Executive Summary and Findings

1. This report presents the findings of an internal World Bank rapid assessment of

donor assistance and coordination mechanisms in Mozambique. Along with a parallel review

of Mozambique’s aid data information system, ODAmoz, this report aims to inform development

partner (DP) dialogue on aid coordination and information systems. The report presents data

collected from existing donor coordination mechanism in key aid sectors, along with findings

from interviews with sector specialists at the World Bank and other DPs about sector

coordination and policy dialogue. The report documents the type of information gathered by each

sector coordination group and identifies data gaps and coordination challenges created by the

current system.

2. The main findings from this assessment are as follows:

(a) Mozambique has no central data collection tool that is adequately collecting aid

data. ODAmoz—the Government of Mozambique’s (GoM) aid information

management system (AIMS), whose objective is exactly this—is neither well

utilized nor seen as a functional platform for collecting and accessing information on

sector projects and investments. In sector groups that have tried to adopt ODAmoz

as a platform, such as the Health Working Group, DPs resisted adoption due to low

awareness about ODAmoz’s purpose and fears that a parallel data collection system

would interfere or overlap with other mechanisms, such as data entry into the GoM’s

integrated financial and information management system (IFMIS), the State

Electronic System of Financial Administration (e-Sistema de Administração

Financeira do Estado, e-SISTAFE).1

(b) The quality and quantity of data collected by sector coordination groups on

projects and financing are highly variable. Not all sector coordination groups are

active in tracking project or funding data. In sectors that do keep records, most

collect data only on annual commitments; some simply note the total budget and

expected time frame. Fewer sectors—that is, agriculture, health, and education—

also collect data on actual disbursements, geographic location, specific subsector

support, or expected outputs of projects. In addition, most sectors collect data in

U.S. dollars, while others collect data in Mozambican meticais. These large

variations between data collection methods limit the accuracy of cross-sector

comparisons, as well as the compatibility of the data collected within ODAmoz.

Table 13 demonstrates the wide variety of fields captured as well as the non-

comprehensive nature of countrywide collection efforts, respectively.

(c) Sectorwide approaches (SWAps), which provide a formal framework for DP

coordination and DP-GoM policy dialogue, have been very successful in

collecting aid data, particularly for the education and health sectors. In some

cases, these coordination mechanisms have high transaction costs for DPs; however,

where the GoM takes strong leadership and direction for the sector, they can

1 These findings were corroborated by the parallel functional and technical assessment of ODAmoz conducted by

the task team. See the World Bank’s non-lending technical assistance (NLTA) on Aid Data Management (2017).

MZ: Rapid Donor Data Collection and Donor Coordination Mechanisms Report

2

facilitate the adoption of common strategies, national systems, and reporting

frameworks that can limit transaction costs across all stakeholders. Unsurprisingly,

SWAps appear to be most successful when the line ministries take a strong,

proactive role in promoting DP alignment to sector priorities and encouraging DPs

to use common funding mechanisms. The establishment of new SWAps and the

strengthening of existing ones appear to be the surest ways of improving donor

coordination and aid data management.

3. Based on these findings, this report suggests the following three broad recommendations:

(a) Improved guidance for sector working groups on best practices for data

collection and use in sector coordination groups should be provided. If

ODAmoz continues to operate as the central repository for on-budget and off-budget

DP projects and funding, DP representatives should receive regular training and

support on its use and functions. This should include clear explanations about the

relationship between ODAmoz and other reporting requirements, such as e-

SISTAFE.

(b) Expectations of donor coordination working groups should be clarified as part

of the Program Aid Partner (PAP) process, by ODAmoz or by the Ministry of

Economy and Finances (Ministério da Economia e Finanças, MEF). Without a

centralized body to monitor and standardize data collection across sectors,

information is likely to continue to be ad hoc, incomplete, and of little use for

monitoring overall progress on aid effectiveness.

(c) Standard templates for further data collection should be developed to include a

core set of basic fields and standard guidelines that sector coordination groups

could then customize based on the additional, sector-specific information they

needed. Such templates could pull basic aid information from ODAmoz, limiting

double reporting from DPs while also ensuring buy-in for a centralized database of

core data.

4. This report also documented a number of sector-specific recommendations based on

consultations with sector stakeholders. In general, recommendations focused on the need for

stronger ministerial ownership of sector strategies, a broadening of working group mandates to

leverage existing institutions for heightened impact, and systematization and standardization of

data collection mechanisms.

Sector Recommendations

Agriculture Establish a multistakeholder coordination mechanism led by the GoM and MASA to

mobilize funding, monitor progress, and lead policy dialogue.

Strengthen coordination between AgRED and other sector coordination groups to

coordinate on cross-cutting policy areas, including agri-business, seeds, or food security.

Conservation Expand the mandate of the Conservation Working Group to discuss policy issues, such as

the creation of an independent institution, and joint objectives, such as raising the profile

of conservation issues.

Education Ensure greater ministerial coordination with FASE at the technical levels.

MINEDH seeks to leverage DPs’ experience more upstream of the policy formulation

process.

Sector Recommendations

Environment

and Climate

Change

Expand the mandate of the ECCWG to allow for policy dialogue, particularly around

forest management and climate change, that would help direct policy discussions and

expand engagement with Government partners.

MICOA takes a more proactive role in guiding the agenda of the working group to

address sector priorities and discuss a pooled funding mechanism.

Fisheries Hold more regular, structured meetings of the Fisheries Donor Coordination Group to

improve sector organization and engage partners on policy issues.

The Fisheries Donor Coordination Group establishes stronger connections to other groups,

including agriculture and conservation.

Health Adjust or expand IFE categories to use more than just PESS fields, to better allow for

reporting of provincial and district activities.

Link IFE data to government accounting systems to facilitate its use by MISAU during

annual planning and budgeting processes.

Strengthen monitoring and evaluation capacity in the sector.

Infrastructure

(Roads) ANE encourages nontraditional donors to coordinate with the SWAp.

ANE and DPs collaborate to channel more funding into the common fund.

PFM PFM Coordination Group to establish expectations of more timely and disaggregated

financial data on ongoing and pipeline projects.

Social

Protection The GoM exerts stronger leadership to ensure that differences among DPs no longer

stymie the potential for the SAWG to play an effective role in sector policy dialogue.

The SAWG encourages INAS and DPs to collaborate in collecting and managing key

missing data needed to establish social protection systems.

Water and

Sanitation DNA provides clearer guidance and leadership to ensure that DPs do not pursue their own

agendas instead of aligning with Government priorities.

GAS encourages better data reporting by DPs, as well as by provincial and district offices,

on water supply, coverage, and completed works.

GAS seeks out additional support to strengthen the Government’s information collection

and use.

Introduction

1. This report is the output of a rapid assessment of donor assistance and coordination

mechanisms in Mozambique. The objectives of the assessment were to review and compile the

donor coordination mechanisms and sources of information on ongoing and planned projects and

financing collected by donor coordination working groups in key sectors. The findings also

helped inform—and were informed by—the World Bank’s parallel review of the systemic issues

hampering effective aid data management and the functioning of ODAmoz, Mozambique’s aid

information management system (AIMS), as part of the World Bank’s broader non-lending

technical assistance to the sector.

