I learned from the Farmers’ Club. In addition to making more money, I can in this way also better help my community. My future is not limited, as it was before!” she says with conviction.

MAIN RESULTS OF THE ADPP CASHEW CENTER IN 2013:

• 54,000 kg of cashew nut was harvested at the Cashew Center, of which 24,000 kg was sold to provide for the salaries and running costs of the Center and the remaining part was dried to be sold during 2014

• 3,600 bottles of cashew juice were produced and sold• 7,022 local farmers from the districts of Monapo, Mecota, Muecate and

Mogincual were trained in cashew production • 123,624 cashew seedlings were distributed to local farmers• 2 new pre-schools were constructed and are now running on a daily basis• Altogether 2,723 children were enrolled in the ADPP supported pre-schools

The Cashew and Rural Development Centre of Itoculo, located in northern province of Nampula, was first launched in 1996. Since the beginning, its objective has

been twofold:

1. to increase the livelihoods of local small-scale farmers through training them in sustainable farming techniques, in particular in cashew cultivation, production and related agro-processing, and secondly,

2. to contribute to the overall wellbeing of the local communities through various activities promoting education, health and hygiene, including constructing and rehabilitating water systems, building latrines and establishing pre-schools.

The Center consists of the Training Centre facilities, a 110-hectare cashew plantation, various cashew processing units and a chestnut and cashew juice factory. The Program is also supporting the running of 67 pre-schools in the surrounding communities.

In addition to providing a venue and demonstration fields for the various trainings, the Center also has its own cashew production. The cashew nuts are sold on the local markets and the juice, produced from the cashew fruit (the cashew apple).

Climate change is today an indisputable fact. Its effects will have

a major impact on the lives of people around the world, and in particular of the rural poor, making them even more vulnerable to draughts, floods, and other natural disasters.

As a ways to contribute to the efforts in fighting climate change and mitigating its negative effects, ADPP Mozambique has engaged itself in several projects related to the development and dissemination of renewable energy sources. The objective of these projects is to provide rural communities with an access to alternative types of energy, such as solar energy, biogas and biofuel, to promote the use of energy-saving devices, such as firewood-saving stoves, and to encourage related small-scale business.

MAIN RESULTS OF THE RENEWABLE ENERGIES PROGRAMS IN 2013:

• 41 solar charging stations, with 60 lanterns each, were installed• 20,400 people currently benefit from the solar charging stations• 350 local entrepreneurs were trained in using solar energy and in managing a

business• 1,234 attended the literacy classes• Over 1.2 million trees were planted and around 4,000 firewood-saving stoves

built

Among the major ADPP projects related to renewable energies is a project focused on promoting the use of solar energy for lighting and charging mobile phones. To

this end, ADPP has established altogether 41 solar charging stations in a total of 30 villages in Cabo Delgado and Maputo provinces. The objective is to provide altogether 18,000 people with a sustainable source for energy and a total of 40 community based organizations with an environmentally friendly source of income. Thanks to the lanterns, the local families now have lighting at night so that children can do their homework and adults their household chores even after nightfall. The extra lighting also allows for literacy classes and various income-generating activities to take place in the evening.

The same model was implemented at the ADPP One World University (OWU) in Changalane district, Maputo Province, where the project was integrated to the curriculum of the 2nd and 3rd year students. Altogether 40 local entrepreneurs and community leaders were trained in the use of solar energy and in managing their own business.

All of the charging stations offer both mobile phone charging services and lanterns for rent. It is estimated that altogether 20,400 people are currently benefitting from the solar charging stations in Cabo Delgado in Maputo Provinces.

Among the other ADPP projects related to renewable energies is the BBC Bilibiza Biofuel Center, a research and production center located in Cabo Delgado Province that mobilizes and trains local farmers to produce biofuel, bio-pesticides and soap from the oil-rich and drought-resistant jatropha tree. The jatropha processing waste is also used in 1 of the 5 biodigesters, located in various sites in Bilibiza, which produce biogas for the local communities.

MAIN RESULTS OF THE SALES OF SECOND HAND CLOTHES PROGRAM IN 2013:

• 7,456tonsofsecondhandclothesweresoldin2013• Around5,500,000peoplebenefitfromthegoodqualityandaffordableclothesofADPPMozambique

• 50 tons of clothes were distributed to the victims of the 2013 floods inChiaquelane,ChókwèandChibutorefugeecampsinGaza,benefittingatotalof10,736families

ADPP Mozambique first began working in the area of second hand clothes in 1984 when the clothes donated and sent from various European countries were

distributed to people affected by the on-going civil war as part of emergency aid.

The selling of the second hand clothes began 4 years later in 1988 with the establishment of the first sorting and processing center in Maputo. The first sales outlets opened in Maputo and Nacala in 1990 and in Beira in 1991.

