2007-2008

Dear Readers,

2008 has been a year full of highlights for ADPP Mozambique. our activities have expanded to new regions and sectors of work, and our commitment to sustainable development in Mozambique has reached new levels. With the official opening of our Institute of Higher Education in November, our educational projects are flourishing. ADPP’s commitment to combating the spread of HIV/AIDS has seen an expansion through TCE (Total Control of the Epidemic) in Manica province and the implementation of community testing in Maputo through the Hope program.

our predominant program - Teacher Training - expanded its reach with the first complete year of training in the new Teacher Training College (EPF) in Tete, which started on the 20th of August 2007. The students participated in the construction of the college as a pioneer team and gained extraordinary experiences during this time. To accompany this expansion, the construction of a new EPF in Nampula Province, district of Nametil, has made great progress. The buildings will be ready for use in January 2009, when the first team will start.

This Teacher Training College will be the 11th of the 12 Teacher Training Colleges to be established in an agreement between ADPP- Mozambique and the Ministry of Education and Culture. Furthermore, the first teams of the new EPFs in Gaza and Inhambane graduated in colorful ceremonies in December of this year. By the end of 2008, the 10 Teacher Training Colleges of ADPP had graduated a total of 821 teachers. This is a significant contribution to the Millennium Development Goal of securing education for all by 2015.

on the 21st November 2008 the buildings of the ISET / one World University were officially inaugurated by the President of the Republic of Mozambique. 1000 people took part in the celebrations on the day. Participants included hundreds of people from nearby villages, representatives from the Ministry of Education and Culture and other Ministries, delegates from national and international organizations, Ambassadors, Government officials and staff from the projects of ADPP Mozambique.

In october 2008, a second faculty was officially launched at the ISET/oWU offering the first course in community development at the bachelors degree level. This new degree, “Fighting Side by Side with the Poor,” was developed by ADPP’s Federation – Humana People to People. It was inspired by His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Mozambique, Armando Emílio Guebuza, with the aim of contributing towards the fight against poverty.

Within the sector of HIV/AIDS prevention and care, new communities have been reached with vital education and services through our programs of TCE (Total Control of the Epidemic) and Hope in 2008. This year, TCE has expanded to 7 new areas in the province of Manica, which means that the program is now operational in Cabo Delgado (1 area), Nampula (1 area), Zambézia (1 area), Sofala (1 area), Manica (8 areas) and Maputo (1 area) benefiting a total of 1.3 million people.

In 2008, ADPP Mozambique hosted the biggest ever TCE Field officer gathering held at ISET/oWU facilities in Maputo Province. This gathering brought together 1,742 TCE Field officers from South Africa, Angola, China, India, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Approximately 2,000 people, including guests and backup staff, were present at the event, which initiated new steps in the development of the TCE movement. During the gathering, TCE Field officers shared experiences, information and best practices across countries and continents. They also sought solutions on how to achieve more impact while working together with governments and other national and international partners.

In areas where TCE has concluded its program in Sofala Province, ADPP is establishing 50 Soy Restaurants under the National Farmers Club program. These restaurants provide soya as a protein

source of human nutrition for rural communities, especially for those people suffering from opportunistic diseases. These restaurants presently benefit a total of 5,000 people.

In the scope of the Hope program, an exciting pilot program for community testing was established last year in the Province of Maputo. This program enables trained counselors from Hope to bring testing services to remote areas, therefore up-scaling service delivery in this vital sector of HIV/AIDS prevention and care. This program was also extended to the TCE areas in Machava.

Within the sector of rural development, 2008 saw the opening of two new Child Aid projects in Inhambane and Gaza. Child Aid is a community-based project that aims to improve the living conditions of children, their families and their communities. To date these new projects have reached a total of 7,200 families with programs that influence basic education and health.

The Farmers Club program has increased its activities involving 10,500 farmers. As a result of the program, farmers have experienced an improvement in the quantity and quality of their yields.