2. Aid coordination mechanisms in Mozambique have historically been robust;

however, recent years have seen declining donor participation rates. Previously, donor

coordination was conducted through the framework of the Program Aid Partners (PAPs), which

was established in early 2000. Participation in the PAP mechanism has declined since 2007,

however, and information on development partner (DP) activities has become more limited. The

Government of Mozambique (GoM) previously used ODAmoz to coordinate and manage aid

information; however, ODAmoz has faced technical challenges since 2015 and is not currently

used by DPs. Instead, aid data information is now coordinated through sector working groups

using varied data collection methods and procedures.2 This fragmented system, along with

limited administrative capacity within some working groups, has resulted in significant data

gaps.

3. The assessment was conducted by a research team within the Governance Global

Practice from August to November 2016. An initial desk review of policy documents and

existing reports was done to confirm the current role and function of aid effectiveness systems

and sector coordination structures in Mozambique. The team then interviewed technical

specialists at the World Bank Office in Maputo and consulted with representatives from other DP

participants in the working groups (see Annex I for a list of interviewees).

4. This report is structured to present the results of this desk review and interview

process by sector. The first chapter provides a brief overview of the aid effectiveness

framework in Mozambique. The remaining chapters present sector overview summaries on

Agriculture, Conservation, Education, Environment and Climate Change, Fisheries, Health,

Infrastructure (Roads), Public Financial Management, Social Protection, and Water and

Sanitation, with seven sections: background, objective, structure, financing coordination,

additional coordination mechanisms, conclusions, and recommendations for improved donor

coordination and aid data collection. Recommendations are based on the direct feedback from

sector stakeholders.

5. Each section includes a snapshot of projects over US$1 million.3 Data was collected

from sector spreadsheets, which are developed by each working group and circulated among DPs

2 An overview of the different data fields collected within each sector is provided in Annex III, Table 13.

3 Throughout this report, data on project commitments is presented in US$, millions. Calculations between

Mozambican meticais (MZN) and US$ use moving annual exchange rates from the World Bank. As Environment

and Climate Change did not have any projects over US$1 million, projects over US$100,000 were included. While

for inputs. Spreadsheet formats are non-standard, with varying fields and data formats—an

overview of these fields is presented in Annex II as a way of identifying which data fields are

universally applicable and which are sector specific. Data was collected for eight sectors, which

covers US$4.7 billion of donor funding (active and pipeline, for 2014 and 2015), summarized in

Table 1; to put this in perspective, gross total official development assistance (ODA) for 2014

and 2015 was US$4.2 billion.4 Data collected in the project spreadsheets includes off-budget

projects that are not captured by other aid data platforms, including ODAmoz or the State

Electronic System of Financial Administration (e-Sistema de Administração Financeira do

Estado, e-SISTAFE) (see Annex III for a comparison of platforms). Data was then compared to

ODAmoz data and the World Bank’s BOOST data for validation. The resulting project

information is presented in tables for each sector in the report.

6. The PAPs group is the main mechanism for donor coordination in Mozambique.5

The PAP is a group of 16 DPs6 that promote better donor coordination and serve as a platform

data was collected for all projects in each sector, only projects over US$1 million are presented in the tables, as they

capture the most significant DP investments in each sector and streamline the report for readability. 4 This includes neither pipeline project funds nor nontraditional donor funds, which are not counted in ODA figures.

5 Most donors participate in the Development Partners Group (DPG), which includes donors who are not formal

members of the PAP.

for negotiations with the Government. The PAP group also coordinated General Budget Support

(GBS) 7

for the Government’s five-year development plan (plano quinquenal do governo, PQG)

with a specific focus on poverty reduction. In 2015, the GoM and DPs defined the terms for GBS

in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The MoU specifies the structure for policy dialogue

through two annual meetings, the Annual Review and the Planning Meeting, as well as through a

common Performance Assessment Framework (PAF).8

Mozambique was often cited as a leader in donor coordination, having started the PAP

PAP process in early 2000. The GoM and DPs established the PAP in line with the Paris Aid

Effectiveness Principles and DP commitments to strengthen harmonization and the use of

country systems. The PAP grew quickly from a group of 4 participating DPs to 19 by 2009.9

Despite strong early progress and DP support, however, GBS reached a peak of 34 percent of

total aid in 2007, then declined 24 percent by 2012, due to low levels of control over aid funding,

governance issues, and slow progress on poverty reduction goals.10

Total donor contributions to

GBS have also stagnated in the last few years (see

6 Donors include African Development Bank (AfDB), Austria, Canada, the European Union (EU), Finland, France,

Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the World Bank. See

Table 2 for details. 7 General Budget Support (GBS) is a type of aid modality which is defined by the Organisation for Economic Co-

operation and Development (OECD) as “unearmarked contributions to the government budget [… that] are managed

in accordance with the recipient’s budgetary procedures.” GBS, which provides external financing that is both on-

budget and on-treasury, is considered a key tool in promoting country ownership of development, in line with the

aid effectiveness principles established in the Paris Declaration and the Busan Partnership. See the OECD’s

classifications of types of aid: http://www.oecd.org/dac/stats/44479737.pdf. 8 The PAP includes several key non-sector working groups such as the Poverty Analysis/Monitoring Systems

(PAMS) and the Budget Analysis Group (BAG) that support the monitoring of PAP progress. 9 See the EU’s National Indicative Program for 2013–2020. Available at

7. Table 2 for an overview of donor participation and commitments from 2013 to 2015).

Reports on the performance of the GoM and DPs through the PAF document indicate declining

participation rates in the GBS mechanism.11

The rising importance of nontraditional DPs—

particularly China and Brazil, which have yet to join the PAP process—add to this trend.

8. The PAP has been supported by 29 thematic and sector-specific working groups

since 2009, including working groups on cross-cutting themes, which include active

engagement from partners outside of the PAP process. Sector working groups were

established as the central coordination mechanism for policy dialogue to guide the PAP process.

The most recent review of the PAP process concluded, however, that this policy dialogue is

fragmented; overly complicated; and does not adequately link research, debate, and policy

development.12

Starting in 2016, under the new GBS MoU, donor contributions will be

coordinated through 16 subgroups within four working groups: National Systems, Inclusive

Growth, Governance and Accountability, and Effective Service Delivery.

9. In addition to the PAP process, many donors have collaborated to strengthen

specific sectors through sector budget support or common funds. Common funds provide

donors with an opportunity to channel on-budget support that makes use of country systems and

allows for additional control in ensuring that aid funding is spent effectively.13

Common funds

have been established in education, health, agriculture, water and sanitation, roads, social

protection, fisheries, public financial management (PFM), and statistics. Use of common fund

systems has also been in decline, however, as has on-budget project support.14

In the last review

of PAPs’ targets for 2014, for example, only 34 percent of aid provided to Mozambique was

channeled through the national budget, capturing only a small subset of overall donor

engagement.

