active

The development objective of the Investing in Inclusive Human Capital Development in Northern Mozambique Project for Mozambique is to improve inclusive access to effective basic social services for the most vulnerable and at-risk of conflict population in Northern Mozambique. The project comprises of five components. The first component, strengthening decentralized human capital institutions and community-based structures will support a multisectoral collaboration between health, education, and social protection sectors to maximize local human development formation and a community-centered approach to address the human capital needs of the families. It consists of following sub-components: (i) supporting human capital policies and institutions at provincial level; and (ii) enabling communities to better identify, express, and address their human capital needs. The second component, enhancing system capacity for equitable availability and access to basic social services encompasses a set of key early interventions to serve internally displaced person(s) (IDPs) and host communities that will have a sustained impact at the most critical phases of the lifecycle. It consists of following sub-components: (i) addressing household barriers to investments in human capital; (ii) giving children a head-start in their early years; (iii) supporting children, girls, and out of school youth and vulnerable households to enhance social and economic inclusion; and (iv) promote coordinated gender-based violence (GBV) support services. The third component, supporting the post-conflict restoration of basic social services will also include support to sectors’ staff through housing and installation kits. The fourth component, project implementation, monitoring and evaluation will invest in building the capacity of national and provincial governments to evaluate the impact and contribution of the project activities for human capital building. The fifth component, contingency emergency response (CERC) will facilitate access to rapid financing through the reallocation of uncommitted project funds in the event of an eligible crisis or emergency.
