Restructuring Paper Disclosable- Mozambique - Artisanal Fisheries and Climate Change - P149992

The development objective of the First South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Governance and Shared Growth, Aquaculture and Climate Change Projects is to improve community management of selected priority fisheries. This restructuring requires the well-functioning Project Implementation Unit (PIU) for the SWIOFish1-MZ project, under Ministry of Sea, Inland Waters and Fisheries (MIMAIP’s) Directorate of Studies, Planning and Infrastructures (DEPI), take on the role as PIU for FishCC. This change will allow to improve project management by benefiting of a strongly performing PIU, strategically located directly within MIMAIP, leverage synergies between the two projects, and enhance absorption capacity of technical assistance to MIMAIP’s Directorates. The restructuring also involves the Results Framework to be updated to realign indicators and targets with what is realistically achievable within the remaining project timeframe.