10. Sector working groups play an important role leading policy dialogue and technical

collaboration between the Government and DPs, both for PAP donors and other aid

modalities. DPs that provide aid external to the GBS, either through common funds or project

interventions, also engage sector working groups to coordinate activities, ensuring alignment

with government plans and priorities and avoiding duplication with other sector donors. These

working groups, however, often lack the administrative capacity to maintain records of sector-

specific projects and funding, and they vary greatly in their level of institutionalization,

cooperation, and engagement in policy dialogue.

11. In 2016, support for GBS, common funding, and on-budget funding modalities has

fallen sharply, a direct result of concerns about budget transparency associated with the

discovery in April of previously undisclosed loans and the lack of an agreement with the

11

European Commission 2014. 12

European Commission 2014. 13

Common funds, or basket funds, are accounts for sector-specific or program-specific purposes, which are jointly

managed by DPs and the Government. Common funds are often associated with sectorwide approaches (SWAps),

which have shared project documents, funding contracts, and reporting procedures. Common funds use country

budget systems but may be channeled externally to the treasury using separate accounts. See the OECD’s definitions

of aid modalities in footnote 8. 14

Project interventions are donor interventions that are channeled outside of government systems, and they may be

reported on- or off-budget, depending on the donor.

International Monetary Fund (IMF). While the GoM has taken steps toward restoring

confidence among DPs, there is little expectation that this will change in the near future. As

such, going forward, GBS funding and common funding mechanisms may see a decline in use

unless the GoM takes measures of paramount importance in addressing fiduciary risks.

I: Agriculture

12. Background. The main coordination mechanism for agriculture investments is the

donor-led Development Partners Group for Agriculture and Rural Development (AgRED)

Group. AgRED was created in 2011 to replace the donor harmonization arrangements supporting

the prior SWAp, post-Agricultural Sector Strategy and Expenditure Program (Programa de

Desenvolvimento Agrícola, PROAGRI). PROAGRI I and II had been the primary coordination

mechanisms since 1998 and included a common fund to pool resources in support of

Government programs. PROAGRI I, which was completed in 2005, was seen as having

strengthened agricultural institutions, but it was criticized for having had limited efforts on direct

service delivery. PROAGRI II, which was developed in 2006, addressed these concerns;

however, only 8 of the original 15 DPs signed on. The PROAGRI approach was officially

disbanded in May 2011. It was then that the Government developed a new strategic plan for

agriculture in alignment with the regional Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development

Program (CAADP) approach.15

The Strategy and Plan for Agro-Development (Plano Estratégico

de Desenvolvimento Agrário, PEDSA) and National Agriculture Investment Plan (Plano

Nacional de Investimentos no Sector Agrário, PNISA) were developed as multi-institutional

frameworks to mobilize investments for agriculture and agriculture-supporting activities such as

roads, nutrition, and agricultural education.

13. Objective. The objective of AgRED is to strengthen the overall development

effectiveness of support provided to the agriculture sector by harmonizing DPs’ interventions

and by promoting coordinated and efficient policy dialogue with the GoM. AgRED’s priorities

include joint dialogue with the Government on operationalizing the CAADP agenda, specifically

implementing the PEDSA and PNISA, exploring co-funding modalities, and improving the PFM

systems in the sector.

14. Structure. The AgRED group includes approximately 30 agencies and is chaired on a

rotational basis between the World Bank (the current chair), EU, and United States Agency for

International Development (USAID). The group meets monthly and communicates joint

messages to the GoM on a regular basis through heads of mission and the official G-14 dialogue.

The main government counterpart for the group is the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security

(Ministério da Agricultura e Segurança Alimentar, MASA), which attends some meetings when

invited to discuss particular topics. AgRED is a single body without any subgroups; however,

such an organizational disaggregation has been proposed by the World Bank as a potential way

to increase technical engagement on issues such as seeds, food security, and agri-business.

15. Financing coordination. Sector investments are tracked through an MS Excel

spreadsheet, external to ODAmoz, that are categorized by PNISA programs. MASA also has the

mandate to track PNISA implementation, including contributions from DPs and the private

sector, through a multistakeholder coordination mechanism; however, such a group is yet to be

established.

15

The CAADP is coordinated and driven by the African Union and supported by donors, and it provides a

continent-wide harmonized agriculture development approach. PNISA is the agriculture sector investment plan that

is based on the CAADP program and the policy/strategy PEDSA. Both PEDSA and PNISA are up for review in

2017.

MZ: Rapid Donor Data Collection and Donor Coordination Mechanisms Report

11

16. Additional coordination mechanisms. Within the agriculture sector, additional

coordination mechanisms have been established for donor coordination, separate from AgRED,

for the seed subsector, food security, nutrition, land tenure, and growth corridors.16

These

groups, while operating independently, share many common members with AgRED and have a

stronger focus on technical policy issues rather than donor coordination.

Seeds. The National Seed Committee coordinates with the Institute of Agricultural

Research of Mozambique (Instituto de Investigação Agrária de Moçambique, IIAM)

within MASA and serves as a platform to meet with DPs and solicit support for their

government programs for seed research and development.

Food security and nutrition. Coordination on food security and nutrition is done

through the Technical Secretariat for Food Security and Nutrition (Secretariado

Técnico de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional, SETSAN), a coordinating body

within MASA. Food fortification, a key component of the nutrition agenda, is also

coordinated by the GoM through the National Committee for Food Fortification in

Mozambique (Comité Nacional para a Fortificação de Alimentos Moçambique,

CONFAM), which is co-chaired by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce

(Ministério da Indústria e Comércio, MIC) and the Ministry of Health (Ministério

da Saúde, MISAU).

Land tenure. The Land Tenure Working Group is a DP-led working group, currently

chaired by the Netherlands, which convenes ad hoc meetings to share information on

programs. The working group also coordinates with the National Directorate of

Land (Direcção Nacional de Terras, DNAT) of the Ministry of Land, Environment,

and Rural Development (Ministério da Terra, Ambiente e Desenvolvimento Rural,

MITADER) to discuss options and recommendations on certifying community land

and transferable land rights (right of use and tenure [Direito do Uso e

Aproveitamento da Terra, DUATs]).

Growth corridors. The GoM strongly supports a growth corridor model to facilitate

private sector agriculture investments. Growth corridors vary in their coordination

strategy, with some, such as the Beira Agricultural Growth Corridor (BACG) and

the Zambezi Valley, operating as public-private partnerships (PPPs), and others,

such as the Triangular Co-operation Program for Agricultural Development of the

Tropical Savannah in Mozambique (Programa de Cooperação Tripartida para o

Desenvolvimento Agrícola da Savana Tropical em Moçambique, ProSAVANA), as

joint Government and DP initiatives. These groups are active in coordinating and

monitoring regional investments from both DPs and private sector partners.

