EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
The RPF outlines a number of principles to be adhered to in the implementation of the Integrated Growth Poles Project (Project), through which the World Bank (WB) will support the Government of Mozambique (GOM) strategy for inclusive and broad-based growth.
The focus of the support will be on the two main pillars of the Government’s Plano de Acção de Redução da Pobreza (PARP, 2011-14) (i) increasing agricultural production/productivity; and (ii) employment through targeted interventions to strengthen the dynamism of the private sector to drive economic growth and accelerate job creation.
The project will be implemented in the (i) Zambeze Valley; (ii) Nacala Corridor, which due to a combination of factors are witnessing unprecedented growth fueled largely by mining (mainly coal) operations in Moatize (Tete province). Initial focus will be on two carefully selected growth poles, namely Angonia (comprising the districts of Angonia, Tsangano and Macanga districts in Tete province) and Nacala (Nacala Porto and Nacala-a-Velha city and town, respectively).

In permanent and close consultation with the GOM the World Bank will ensure that the strategic interest of inclusion, diversification, creation of employment and income generating opportunities are created around the mega projects in the project area. Priority infrastructure will be identified, planned and built and training, capacity building and demonstration activities will be carried out. This will be complemented by the strengthening of the enabling environment as well as the adoption of adequate measures for intervention monitoring and evaluation.
Project Components
The project will have four main components with the following preliminary allocation of funds:
Component 1: Support for the Tete agribusiness growth pole in the Zambezi Valley (US$ 39.0 million): The objective of this component is to provide integrated support for the upgrading of targeted local infrastructure and privately-executed public investments primarily oriented towards increasing smallholder production, linking smallholder farms and MSMEs to emerging supply chains, and increasing agro-processing activities in the Zambezi Valley. The local infrastructure investments will focus on the districts of Angonia, Tsangano, and Macanga in Tete Province to upgrade two key rural roads linking agricultural areas to primary roads that will provide producers all weather access to markets. This component is subdivided into two subcomponents, namely: Sub-component 1A: Upgrading of local infrastructure (US$ 21.5 million) that will consist of the (A) Rehabilitation of Market Access Roads, and (B) Minor civil and ancillary works. Sub-component 1B: Innovation and Demonstration Catalytic Fund (IDCF) investments in the Zambezi Valley (IDA allocation: US$17.5 million, Total: US$35.0 million) to improve the ability of smallholder farms/MSMEs in the Zambezi Valley to access markets through market-oriented private and complementary public investments.
Component 2: Support for the Nacala Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in the Nacala Corridor (US$ 43.0 million): The objective of this component is to provide support for the development of the Nacala Corridor. Activities are focused on (a) upgrading last-mile infrastructure for the development of the Nacala SEZ (water supply system and an access road), and (b) supporting privately-executed public investments to increase smallholder production, link smallholder farms to emerging supply chains, and increase agro-processing activities. This components is also subdivided into two subcomponents: Sub-component 2A: Upgrading of Nacala SEZ physical infrastructure (US$ 30.5 million) and Sub-component 2B: Innovation and Demonstration Catalytic Fund (IDCF) investments in the Nacala Corridor (IDA allocation US$12.5 million, Total: US$25.0 million), with similar objectives and modality as those expressed for Sub-component 1B.
Component 3: Institutional Development and Capacity Building (US$10.0 million): The objective of this component is to provide multi-year support to key public agencies to strengthen their capacity to plan, coordinate and implement public and multilateral investment programs. At the National level the focus will be on building capacity of the newly established Department of Public Investments within MPD. At the Provincial level the capacity building activities will focus on ZVDA and GAZEDA with some support for the Provincial and Municipal authorities. The component will finance (i) Training, equipment and consultancies for planning, coordination and implementation of public investment programs, (ii) training, equipment and consultancies for the ZVDA and related public sector agencies in the Zambezi Valley, and (iii) training, equipment and consultancies for GAZEDA and related public sector agencies in the Nacala Corridor.
Component 4: Project Implementation (US$8.0 million): Investments under this component will support the operations of the PCU in MPD which includes two regional Project Managers co-located in ZVDA and GAZEDA to coordinate and support Project implementation. The component will support project implementation costs including: (i) PCU staff (ii) PCU operating costs, (iii) consultants for ANE to supplement contract supervision capacity, (iv) IDCF Fund Manager and initial project preparation costs, (v) training and consulting studies (vi) data collection, compilation and analysis and establishing a Project monitoring and evaluation system, (vii) safeguards management including training, preparation of RAPs, ESIAs and ESMPs and monitoring of implementation of safeguards instruments (viii) impact evaluation.
Physical interventions will be in the form of:
§ Roads, utilities, district/municipal facilities and logistics facilities including urban water supply (Nacala Porto);
§ Feeder roads
§ Value-adding facilities for commercial agribusiness.
Project Formulation and Implementation Arrangements
A consultative and participatory process will be adopted in the identification and selection of specific and final sub-projects to be considered for funding. Among others the provinces and districts will review their strategic development plans and ensure that relevant plans and projects become part of the Project.
The ESMF basic principles and requirements will be applied throughout the entire project life cycle.
The project preparation is under the overall responsibility of MPD. A Steering Committee chaired by MPD and bringing together the main sectors involved in the Project (ZVDA, GAZEDA, MPD, MICOA, MTC, MOPH and MINAGRI) will assist in project management and ensure that relevant stakeholders participate in its management.
Development Context
The Project happens at a time when the Mozambican economy is recording accelerated growth rates, which are supported by high levels of assistance from Development Partners. The growth rates result from the efforts in the field of macroeconomic policy management and strengthening the enabling environment for promotion of domestic and foreign private investment. Economic growth has been driven by (i) foreign direct investment in mega projects and operating large-scale high-value agricultural products such as cotton, sugar and tobacco, (ii) the favorable agricultural growth, and (iii) infrastructure rehabilitation projects, including roads.
However, despite the remarkable growth, the country continues to be among the world's poorest. The country is in the 184th position among 187 countries in terms of human development index. A number of institutional and other constraints continue to hamper the delivery of basic social services.
The country’s economy is characterized by a very small number of mega projects on the one hand, and the family and informal sector, on the other, which encourages imbalances in development and affects diversification of production and access to the benefits of the development by a significant proportion of the population. Investments in infrastructure such as roads, water supply and sanitation, energy, telecommunications, etc. should continue to play a role in this process of stabilization and gradual elimination of imbalances. Strengthening micro, small and medium size enterprises (MSMEs) is seen as key to changing the prevalent situation.
The two regions that define the project area are rich and diverse in terms of the receiving physical, biological and socioeconomic environment. Interventions need to be adequately planned, implemented, monitored and evaluated to ensure that such environment is not adversely affected.