In a new step in the sector of income generation, ADPP expanded its second-hand clothes and shoe sales operations to include 8 new retail shops throughout the country. The primary idea of this sector is to generate surplus funds from selling donated clothes to support the establishment and operational costs of ADPP’s development projects in Mozambique. These shops exemplify a new focus in the marketing strategy of the ADPP second-hand clothes and shoe sales operation, enabling more people to access item-per-item clothes at a reasonable price.

We have courageous plans for 2009 and look forward to a bright and dynamic future together with our partners and the people of Mozambique to whom ADPP dedicates its work.

In conclusion, I would like to thank the Government of Mozambique and the many partners who have contributed to our work. Without the continuous support from these partners in foreign governments, NGos, private companies and foundations, our goal of assisting the population and the community to secure their basic needs through the implementation of education and development activities would not be viable. We express our thanks for the support given to our work, and we look forward to continuing the collaboration to improve the lives of people in Mozambique. We would also like to address our warm thanks to all workers and students of ADPP.

ADPP Mozambique started establishing Teacher Training Colleges, known as “Schools for the Teachers of the Future” (EPFs), in 1993 as a way to contribute to the teacher training program carried out by the Government of Mozambique. An agreement with the Ministry of Education and Culture was signed for the implementation of 12 EPFs. To date, 10 EPFs have been established - one in each province - and one is under construction.

The objective of the EPF is to train teachers for primary schools in the rural areas. The training is designed to create a new generation of teachers who will take modern education to the rural areas and in this way contribute to its development.

The teacher training course lasts for 2.5 years and is divided into 8 periods. Each period has its special focus, and all periods establish a strong basis for qualifying the future teachers. It should be especially noted that the training has a one-year practice and involvement in community work. This creates change in the new generation of teachers for the rural areas by not only developing the schools but also the community. The teacher training is based on the application of participative methods through a system called DMM (Modern Determination of Methods). This method puts the student in the center within his/her own training and is based upon a computer system in which the whole curriculum is digitalized. The program, the curriculum and the DMM work in harmony to qualify and train teachers to improve conditions in rural areas. This involves not only teaching in schools and building the character of future generations, but also training and organizing future teachers to contribute to the fight against poverty within rural communities.

Education of Trainers of Primary School Teachers

The Higher Institute for Education and Technology/one World University is an Institution devoted to higher level instructor training for education, economics and management, rural and environmental development and information technologies. The ISET/oWU was established by ADPP Mozambique and by the Humana People to People Federation in 1998. In 2005 it was approved by the Council of Ministers of Mozambique as a private university. It was accredited to perform academic courses and bachelor and master level degrees with national qualifications and certifications. It was also granted its official name: Higher Institute for Education and Technology/one World University with the abbreviation ISET/oWU. The ISET/oWU was established in response to the need for a higher quality of education in primary schools. The ISET/oWU has a faculty that trains instructors for the EPFs in Mozambique and Angola and also for the government’s teacher training colleges. Presently, Mozambique faces high rates of school drop-out and failure due to a general lack of quality education. Alongside this, the Government expects to reach the target of Education for All by the year 2015. These combined factors encouraged ADPP to establish its first higher education course to contribute to the Government efforts related to primary education.

The objective of ISET/oWU is to train higher level professionals who are scientifically and technically competent and committed to fight absolute poverty with creative and unselfish participation in the country’s economic and social development.

on the 15th of october 2008 a second course was launched which offers the first bachelors degree worldwide in community development. The new training, called “Fighting with the Poor,” was created by Humana People to People, inspired by His Excellency, the President of the Republic, Armando Emílio Guebuza, towards contributing to the fight against poverty.

ADPP Mozambique established its first vocational school in Maputo in 1985. The objective of the training was to prepare young people for self-employment in order to reinforce economic growth and poverty reduction. Since then, ADPP Mozambique has established another 3 vocational schools in the central and northern parts of the country. Presently, these schools graduate approximately 450 students each year.