17. Conclusions. The agriculture sector faces significant coordination challenges because of

the wide range of coordinating stakeholders, often spanning multiple sectors, which need to

collaborate to support development efforts in agriculture. Stakeholders interviewed deemed the

AgRED group as being effective at coordinating projects among DPs; however, the current

16

A coordination body on agri-business had previously been coordinated by SNV Mozambique, a local affiliate of a

Dutch nongovernmental organization (NGO); however, it stopped being active in 2015.

MZ: Rapid Donor Data Collection and Donor Coordination Mechanisms Report

12

working group structure does not allow for the cross-sectoral collaboration that is needed to

pursue reforms.

18. Recommendations

(a) Operationalize the multistakeholder coordination mechanism, which was defined by

PNISA within MASA but has yet to be operationalized, which will mobilize

funding, monitor progress, and lead policy dialogue.17

(b) The GoM and MASA should lead this process and coordination mechanism, as

AgRED is not a substitute for government leadership on multistakeholder

coordination with DPs and the private sector on PNISA implementation.

(c) Strengthen cross-sectoral coordination between agriculture and key partner sectors,

such as transportation, trade and commerce, and the financial sector, especially on

specific policy areas, such as agri-business, seeds, or food security, to identify the

reforms needed to develop the sector.

II: Conservation

19. Background. The donor coordination group on conservation issues was formed in

response to the GoM’s drafting of the Conservation Areas Law, which was approved in 2014.

DPs formed a platform first to discuss policy issues related to the law and then to present a

united platform to the GoM for discussion, instead of more fragmented forums. Following

passage of the law, this group of DPs has continued to meet informally as a forum to discuss

planned and ongoing projects.

20. Objective. The original objective of the Conservation Working Group was to allow for a

DP-Government policy dialogue around conservation. However, the group has since taken on a

coordination role for DPs to share research and discuss new and ongoing activities and, instead

of using the working group forum, policy dialogue is often conducted bilaterally between DPs

and the Government.

21. Structure. The Conservation Working Group is an informal, albeit highly active,

working group. It plays a key role in coordinating sector programs and policy dialogue with the

Government. The EU has taken the coordination lead for the group, although there is no formal

chair appointed, and USAID is also active in supporting coordination efforts. The working group

was not formally established as part of the GBS process, but it coordinates with relevant GoM

institutions, including MITADER’s National Administration for Conservation Areas

(Administração Nacional das Áreas de Conservação, ANAC), the lead institution for

conservation, as well as the National Institute for Tourism (Instituto Nacional do Turismo,

INATUR), which collects data on tourism in protected areas. As many members of the working

group have expressed support for the creation of an independent institution for conservation

issues, there may be the potential for policy dialogue on specific issues through the working

group forum.

22. Financing coordination. The main financing mechanism for conservation is the

Foundation for the Conservation of Biodiversity trust fund (BioFund), an endowment funding

mechanism established in 2014 and launched in 2015 as part of MozBio, the World Bank’s

Conservation Areas for Biodiversity and Development project. BioFund was established through

the broad support of stakeholders, including bilateral DPs such as Germany, France, and the

United States, as well as the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Global

Environment Facility (GEF), the World Bank, Conservation International, and the World

Wildlife Fund (WWF).

23. Additional coordination mechanisms

Biodiversity and parks. A related donor coordination working group on biodiversity

and parks coordinates with MITADER. It has not been active of late.

24. Conclusions. Current informal arrangements for the Conservation Working Group

appear to meet donor coordination objectives as a useful forum for exchanging information.

Nevertheless, the group could potentially be more active on policy dialogue issues.

15

25. Recommendations

(a) Expand the mandate of the Conservation Working Group to discuss policy issues,

such as the creation of an independent institution, and joint objectives, such as

raising the profile of conservation issues within the country.

(b) Secure additional resources and administrative support to ensure success of the

expanded working group.

III: Education

26. Background. Donor coordination in the education sector is done through a formalized,

structured working group and SWAp that receives strong leadership and direction from the

Ministry of Education and Human Development (Ministério da Educação e Desenvolvimento

Humano, MINEDH). DP coordination in education has a strong history, starting with an informal

SWAp in 1998. In 2012, DPs signed the first MoU for FASE to support the GoM’s Education

Strategic Plan. A formalized integrated SWAp was established in 2006, along with the second

phase of FASE. In 2012, the Government also established the Terms of Reference (ToR) for

dialogue between the MINEDH and DPs, along with the third phase of FASE, which is now

ongoing. With each iteration of FASE, the MINEDH has emphasized streamlining funding

through FASE, expanding technical dialogue and capacity building, and strengthening financial

monitoring.

27. Objective. The primary objective of FASE is to provide funding support to the Education

Sector Strategic Plan, which has been extended until 2019. This plan supports primary education,

secondary education, technical and vocational training, and literacy and adult education. Another

objective of FASE is to advance the aid effectiveness agenda: solidifying the MINEDH’s

leadership; ensuring donor alignment with Government priorities; and harmonizing procedures,

information sharing, and common reporting arrangements.

28. Structure. FASE has a clear and organized structure of working groups and high-level

meetings to facilitate policy and technical dialogue. Partners agree to the responsibility of an

annual rotating chair position, to facilitate coordination within FASE.18

FASE’s dialogue and

coordination system is extensive and inclusive, and it involves FASE partners,19

non-FASE

DPs,20

MINEDH and Provincial Education Directorates, and civil society. Working groups are

the main forum for discussion between the Government and DPs, meeting monthly and chaired

by the MINEDH National Directors, with separate groups established based on subsectors21

and

thematic issues.22

Inputs from these groups are raised at Joint Coordination Committee meetings,

which are also held monthly. They focus on policy dialogue; are chaired by MINEDH’s

Permanent Secretary; and include the DP Chair, National and Provincial Directors, and

representatives from other ministries.23

Annual Review Meetings, chaired by the Minister of

Education and including all relevant DPs and GoM officials, jointly assess progress from the

previous year and make plans for the following year. FASE also includes a system for parallel

coordination meetings between DPs, separate from the Government, including weekly

coordination meetings to monitor implementation, monthly thematic meetings, and cooperating

18

For example, in 2015, Finland was the chair, sharing responsibilities with the outgoing chair, United Nations

Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the incoming chair for the following year, Germany. 19

FASE partners include Canada, Finland, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, UNICEF, and the World Bank. 20

Non-FASE partners are DFID; USAID; JICA; International Labor Organization (ILO); United Nations

Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and

Deutscher Volkshochschul-Verband (DVV) International. 21

Sector Working Groups include Primary Education, Secondary Education, Higher Education, Technical and

Vocational Education, Literacy and Adult Education, and Administrative and Institutional Development. 22

Thematic Working Groups include Planning and Financial Management, Human Resources Development,

Teacher Training, School Construction, and Cross-cutting Issues. 23

Twice a year, an Extended Joint Coordination Committee meeting is held to include all DPs, which is also chaired

by the Permanent Secretary.

