Protected and conserved area(s) concerned

Maputo National Park (MNAP)

The BIOPAMA AC Objectives addressed

• Enhance the management and governance of priority areas by addressing existing limitations; ​
• Enforce the legal framework required to achieve effective biodiversity conservation in protected areas; ​
• Enhance the livelihoods of local people by supporting local initiatives.

Priority need addressed

• Resource Management- the protected area has active management activities, such as habitat rehabilitation, population monitoring, protection of key-places, control of invasive species and monitoring of the sustainable extraction of natural resources. ​
• Local communities’ contribution to management decisions related with communities, however there is open communication between 3 locals and park authority; ​
• Local Community Livelihoods improved, but not significantly through conservation efforts (e.g. employments in the protected area and tourism).

The change the project implementation will bring for the protected area(s)

• Capacity of the CCP Members and community members on associativism, finance management, stakeholder engagement, grievance mechanism and resource fisheries management built​
• 12 CCP members trained on enforcement skills by park authorities ​
• 05 community members, identified by the CCPs in collaboration with park authorities, 03 CCP members from the Santa Maria, Mabuluco and Inhaca Island and 03 park rangers trained in artisanal and subsistence fisheries monitoring techniques ​
• At least 10 new community members of Santa Maria identified and hired by the CCP and trained in mussel mariculture and market value chain by the park authorities ​
• At least 15 community members of the Santa Maria, Mabuluco and Inhaca Island communities trained in the development of tourism initiatives. ​