Technical-professional training teaches young people professional skills which enable them to get jobs or to start their own income generation activities. This in turn prepares them to become self sufficient and to sustain themselves as well as their families. Courses offered in these schools are: Building Construction, Agriculture and Livestock, Hotel and Tourism, Administration and Commerce and Community Instructors. These courses each last 2 years with an annual enrollment of 80 to 300 students per course.

Education of Vulnerable Children

With the objective of creating better conditions for poor children, ADPP established 6 schools that provide vulnerable children access to education. These schools offer a safe living and learning environment for children who struggle to attend school or to those who were unable to complete their education in previous years. With emphasis on life skills, culture and sport, this education involves the child in a complete and pleasant learning experience. The objectives of this program are:

• To increase the academic level of the children enabling them to integrate into society andcontribute their know-how to the country’s development.

Combat of HIV/AIDSMozambique is suffering from a growing rate of HIV infections. Presently, the average rate of

infection in Mozambique is 16%. With the expansion of road networks and the increasing movement of people, the infection is reaching new heights. HIV carries with it other

destabilizing factors in society – an increase in the number of orphans, increased pressure on medical resources, high rates of school and employment drop-out and increase of pressure on families to care for infected people. Immediate action is required to invert this growing tendency of infection.

ADPP has two programs that focus on the combat and prevention of HIV/AIDS: Total Control of the Epidemic (TCE) and HoPE.

TCE - Total Control of the Epidemic

TCE – Total Control of the Epidemic - is a program that aims at liberating people from HIV/AIDS. This program was developed by Humana People to People and applied in the majority of Southern African countries with the objective of gaining – area by area – total control of the epidemic.

The main program objective is to mobilize all individuals and communities to get involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS, to help and encourage people to overcome fear, rejection and stigma and to strengthen them to live in a healthy manner according to their condition. TCE emphasizes activities that reinforce the connection between existing HIV/AIDS programs, individuals, families and communities.

The TCE program has two elements – the Main Activities and the Complementary Activities. The main activities comprise door-to-door campaigns that focus on education, information and counseling. The complementary activities are centered around the establishment of community structures that assist in education campaigns such as orphans clubs, visits to classes in schools, work place campaigns, positive living clubs and women’s education clubs for the prevention of vertical transmission (transmission from mother to child).

The system is built on a group of 50 local people, called Field officers, employed for a period of three years to liberate an area of 100,000 people. The Field officers promote and organize counseling and testing in the community through door-to-door campaigns where every single house within the area is targeted with information on HIV/AIDS prevention and on change of behavior in relation to HIV/AIDS.

The first TCE Area was started in the year 2000 in Boane, Province of Maputo, and completed in January 2003. The next started in Maputo City in 2001 and completed in 2004. The TCE of Sofala started in 2005, and 50 Soy Restaurants are underway in that area.

In 2007, the 4 TCE areas were completed in Sofala. In February 2008, an area was completed in Nampula. TCE was expanded with a new area in each of the Provinces of Maputo, Sofala, Zambézia, Nampula and Cabo Delgado and with 8 areas in Manica.

Main results achieved in 2007/2008:

• From2007/2008,TCEhasbeenoperatingwith13areas,namely,1 inMaputoProvince,1 inSofala, 8 in Manica, 1 in Zambézia, 1 in Nampula and 1 in Cabo Delgado. A total of 650 Field officers are employed, and the project is benefiting a total of 1,300,000 people in 13 areas, or 100,000 people for each area.

• Field Officers: A total of 650 Field officers were recruited and selected locally and trained on HIV/AIDS,

counseling and peer education issues. Field officers are responsible for working with 2,000 people each and reaching the total epidemic (HIV/AIDS) control through door-to-door talks and campaigns during a period of 3 years.