Page 26: Republic of Mozambique Rapid Donor Data …documents.worldbank.org/curated/pt/327361496317089690/...Republic of Mozambique Rapid Donor Data Collection and Donor Coordination Mechanisms

18

partners’ meetings to strengthen donor harmonization. FASE’s system of working groups and

coordination meetings, along with on-budget support and common reporting mechanisms, has

met all of its established objectives to date.

29. Financing coordination. FASE provides the core framework for DP financing in the

education sector, with 86 percent of DP funding channeled through this on-budget SWAp

financing mechanism in 2016. Internal Government funding accounts for 87 percent of total

spending, along with 2 percent that is financed through off-budget bilateral projects. Total FASE

investment levels had been increasing over the last decade, reaching almost US$140 million in

2014; however, this dropped in 2015 to only US$45 million. The World Bank has been the

largest financing partner for FASE, contributing 47 percent of all external financing since 2013.

In addition to the on-budget contributions of FASE partners, FASE is also beginning to pilot

results-based financing mechanisms, with targets linked to disbursements.24

30. Additional coordination mechanisms. FASE requires close coordination with other line

ministries, and the FASE coordination structure was developed to include partner ministries as

part of the dialogue process. In practice, however, some ministries have been less active in

coordinating on technical levels, which raises challenges for DPs trying to implement programs

and policies in these areas.

31. Conclusions. Overall, FASE appears to be a well-defined, effective, and inclusive

mechanism for donor coordination, policy dialogue, and pooled financing. FASE does face

challenges, many of which have been identified as part of its own monitoring and evaluation

process.

32. Recommendations

(a) Ensure greater ministerial coordination with FASE at the technical levels.

(b) The MINEDH seeks to leverage DPs’ experience more upstream of the policy

formulation process. Despite the robust system for policy coordination, in some

cases, DPs have only limited consultation with the MINEDH during the policy

development process. Policies are often presented to DPs only when they are

approved, which is often too late to provide substantive feedback.

IV: Environment and Climate Change

33. Background. The Environment and Climate Change Working Group (ECCWG) is the

donor coordination group established as part of the GBS process to coordinate support to

Mozambique’s efforts to address climate change and environmental policy. Mozambique’s key

strategy document guiding policy is the National Strategy for Gender, Environment, and Climate

Change, approved in 2010.25

Environmental and climate change issues are cross-cutting, with

important policy and implementation roles for other sector line ministries, such as agriculture,

energy, infrastructure/roads, and the management of coastal areas. Donor coordination in these

areas originally began as part of GBS, when an Environmental Working Group (EWG) was

established in 2007 to be chaired by the Ministry of Coordination of Environmental Affairs

(Ministério para a Coordenação da Acção Ambiental, MICOA) and include cross-sector

representation, including DPs, civil society, and the private sector. While the EWG was slow to

institutionalize, a parallel DP working group was established to harmonize policy dialogue

between DPs and the GoM, which by 2010 had become more active than the original EWG.26

The World Bank coordinates prior actions for its ongoing Development Policy Operation (DPO)

with the working group members. Members also coordinate on the development of local

adaption plans that have been developed in 35–40 districts.

34. Objective. The objective of the ECCWG is to facilitate discussion among DPs on

ongoing and planned programs. The ECCWG plays a limited role for sector policy dialogue,

however, and coordination takes place predominantly between DPs, with only limited

coordination with the Government. Much of the sector coordination on policy issues and strategy

takes place informally, outside of the ECCWG meetings.

35. Structure. The ECCWG is a formalized working group of approximately 20 DPs. The

working group was previously supported by the Netherlands and then the Danish International

Development Agency (DANIDA), and it is currently chaired by UNDP, which also provides

administrative support. Meetings are held every 2–3 months. The main Government counterpart

is MICOA. However, representatives from MITADER; MASA; Ministry of Public Works and

Housing (Ministério da Obras Públicas e Habitação, MOPH); Ministry of Mineral Resources

and Energy (Ministério dos Recursos Minerais e Energia, MIREME); Ministry of Fisheries; and

the National Institute of Disaster Management (Instituto Nacional de Gestão de Calamidades,

INGC) also attend.

36. Financing coordination. Budget support dialogue was the main coordination mechanism

for DPs; however, in recent years, as budget support has declined, this is now changing. UNDP

requests that DPs submit data on their budget support and off-budget projects and maintains this

database for the working group. On-budget support is managed through the Ministry of Economy

and Finances (Ministério da Economia e Finanças, MEF); however, it is not clear whether the

MEF is also collecting data on off-budget project investments. The World Bank is currently

supporting a Public Expenditure and Institutional Review of Climate Change with MITADER,

25

Climate change is also a key component of Component V in the Government’s PQG, which focuses on disaster

risk reduction and climate change adaptation. 26

21

which will draw on ODAmoz and, when completed, will be circulated with the ECCWG. There

have yet to be any discussions among DPs on the possibility of pooled funding mechanisms.

37. Additional coordination mechanisms

Forestry. A donor coordination group on forestry used to meet regularly, but it has

not been active in recent years. USAID and Sweden have previously been active in

sector coordination, and the World Bank is currently exploring options to provide

technical support to the WWF for strengthening sector coordination. A Forest

Investment Program (FIP) is being developed by the World Bank and other DPs,

including DFID; a coordination mechanism would be essential in starting policy

dialogue with the Government on this initiative. The main institutional partner for

the forestry sector is MITADER, which was previously part of MASA; some areas

of responsibility, such as forestry plantations, have yet to be clearly delegated.

Public sector inter-ministerial coordination. Concerns have been raised about the

effectiveness of public sector inter-ministerial coordination on climate change. The

National Council for Sustainable Development (Conselho Nacional de

Desenvolvimento Sustentável, CONDES) is the institution within the GoM that

should be coordinating cross-sector dialogue on environmental policy, including

climate change, conservation, and reforestation. Previous assessments, however,

have concluded that it has yet to fulfil this mandate.27

38. Conclusions. The current structure and functions of the ECCWG appear to be fulfilling

its core mandate for donor coordination. There may be untapped potential, however, in

expanding the role of the working group to include policy dialogue with the GoM.

39. Recommendations

(a) Expand the mandate of the ECCWG to allow for policy dialogue, particularly

around forest management and climate change, that would help direct policy

discussions and expand engagement with Government partners.

(b) MICOA should take a more proactive role in guiding the agenda of the working

group to address sector priorities, as well as discuss the possibility of pooled funding

mechanisms. Strengthened leadership from the Government could help ensure that

donor investments are aligned with the GoM’s planning and priorities.

V: Fisheries

40. Background. Mozambique has a long history of donor support in the fisheries sector,

with cooperation with Norway starting after independence in 1975. The fisheries sector had a

predominant role after independence until the end of the civil war, as a major contributor to

public revenues and source of subsistence for scattered coastal populations. The sector’s relative

socioeconomic importance decreased as the economy took off following the formal end of

hostilities; however, it remains important for coastal populations, while the industry’s

contribution to economic growth remains somewhat untapped. That being said, the small number

of DPs operating in the sector simplifies coordination between DPs and the GoM.