Today, the sales of second hand clothes and footwear constitute one of the key fundraising methods of ADPP Mozambique. It is estimated that at least 5,500,000 people buy the ADPP second hand clothes annually from the 30 wholesale outlets and 18 retail HUMANA stores. The income generated from the clothes sales contributes to the funding of many of the development programs implemented by the organization and most of the start up initiatives that would otherwise have no funding.

In addition to creating funds for development and providing access to affordable and good quality clothes to rural populations, the processing and sale of the ADPP second hand clothes has created over 520 permanent jobs at ADPP and offers a source of living for another 6,500 independent small-scale entrepreneurs and retailers in the country. Most of them are self-employed entrepreneurs, employing a large number of people themselves.

Fundraising through the Sales of Second Hand Clothes Program

ADPP PartnersThe work of ADPP Mozambique would not be possible without the invaluable support from its various partners. During its over 30 years of existence, ADPP Mozambique has built solid relations with the Government of Mozambique, the local and international development community and various private sector entities, each contributing to and supporting different areas of activity.

way, they not only share the everyday life withthe communities and thereby better understand their problems, they also gain the confidence and support of the local population.”

After over 23 years of experience, Sarmento Preço is convinced that a Project Leader holds a powerful position in the development of the country. “Working as a Project Leader means that you are actually changing people’s lives for the better in a very concrete way,” he states. “And this can only happen together with them, working shoulder-to-shoulder with them.”

THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT ALLThe National Headquarters of ADPP Mozambique, including the Partnership Office and the Department of Economy and Administration, is located in Machava, Maputo Province. The National HQ works to support the smooth running of the altogether 82 ADPP projects with their over 2,700 staff and countless local volunteers contributing to them.

“The primary role of a Project Leader is to serve. He or she is there to serve the project and its members so that they in turn can serve the communities in which they operate,” says Sarmento Simões Preço, ADPP Project Leader since 1991 and Director of the ADPP Teacher Training College since 2007.

“This brings with it a great responsibility,” he adds. “It means to use the freedom given to develop one’s own initiatives in the best possible manner, in an open and two-way collaboration with the local communities and the project staff. This is far from the traditional project structures where the objectives and means of the activities come from outside and the people implementing the project are not connected with the local community.”

The ADPP project staff, including the Project Leader, is from the local community and live within the community for the whole duration of the project, explains Sarmento. “In this

Project Leaders – Key staff at ADPP

ADPP Mozambique believes that the most sustainable development change happens on the grassroots level: in the hearts and minds of individual people and within of the dynamics of each particular community. This is why the ADPP Project Leaders who live in the communities and work with them in an inclusive and participative way are of such importance for the work of the organization. The ADPP Project Leaders have the overall responsibility of the planning, coordination and execution of the project activities in the field and of developing the necessary project policies in coordination with the ADPP Headquarters.

Project Leaders Serving the People

“Passionates”Volunteers in the field

Real development change happens in the minds of people and translates into dedicated and motivated individuals who are willing to take action. It is therefore not a surprise that many of the ADPP programs benefit from the regular support and significant contribution of local volunteers.

These ADPP volunteers are called “Passionates” and they work in various tasks ranging from cooking schools meals for children to mobilizing HIV-positive people into peer support clubs and assisting orphan children in their homework.

The contribution of the volunteers is crucial: they set a strong role model for a positive behavior change in the communities in which they work.

Development Instructors (DI)

The Development Instructor (DI) Program is a program coordinated by the International Humana People to People Federation. Its main objective is to offer a possibility for anyone to contribute to development change through one of the Humana People to People development programs.

The DI program includes a 6-month training period in one of the Humana training institutes in Europe, USA, South Africa, India or China, followed by a 6-month practice period in one of the development programs. At the end, the DIs write a report on their experience and disseminate their experiences in their countries of origin.

The Program is based on volunteerism and the spirit of international solidarity. The DIs receive a symbolic compensation for their work but cover most of the costs of the training and travel by themselves.

In 2013, there were 38 DIs working in the various ADPP Mozambique Programs.

“Working as a Development Instructor in Mozambique was a life-changing experience,” says Dario Alvarez Castro, a 25-year old engineering student from Colombia. “It gave more meaning to all of my life projects and convinced me of the importance of putting my engineering skills into practice through community work. It was also important for my personal growth.”

Dario did his DI training at the United States after which he travelled for his 6-month practice period to the ADPP Teacher Training College in Tete, Mozambique. While the challenges in Colombia and Mozambique are similar, working closely with a local community in responding to their specific needs also brings up differences. “In this sense, working in Mozambique was an eye-opener,” Dario admits. “Not only did it clear any doubts about education being the most important area in development – it also made me realize the importance of recognizing and building on existing human capacities.”