• Passionates A total of 17,337 Passionates (volunteers) have been sensitized to contribute to the TEC activities.

They work caring for persons living with AIDS as well as sensitizing other people to adhere to the program and relieve HIV/AIDS effects.

• People Tested one TCE activity of great importance as a way of assuring a profound change of behavior is the

promotion of counseling and testing. A total of 55,569 people have been counseled and tested, corresponding to an average of 4.27% of the population with whom we have been working.

• Orphans and Vulnerable Children TCE has registered a total of 5,280 orphans and vulnerable children who are benefiting from

various income generating projects and life skills activities such as carpentry, needlework, dress making and, in the case of Maputo Province, improved housing.

• People Living with HIV TCE has a total of 627 people living with HIV who are organized in positive living clubs. They

are benefiting from diverse types of income generation projects such as production and sale of construction materials, sewing, kitchen-gardens, etc.

HOPE

The HoPE project is based on solidary humanism. It offers concrete support to all people infected and affected by the HIV virus. ADPP Mozambique intends to strengthen the capacity of individuals, groups and organizations based in the community to provide services to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and to diminish its consequences.

The objectives of the HoPE project are to mobilize and assist people living with HIV/AIDS so that they may have a healthier and longer life and to enable them to become more active in the resolution of their own problems. This is achieved by establishing Hope Centers with health, counseling and testing services.

ADPP Mozambique is implementing two HoPE projects: one based in Maputo and the other in Beira. Both centers perform the same role within the community. The HoPE Maputo project has a testing program in the community that provides services to the most rural areas, making tests more accessible. HoPE Beira has a Home Care program that reaches more than 2,000 families with one or more members infected by HIV. Both centers work closely with the Ministry of Health and the National AIDS Council.

on a daily basis, the Hope program offers a variety of essential services within the community. These activities include:

• Gather,produceanddistributeinformationonHIV/AIDS,treatmentimprovementsandprogressin the fight to stop propagation.

• Organizeandprovideaccesstotesting.• Organizeanddevelopcoursesonpositiveliving.• Organizeandprovidehealthcareandmonitoring.• Executeresearchprograms.• DevelopandproducematerialsforHopeclubs.• Leadconcretecampaigns.• Organizeanddeveloporphanchildrensupportprograms.• Organizeanddevelophomecareandothertypesofcare.

AgricultureAgriculture is a strategic sector to eradicate absolute poverty in Mozambique.

According to data from the 2003 Agricultural Inquiry, about 88% of the family aggregates practice some kind of livestock farming activity.

ADPP Mozambique contributes to this sector by creating a progressive movement of farmers organized in Clubs. These clubs work to guarantee food security, increase and diversify farming production and improve the quality of the life of the rural population, based on the vast rural human capital existing in Mozambique. These objectives are entirely in accordance with the National Poverty Reduction Strategy (PARPA).

Cashew and Rural Development Center, Itoculo

The Cashew and Rural Development Center in Itoculo started in 1996 with the mission of training small farming producers and cashew producers to improve their farming production capacity and the processing of their products, as well as to improve their economic situation.

Its mission is also to assist rural area populations to improve their access to drinking water and their hygiene and to build the capacity of families to prevent diseases, child mortality and malnutrition and to promote education, health and safe food.

Through cashew itself – and other productions, such as the processing - to improve financial income and to be able to participate in rural development.

Activities and results of 2008:

Community DevelopmentMozambique is still one of the poorest countries in the world, with 68% of the population

living below the poverty line. Studies on children under five years old reveal that 41% suffer from malnutrition as a consequence of poverty, lack of food or unbalanced diet. To make

the challenge even greater, Mozambique is affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. It is estimated that 16.9% of the Mozambicans between 15 and 59 years are infected leaving the country with hundreds of thousands of orphans to be cared for.