41. Objective. The objective of the Fisheries Donor Coordination Meetings is to share

information on DP projects and activities. DPs have also explored questions on how to improve

the results of programs during such meetings.

42. Structure. The Ministry of Fisheries,28

which manages departments and institutes on

policy, fisheries management, and the promotion and development of fisheries, was responsible

for coordinating alignment of DP projects with Government priorities. Activities within the

fisheries sector are made in alignment with the Fisheries Master Plan II 2010–2019. Donor

coordination in the fisheries sector was until recently done through two main groups: National

Fishery Coordination, a donor-government coordination body, and the Fishery Donor

Coordination Meetings, which are organized by DPs. Norway chairs the donor coordination

efforts within the sector, which has 16 participating DPs. Other key DPs include Iceland, JICA,

the European Commission (EC), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD),

Belgium, and AfDB. The ToR for the coordination group was developed, providing guidance for

three working group meetings per year with the Ministry of Fisheries’ Permanent Secretary;

annual meetings to review the Economic and Social Plan (Plano Económico e Social, PES); joint

missions; and ad hoc task forces. In practice, meetings have not been regular and are called

usually on an ad hoc basis during DP missions.

43. Financing coordination. In 2013, DPs had 16 projects with a total of US$105 million in

support of the sector.29

Norway is a lead DP in the fisheries sector, leading the Support to the

Fisheries Sector of Mozambique project (2013–2017), with joint funding from Iceland and the

GoM. Norway and Iceland had previously managed a common fund; however, there are no

overall SWAp coordinating efforts in the sector. Individual DP projects are tracked through the

donor coordination group with a spreadsheet that is circulated in the group. The Fisheries

Development Fund, a financial institution to provide credit to fisheries, had previously collected

information on external partner investments, but it has not been active in this role in recent years.

44. Additional coordination mechanisms. As part of decentralization, the responsibility for

implementing fisheries activities has devolved to district administrations and the District

Services of Economic Affairs (Serviços Distritais das Atividades Económicas, SDAE). The

28

The Ministry of Sea, Internal Waters, and Fisheries (Ministério do Mar, Aguas Interiores e Pescas, MIMAIP)

replaced the Ministry of Fisheries; however, these arrangements have yet to be confirmed. 29

24

Ministry of Fisheries had been active in trying to strengthen SDAE capacity on fisheries, and

recent years have seen increasing coordination taking place between partners and the

Government at the district level.

45. Conclusions. Public sector leadership in the fisheries sector, which is linked to

institutional capacity, is limited. DPs agree that this needs to be strengthened; however, it is

unclear what they can do without a more general commitment from the GoM.

46. Recommendations

(a) Hold more regular, structured meetings of the Fisheries Donor Coordination Group

to improve organization of the sector and better engage partners on policy issues,

addressing the limited engagement of DPs on policy issues.

(b) The Fisheries Donor Coordination Group should establish stronger connections to

other groups, including agriculture and conservation, given the important role of

fisheries in the strategies of other sectors (such as PNISA for agriculture).

VI: Health

47. Background. DP coordination in Mozambique’s health sector is mainly focused around

the Health SWAp. The health sector receives high levels of external assistance, as well as a large

variety of DP and NGO implementers of health programs. Despite this coordination challenge,

the Health SWAp is a well-defined, organized system to coordinate among DPs and between

DPs and the Government. The SWAp includes 26 DPs, 14 of which also originally joined in the

common funding mechanism, ProSAUDE. Annual partner contributions to the Health SWAp are

tracked in the External Funds Survey (Inquérito dos Fundos Externo, IFE), an annual data

collection effort by MISAU to capture DP financial commitments and disbursements in the

health sector; the IFE has been ongoing since 2007. Commitments, investments, and projects are

tracked annually and reported as part of an Annual Joint Evaluation.

48. Objective. The objective of the Health SWAp is to support coordination across

Government, DPs, and NGOs to implement the Health Sector Strategic Plan (Plano Estratégico

do Sector da Saúde, PESS) 2014–2019, which aims to gradually transition to universal health

coverage. The SWAp also aims to reduce donor fragmentation and off-budget spending,

although recent worries about the integrity of the Government’s PFM system and procurement

processes have led several DPs to pull out of the common fund mechanism.30

49. Structure. The key partner institution for health sector coordination is MISAU. The

Health Partners Coordination Framework provides the basic framework for formal DP

coordination in the health sector. Meetings are held at three levels: (a) working groups and ad

hoc task groups, which are chaired by MISAU Directors and Department Heads;31

(b) Joint

Coordination Committee meetings that meet every 1–2 months, chaired by MISAU’s Permanent

Secretary;32

and (c) a Sector Coordination Committee, which meets biannually, is chaired by the

Minister of Health, and co-chaired by a representative from the DPs’ working group. The sector

also has a Health Partners Group, specifically for intra-donor coordination, which is currently

chaired by USAID and co-chaired by the UNFPA. The Health Partners Group chair position

rotates every two years.

50. Financing coordination. Health sector funding is either channeled through PROSAUDE

or into vertical projects (on-budget and off-budget). Harmonizing procedures has been a

challenge within the sector; despite donor commitments, the common fund has declined from

US$100 million, at the start of the program, to US$35 million currently, with more funding now

channeled through vertical projects. In 2013, 33 percent of external health financing was off-

30

Of the original 14 members of PROSAUDE, the SWAp’s common funding mechanism, only 5 are currently

contributing to the common fund. 31

Working group meetings provide forums to discuss thematic and policy issues within the health sector. Current

working groups include (a) Human Resources for Health (co-chaired by DFID); (b) Medicines; (c) Administration

and Financing Framework (co-chaired by Canada); and (d) Planning, Infrastructure, and Monitoring and Evaluation

(co-chaired by the World Health Organization [WHO] with support from Canada). Co-chairing roles at the working

group level have no set time limit or schedule for rotation. 32

This group includes the Heads of Directorates and Departments, as well as representatives from the DP working

groups. Issues discussed include human resources, administration, planning, monitoring and evaluation, and

endemic diseases.

budget.33

Despite the challenges of the common funding mechanism, however, the SWAp has

provided a strong policy coordination mechanism for DPs. PROSAUDE partners are currently

working on a manual to provide guidance on sector investments for partners. IFE is the central

data collection mechanism for all health partners, both those contributing to PROSAUDE and

external projects, although some challenges to the data coverage and quality remain. The system

allows for the alignment of expenditures to specific health categories (defined in PESS),

provision of information on current and future investments, and management of data quality,

such as the potential for project duplicates. An effort was made among PROSAUDE partners to

encourage the use of ODAmoz to collect and share data on DP commitments and investments;

however, many DPs resisted this effort. Concerns were raised about the purpose of the database,

technical details about entering information, and potential overlap with existing reporting

requirements for including projects in the Government’s e-SISTAFE.

