UNCDF has since 2011, at global level, run the programme LoCAL (Local Climate Adaptive Living) to deliver climate finance solutions for local governments in developing countries, partially using Swedish funding through Sida (54040181 Financial Inclusion, 54020137 Leveraging Domestic Finance and 61050459 Last Mile Financing Trust Fund (ongoing)). The programme is now being replicated at country level in Asia and in Africa. In Mozambique, UNCDF developed a country programmatic framework and initiated a pilot project in Gaza province starting 2015, with additional financing from the Belgian Cooperation. The proposed contribution "Local Climate Adaptive Living - LoCAL Mozambique" is a first upscaling phase of the already ongoing pilot project. It aims to reduce the vulnerability of the rural population and improve resilience to climate change at district level through increase in access to climate change adaptation financing through performance-based climate resilient grants (PBCRGs). The main expected results are (in short):1. Effective financing mechanism established and operationalised.2. Climate change mainstreamed in district planning and budgeting.3. Climate Change resilient investments (infrastructure and services)4. Monitoring and evaluation for Learning.5. Preparations for national upscale phase (from 2023 and onwards).The proposed programme will be implemented during 2018-2023 in the districts of Massingir, Guijá, Mabalane och Chicualacuala in the Gaza province (ongoing pilot phase since 2015) with gradual upscaling in these districts and replication in Chigubo, Massangena, Chókwe and Chibuto districts in Gaza and to the districts of Jangamo, Panda, Funhalouro, Govuro and Mabote in the Inhambane province. The selection of districts has been done on the basis of an analysis of vulnerability to climate change, in consultation with concerned stakeholders. The central idea of LoCAL Mozambique is to provide financing as PBCRGs of priority actions identified in the PLAs by local communities, both infrastructure and non-infrastructure, not at household level. Examples of PBCRGs under the ongoing LoCAL pilot phase: Equipment for water supply and irrigation systems, parts of a maternity ward, rainwater harvesting dam for livestock and agriculture, electrical power transformation post (for irrigation scheme), re-roofing of primary schools, and a Resilience techniques training center - Livestock branch. Budgets per project during the 2017/2018 season range between 0,4 Mkr - 1,1 Mkr.Grant allocations are performance-based. A basic formula for dividing available funding between participating districts based on population size and land area is first applied. From the 2nd year onwards, annual allocations are re-distributed based on scores attained in annual district performance assessments. The pre-defined district performance measures include some related to Public Finance Management and Local Governance, to Food Security and Nutrition, and to Climate Change Adaptation.The programme foresees that large scale financing of adaptation to climate change will be available for upscaling and replication of local adaptation action in Mozambique, beyond the proposed programme, and aims to increase capacities to attract and efficiently and effectively make use of such funds.UNCDF is responsible for the programme, including the forwarding of funds to the Government of Mozambique. EoS will monitor the conditions of its agreement with UNCDF and the achievement of results, and participate as an observer in the Programme Board. Priority topics and fora for dialogue and follow-up have been identified.

Result
In 2023 Sida the through LOCAL project continued operating in Gaza and Inhambane provicnes and managed to fully up scale to the northern part of Mozambique, specifically to Angoche and Ilha de Mozambique districts in Nampula province and Maua, Metarica and Marrupa districts in Niassa Province as part of the operational geographic focus the Swedish strategy in Mozambique. Through the LoCAL project, Sida supported gender mainstreaming into Local Adaptation planning, financing and implementation of climate-resilient and small-scale infrastructure at district level, with approved plans worth approximately SEK 46.5 million in 2023. Projects in water, renewable energy, schools and health care have reached 67,713 people , the majority women. Sida through LoCAL programme supported the participation of 6 delegates of the Mozambique government to Conference of Parties COP 28 in Dubai out of which 3 Administrators were from the local authorities of Niassa, Gaza and Inhambane.
The proposed contribution "Local Climate Adaptive Living - LoCAL Mozambique" aims to improve resilience to climate change at district level through increase in access to climate change adaptation financing through performance-based climate resilient grants (PBCRG). The expected long-term impact is "Improved food security & nutrition and reduced vulnerability of people in 13 districts in Gaza and Inhambane from 2018-2023". The main expected results are: 1. Effective performance-based climate resilient grant system (finance mechanism) is established in Mozambique and operational for additional funding" 2. Inclusive, effective and accountable climate change- mainstreamed planning and budgeting processes at the district level 3. Climate change resilient investments (services and infrastructure) are managed efficiently and effectively and transparently implemented by the participating districts through the PBCRG (Performance Based Climate Resilient Grant) system. 4. Monitoring and evaluation for Learning.M&E system and lessons learned and national policies informed about experiences from launch of LoCAL and integration of climate change in all steps of the local PFM process and improvements of the PFM 5. Completed roll-out plans and capacity building support for new districts in new province(s) by end of programme (beyond 2023).