In Mozambique, 75% of the rural population does not have adequate sanitation. Sanitary impacts resulting from lack of drinking water supply and sanitation infrastructures are visible in Mozambique. Diarrhoea prevalence is 20% for children below five years, and 13% of deaths of children under five years result from diarrheal diseases.

Creating appropriate water and sanitation access is consequently a precondition for rural development. The Government has stressed the need for integrated rural development programs that deal directly with children within the community context. ADPP

The Child Aid program appeared in response to the 1990 UNICEF appeal for activities aiming at reversing the declining situation of children’s living conditions worldwide. The idea is to assist communities in creating a better environment for children’s development and growth.

The objective of the Child Aid Program is not only to work with the children, but also with their families and communities to guarantee that the children survive, improve their living conditions and that opportunities be created for them to develop and use their full potential. Activities are focused around 10 lines that cover all needs of a child within the community, such as access to drinking water, appropriate hygiene and sanitation conditions, access to pre-primary education and income generation for the family. Each intervention overlaps the other, creating an integrated development with total community involvement.

Child Aid achieves these objectives through a systematic organization of people within the community working together in committees to take on and develop activities.

The organization of a project reaches 3,000 families as members of the project in one geographic area, covering all life aspects and thereby strengthening the community.

ADPP Mozambique has 4 Child Aid projects, one in each of the Provinces of Gaza, Inhambane, Sofala and Nampula.

The ten lines of the Child Aid Project are:

1. Strengthening the economy of families:The idea is to create skills and opportunities for families to increase their basic income in order to better provide for their children.

2. Health, including HIV and AIDS:The idea is to educate and strengthen community members to deal with challenges faced throughout their lives, with emphasis on HIV/AIDS.

3. Preschools of the Future:The idea is to guarantee a quality pre-primary education to children in the community and thereby prepare them to successfully enter primary school.

4. Children and Young People active in political and social life:The idea is to involve children and young people in activities that promote their personal and social development and encourage them to become active in the development of their communities.

5. Parentless Children:The idea is to create support structures for children and young people who have lost their father, mother, or both parents, guaranteeing that they have good health, education and social life conditions.

6. Education for All:The idea is to create activities that guarantee educational opportunities for all in the community, both children and adults.

7. District development:The idea is to work with other units to assess and coordinate activities so as to guarantee efficient assistance to children and their families.

ADPP Second-hand is a fund-raising project that contributes considerably to fund development projects of ADPP Mozambique.

ADPP Second-hand sells second-hand clothes and shoes mainly to resellers who acquire bales and sell the items in the markets.

At present, ADPP Second-hand sells wholesale clothes in all provinces north of the Save River.

ADPP Second-Hand

It has 7 projects with 31 selling posts. In Beira and Nampula it has 2 clothes and shoes processing centers, where clothes received are sorted and repacked in 45 kg bales, in more than 45 categories.

ADPP Second-hand also has 8 retail shops that sell good quality clothes and shoes item by item.

In addition to raising funds for Mozambique’s development, ADPP Second-hand’s objective is also to create jobs in the country.

ADPP Second-hand employs 459 workers in the clothes and shoes sorting and the selling process, but not only that! More than 20,000 people are occupied in reselling clothes acquired at the ADPP Second-hand. They are the clients and their workers; they are the tailors and hawkers who work with clothes purchased from ADPP clients.

ADPP Second-hand is also an answer for the majority of the population who cannot afford to purchase new clothes. For them the unique alternative to dress with dignity is to get dressed with good quality second-hand clothes. ADPP Second-hand’s objective is to supply good second-hand clothes to the population in all corners north of the Save River. 80% of the clothes and shoes sold by ADPP Second-hand have as their final destination the rural areas. More than 4,500,000 people benefit from clothes and shoes supplied by ADPP Second-hand.

The history of ADPP Second-hand:

ADPP Mozambique started in the area of clothes in 1984 with free distribution of clothes as emergency assistance to people affected by war.