51. Additional coordination mechanisms

HIV/AIDS. As an important subsector for health, HIV/AIDS has a separate

coordination mechanism that links to the Health SWAp. The Pre-Partners Forum is a

partners group for bilateral and multilateral DPs, civil society, and the private sector.

The Forum has three levels of coordination, with similar engagement on policy and

technical discussions as the overall health sector. The National Council for

Sustainable Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Sustentável,

CNCS) leads coordination in this area, which is included in the overall framework of

the Health SWAp.

Nutrition. A separate working group on nutrition issues coordinates closely with

health sector partners, along with the agriculture and other sectors. This working

group is also mentioned under the Agriculture section of this report.

NAIMA+. Many international NGOs and local NGOs coordinate activities in the

health sector through the network of NGOs working on health and HIV. This

network is a coordination and lobbying body and does not implement programs.

52. Conclusions. While the Health SWAp is highly developed, harmonizing donor

procedures and activities remains a challenge. Additionally, the current system for tracking

health investments, IFE, functions effectively, but there are limitations to the data collected.

53. Recommendations

(a) Adjust or expand IFE categories to use more than just PESS fields, to better allow

for reporting of provincial and district activities. As is, IFE data cannot distinguish

funding channeled through NGOs to subnational levels or direct funding provided to

subnational spending units.

(b) Link IFE data to government accounting systems to facilitate its use by MISAU

during annual planning and budgeting processes.

(c) Strengthen monitoring and evaluation capacity in the sector, as approximately 70

percent of all spending is implemented directly by DPs.

VII: Infrastructure (Roads)

54. Background. Donor coordination on transportation issues is conducted through two main

coordination mechanisms: a donor coordination group and the coordination for the road sector

SWAp. While there is no overall transportation strategy for the country, coordination on roads is

more structured and institutionalized. The Integrated Road Sector Program (Programa Integrado

do Sector de Estradas, PRISE) was established in 2006 as a SWAp to develop the road network,

including capital investments and maintenance operations.34

PRISE’s first three-year rolling

investment program (2007–2009) had more than US$1 billion in commitments from the 19

DPs.35

PRISE functions as a critical coordination mechanism for DPs to discuss sector activities,

as well as a forum to discuss plans with Government representatives at the provincial level. A

review of the Road Sector Strategy (RSS) in 2014 showed the program meeting targets for

capital investments on the primary road network. In addition to PRISE coordination, DPs also

have a separate coordination group, the Road Sector Working Group (RSWG), which was

established as part of the GBS process.36

55. Objective. The objective of PRISE is to support the implementation of priorities in the

RSS.

56. Structure. PRISE’s main coordination mechanism is biannual meetings of DPs and

Government representatives to review plans, progress, and sector challenges. PRISE is

implemented by the National Roads Administration (Administração Nacional de Estradas,

ANE), a semiautonomous institution within the MOPH. ANE takes an active leadership role in

ensuring DPs are aligned with sector priorities. As part of Mozambique’s overall decentralization

strategy, ANE has established provincial offices that have development provincial road

strategies, which can also be the basis for DP support.37

Reporting on PRISE investments is

coordinated by an independent state-owned enterprise, Maputo Sud. In addition to PRISE

coordination, the RSWG also holds 1–2 additional annual meetings, with comments from DPs

consolidated by the Chair and presented during PRISE coordination meetings. The EU currently

chairs the donor group, which has also been previously chaired by the World Bank and AfDB.38

Nontraditional donors have also made significant investments in the sector, such as the US$1.2

billion invested in the sector by China; however, these investments are less coordinated with

PRISE or the donor coordination group.

57. Financing coordination. The Road Fund within the MOPH is responsible for PRISE

resource allocation and financial management. It tracks all commitments and investments

34

PRISE had commitments from DPs on a common sector policy, strategy, and investment plan; common financing

arrangements for overhead and maintenance, common financial management, and procurement procedures; and a

common reporting and monitoring system with joint supervision missions. 35

through e-SISTAFE. For DPs, the PRISE SWAp is the main financial coordination mechanism.

Since establishment, however, actual investments have been below commitments, and many

programs are implemented through tradition project arrangements: as of 2010, only 5 percent of

funding for PRISE is through the common fund.39

The PRISE financial mechanisms faced some

challenges in 2012, especially in procurement, that caused implementation delays. These

arrangements were restructured, and the scope narrowed, which allowed the PRISE process to

continue. Some DPs have also failed to meet their financing commitments to PRISE, forcing the

Government to turn to alternatives and private sector funding to fill gaps.

58. Additional coordination mechanisms. PRISE has strong coordination with the MOPH

and the MEF, both of which sit on the board of the Road Fund. Connections to other line

ministry sectors are more limited, however, even in sectors that have important links to

transportation development, such as rural development, agriculture, and conservation.

59. Conclusions. Challenges exist related to the coordination of investments with

nontraditional donors, as well as increasing PPPs and whether PRISE is capturing contingent

liabilities related to these investments.

60. Recommendations

(a) ANE should encourage nontraditional donors to coordinate with the SWAp.

(b) ANE and DPs should collaborate to channel more sector funding through the

common fund. The World Bank transportation team is working with the BOOST

team on conducting a Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping of PRISE

financial data, allowing real-time reporting of PRISE investments, which may

strengthen DP awareness and coordination across the sector.

VIII: Public Financial Management

61. Background. Following the approval of the PFM Reform Law (SISTAFE) in 2002,

much of the technical assistance to the sector has been coordinated by DPs to support effective

implementation of the law, including the IFMIS, e-SISTAFE. In 2012, the Government adopted

the PFM Vision 2025, which provides strategic orientation for PFM reform processes. PFM

reforms are also closely linked to the PAP process and the push for increased use of GBS, as

many DPs require strong PFM systems as a prerequisite for engaging in GBS.

62. Objective. The objective of the PFM Coordination Group is to coordinate support for

PFM systems and harmonize donors’ engagement with the GoM.

63. Structure. The PFM Coordination Group is chaired by the GoM’s Treasury and one DP,

currently the SWE. The IMF also currently serves as co-chair. The group meets regularly to

share information, prevent duplication in projects, and coordinate long-term technical assistance.

Eighteen DPs currently participate in the forum. The PFM Coordination Group also has

subgroups on budget analysis, e-SISTAFE, procurement, audits, and decentralization and service

delivery.

64. Financing coordination. Information on ongoing and pipeline projects is collected in an

Excel spreadsheet that is circulated among DPs. The most recent mapping, conducted in 2015,

estimates over US$100 million in funding for 2014–2017.40

65. Additional coordination mechanisms. PFM reforms are linked to line ministries and

service delivery issues. Other sectors, such as health, also have subgroups on sector-specific

PFM issues. Many DPs engaging with PFM issues are also members of relevant sector working

groups to reinforce the links between upstream PFM reforms and downstream service delivery

issues.

66. Conclusions. The PFM Coordination Group appears to fulfil its core function of

coordinating DP activities; however, the financial tracking of projects could be improved.

67. Recommendations

(a) The PFM Coordination Group should establish expectations of more timely and

disaggregated financial data on ongoing and pipeline projects.

