Description

This project aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of Mozambique MPA practitioners, building capacity within relevant institutions to promote effective management of Mozambique's MPA network. By establishing a long-term training resource in the form of an Academy, the project aims to sustain the impact of this capacity building, providing opportunities to train the future cohort of MPA managers.
The objectives of the project are:
• To design a modular training programme covering the MPA implementation cycle, from MPA identification and designation to effective management, regulation enforcement, and community engagement, incorporating input from relevant experts in Mozambique and the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region.
• To establish links with the Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association (WIOMSA) to ensure training materials align with regionally accepted standards and guidelines, promoting the WIO-COMPAS accreditation of participants following completion of the training programme.
• To provide certification (e.g. through a Mozambique academic institution) for the course completion.
• To approach relevant Government departments and key institutions to seek input and feedback to the training programme.
• To support Academy participants in the completion of the training programme, covering attendance costs and facilitating travel and subsistence costs where necessary.
• To promote Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) and prioritise Safeguarding throughout the project.
• To design a sustainable financing plan to ensure the longevity of the Academy.
• Summary report of the Academy development, achievements so far, and next steps.

The outputs would include:
• Module design and timeframe for course delivery.
• Module content for the course, including details of links with WIOMSA and course certification (with course content delivered in Portuguese).
• GESI and Safeguarding plan/statement.
• Sustainable financing plan for the long-term running of the Academy.
• Confirmation of participants training completion.

We envisage that these objectives could be replaced by a more detailed project plan provided by the prospective supplier.