In 1988 ADPP started selling second-hand clothes with the establishment of the first processing center in Maputo. The first selling posts out of Maputo opened in Nacala in 1990 and in Beira in 1991. In the years 1993-2008 ADPP Second-hand expanded its sales network.

Development Instructors

The idea of the Development Instructors Program is to make it possible for people to participate in the creation of development through one of the Humana People to People projects.

The Development Instructors participate in the international solidarity movement by participating in various project activities. Solidary humanism and the contributions of people, using their talents and skills, influence the development of the projects and the people.

The Development Instructors are trained with the hope that they will contribute with all their skills and dedication to make work progress side by side with other people of the project.

The Development Instructors basically have the responsibility to develop new activities as well as to guarantee the daily functioning of parts of the currently programmed activities.

They receive economic support for their training and traveling, and they pay the rest with savings and through fund-raising. Expenses for their sustenance in the projects are covered by ADPP Mozambique. ADPP Mozambique receives approximately 130 Development Instructors each year.


• During 2007 and 2008, ADPP Mozambique received 268 Development Instructors who have rendered service in 28 different projects.

Scholarships

ADPP Mozambique’s scholarship program provides assistance to 50 students from Mozambique every year. These students receive training at the Frontline Institute in Zimbabwe where they participate in a program that qualifies them for management positions within the organization and where they learn about community outreach work. This human resource training in management has already had great significance in the development and expansion of ADPP Mozambique projects.

The Frontline Institute in Zimbabwe (FLIZ) started in 1993 with the objective of building the capacity of key staff in the projects of Humana People to People. This training teaches skills that enable staff to be leaders in project development.

The FLIZ offers a Basic Course and an Advanced Course. Each course lasts six months. After graduation, participants return to their projects to take over more responsibilities.

The courses focus mainly on training the participants in management, problem solving, and the acquisition of new skills. Training is theoretical and practical, and at the same time it is an exchange of cultural experiences, as the participants come from different African countries and also China and India.

The FLIZ has already graduated 1,750 participants who are working in Humana People to People projects.

Due to project expansion in Mozambique and a demand for training more key staff to head projects, ADPP will establish a Frontline Institute in Mozambique.

Partnership in Development

When ADPP Mozambique was established in 1982, it had very limited funds.

In 1988, ADPP started selling second-hand clothes in order to raise funds for the projects. Between 1988 and 1998, ADPP funded almost all its projects, in terms of basic expenses, with income from clothes and shoe sales. In the late 1990s, ADPP started expanding its projects, especially the Schools for the Teachers of the Future. There was a demand for more funds to respond to the gradual project growth, and second-hand clothes and shoe sales could not meet this demand alone.

The work of Partnership in Development started with contacts to organizations, embassies and UN agencies with the aim of combining efforts and receiving assistance through major financial donations, donations in kind, single donations and long term commitments.

ADPP Mozambique has created its own National Partnership office that also cooperates with Humana People to People in this field.

The Partnership in Development has been of paramount importance in the project development and the ADPP expansion in Mozambique, where it has grown from a small organization to a countrywide association, benefiting more than 5 million people.

Today, about 73% of the funds for ADPP projects come from Partnership in Development and 10% from sale of Second-hand Clothes and Shoes.

The Government of Mozambique, through the Ministry of Education and Culture, is the major ADPP partner. Most of the projects are within the education area where ADPP works as an extension of the Government’s efforts to implement its strategic plan.

The Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UFF Finland are two of the partners with long term commitments who have played a core role in the establishment of the Schools for the Teachers of the Future in Mozambique, as well as support to Vocational Schools and Child Aid projects.

During the last years, other major funds have come from the governments of the United States, the Netherlands and Spain. The most recent major donors are USDA and USAID through the PEPFAR (President´s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) program.

Throughout the years, many partners have contributed to ADPP projects. The uniting of forces always shows good results and therefore we give a hearty thanks to all partners, both small and large, who have contributed to the development of ADPP.