IX: Social Protection

68. Background. Coordination in the social protection sector is conducted through the Social

Action Working Group (SAWG), convened as part of the GBS process. Previously, DPs had

engaged in discussions about a potential common fund for the sector. As they came to an

agreement on the appropriate sector approach, however, no common fund was ever established.

The main government strategy on social protection is the National Strategy for Basic Social

Security (ENSSB), which was developed in 2009. The key government institutions responsible

for social protection are the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Welfare (MGCAS),

specifically the National Institute for Social Action (INAS). DPs also have an informal donor

coordination group, chaired by DFID.

69. Objective. The objective of the SAWG is to provide an information-sharing platform for

DP activities. Policy dialogue has also been a strong aspect of previous meetings; however, key

differences emerged between DPs on their policy approaches.

70. Structure. The SAWG meets every 1–2 months, on an ad hoc basis. Main meetings are

held jointly between the Government and DPs, with additional meetings held for coordination

among DPs. Meetings are currently chaired by MGCAS and co-chaired by UNICEF, with plans

for DFID to take on the co-chair role in 2018; the group has a system for rotating the chair

position between organizations every two years. Key DPs include the WFP, DFID, Netherlands,

Sweden, USAID, ILO, EU, Irish Aid, and civil society representatives.

71. Financing coordination. Information on sector projects are coordinated on an annual

basis by the working group chairs. Information is collected on committed, disbursed, and

undisbursed funding. While it is not yet collected, some DPs also see the need to collect

information on the share of operational costs associated with the different DP program models.

Financing coordination also takes place between partners who are part of the UN Joint Program.

MGCAS also plays a role in coordination projects as part of the annual planning process.

72. Additional coordination mechanisms

UN Joint Program Coordination. Several DPs that participate in the UN Joint

Program also have a separate coordination mechanism specific to that program.

73. Conclusions. Without strong leadership from the Government, many DPs are pursing

separate approaches to social protection programs, for example social assistance subsidies,

employment generation, targeting systems, or transfer systems.

74. Recommendations

(a) The GoM should exert stronger leadership to ensure that differences among DPs no

longer stymie the potential for the SAWG to play an effective role in sector policy

dialogue. Most DPs are increasingly aligning the design of new interventions to the

national priorities set under the ENSSB, as a result of the improved sector

coordination led by MGCAS. However, alignment to Government priorities can

MZ: Rapid Donor Data Collection and Donor Coordination Mechanisms Report

36

have limited benefits if a harmonization in approaches from DPs does not happen.

This has created significant fragmentation and limited sustainability of interventions.

(b) The SAWG should encourage INAS and DPs to collaborate in the collection and

management of key missing data needed to establish social protection systems, such

as consumption measures and other poverty measures, while also considering the

climate vulnerability dimension.

X: Water and Sanitation

75. Background. Donor coordination in the sector is conducted through multiple

coordination forums. GAS was established as part of the GBS and PAP process, which includes

bilateral donors, multilateral organizations, and large NGOs.41

The sector is divided into two key

subsectors supported by DPs: water supply and sanitation and integrated water resources

management. In 2010, DPs formed a SWAp to address rural water supply and sanitation, the

National Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program (Programa Nacional de Abastecimento de

Água e Saneamento, PRONASAR). PRONASAR includes a common fund to pool donor

funding, which initially had commitments from the Netherlands, DFID, UNICEF, Canada, and

SDC.42

PRONASAR also includes Joint Annual Reviews to assess sector performance. In

addition, a sector donor coordination group, chaired by DFID, meets twice a year to discuss

sector policies and budget allocations. Information on the overall functioning of the water and

sanitation system is collected in the Information System for Water and Sanitation (SINAS);

however, this tool is not updated regularly by provincial and district authorities.

76. Objective. The objective of GAS is to align DP support with the Government’s PQG and

the 1995 National Water Policy and the National Water Development Program (NWDP), as well

as to discuss and evaluate sector progress and review key sector issues.

77. Structure. GAS is chaired by the National Directorate of Water Supply and Sanitation

(DNAAS) in the Ministry of Public Works (Ministério das obras Públicas, MOPHRH) and is

currently co-chaired by DFID. The forum meets at least once a month and is a forum for

Government-sector DPs’ discussions around development progress in the sector. GAS has two

subgroups: water supply and sanitation is coordinated by UNICEF and the subgroup for

integrated water management is coordinated by the Netherlands and the South Korea

International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) since 2016.

78. Financing coordination. DP commitments and disbursements are not tracked within

GAS or any other donor coordination mechanism nor are DPs using ODAmoz. The PRONASAR

common fund does provide a coordination mechanism for participating DPs; however, overall

contributions to the common fund have been decreasing. In 2015, only US$3.5 million was

contributed by DPs, a 53 percent decrease from the 2014 levels.43

79. Additional coordination mechanisms. As part of NWDPII, a donor coordination group

was established to conduct a joint analysis of water objectives in Mozambique’s Action Plan for

the Production of Absolute Poverty (Plano de Acção para a Redução da Pobreza Absoluta,

PARPA). A few coordination meetings on this project have been held with the participation of

the World Bank, AfDB, the Netherlands, DFID, and France. An additional group on Hydraulic

41

Key partners include the SDC, Canada, JICA, the Water and Sanitation Program of the World Bank, and

UNICEF. International NGOs include CARE, Helvetas, and WaterAid; the private sector company Cowater is also

involved. 42

AfDB and other partners also provided additional funding outside of the common funding mechanism. See

38

Resources (GRH) was established in 2016, which includes bilateral donors (JICA, World Bank,

KOICA, DFID, and GIZ).

80. Conclusions. Current coordination mechanisms do not appear to be sufficient to support

harmonization of DP activities in the water sector.

81. Recommendations

(a) DPs and the DNAAS should coordinate on the potential creation of a SWAp, as

current coordination mechanisms do not appear to be sufficient to support the

harmonization of DP activities.

(b) In the absence of other viable financial coordination mechanisms, DPs should be

encouraged to engage and support the PRONASAR common fund mechanism,

given its success in improving coordination.

(c) The DNA should provide clearer guidance and leadership to ensure that DPs do not

pursue their own agendas instead of aligning with Government priorities.

(d) GAS should encourage better data reporting by DPs, as well as by provincial and

district offices, on water supply, coverage, and completed works, as the sector’s

monitoring and evaluation systems are weak.

(e) Relatedly, GAS should seek out additional support to strengthen the Government’s

information collection and use, to improve the effectiveness of donor engagements.

Annex III: Comparison of Aid Data Collection Tools

Estimates of total DP commitments vary by the aid data collection tool. Figure 1 presents a

comparison of the four key data collection tools for donor commitments used in Mozambique:

sector spreadsheets, e-SISTAFE,44

PAP donor commitments to sector common funds, and

ODAmoz.45

This comparison is limited to three sectors (agriculture, health, and PFM), as most

sector spreadsheets do not include annual estimates of donor commitments.
