I. PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING
A. Project Status1. The project was declared effective on April 21, 2015 and has been under implementation for 2 years and 6
months. The overall implementation progress is rated Moderately Unsatisfactory, and the project is not on track to meet its PDO by project closure. Implementation delays are estimated to be over 18 months.
2. The main issues affecting proper project implementation are the following: (i) Project Implementation Unit (PIU) technical capacity very low;(ii) A pervasive decentralization process undergone by the Ministry of Sea, Inland Waters and
Fisheries (MIMAIP) transferred key responsibilities from the National Institute for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development (IDEPA), the current project implementing agency, to provinces and district authorities. This caused significant implementation delays mainly due to the inability of IDEPA to manage the change against the initial project setup, which envisaged a central administration.
(iii) Significant delays in delivering payments to Rare, the main service provider for Component 1 and 3, due to administrative difficulties. These delays affected the speed of project implementation.
(iv) Differences in performance across the six selected project sites, significantly correlated with that of Campaign Coordinators (CCs) – key individuals responsible for the advancement of the project. Machangulo and Inhassoro are the two best performing sites, followed by Mefunvo and Závora, while Pomeme and Memba have advanced the least. Please see the Mid-Term Review Mission’s Aide Memoire’s Annex 4 for a detailed report on the implementation status in each site.
3. The main project achievements to date are the following: (a) Component 1: Improve community rights-based fishery management. The first building blocks for the
establishment of sustainable fisheries management practices were initiated in the six project sites, with varying levels of achievement in relation to aspects such as: i) socio-environmental analysis of the sites; ii) analysis of the performance of the Fisheries Community Councils (CCPs) and support to their legalization and operative effectiveness; iii) identification of fisheries and ecosystems for the establishment of Territorial Use of Rights for Fisheries (TURFs) and Reserves; iv) definition of targets for TURFs and respective Reserves; v) definition of target species and key habitats; and vi) definition of options for the location of the TURFs and their respective Reserves.
(b) Component 2: Improve livelihoods. This component did not record significant progress, since the original plan envisioned to begin implementation after sufficient progress on Component 1 and 3. The main achievement relates to an ongoing dialogue with the Ponta do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve, Peace Parks Foundation and other private sector partners, to develop an integrated alternative livelihoods project in Machangulo, for the benefit of the two communities targeted by FishCC.
(c) Component 3: Social Marketing. Campaign Coordinators (CCs) in charge of delivering various activities within the scope of Component 1 and 3 were selected, trained and allocated to each of the six project sites. In particular, CCs received the first phase of university training on social marketing, and coordinated the implementation of activities in Component 1 aimed at the establishment of fisheries management plans.
(d) Component 4: Project Management. Under this component, the six project sites were selected; the PIU was formed and operationalized; the project’s main service provider was selected and hired (Rare); the Project Steering Committee was established and held (February 2017); implementation arrangements for the financial decentralization were established and operationalized.

I. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES
B. Rationale for Project Restructuring
1. Given the above-described key bottlenecks to proper project implementation, the Mid-Term Review Mission held between October 9-16 acknowledged that the current project setup will not allow to achieve the PDO by project closure (April 2019). A Project Restructuring that will modify institutional and operational modifications is therefore necessary to:
(a) Resolve the issues hampering proper project implementation;(b) Accelerate project implementation; (c) Allow to achieve the PDO by project closure (April 2019).
C. Institutional Arrangements and Implementing AgencyHave the well-functioning Project Implementation Unit (PIU) for the SWIOFish1-MZ project, under 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 Task Team has been conducting regular fiduciary and safeguards capacity assessment of the proposed new PIU, and confirms they have the capacity to implement the FishCC project.This change would also allow to consider the institutional changes undergone by MIMAIP and re-align project governance with the new institutional setup. As a line Directorate within MIMAIP, DEPI holds more direct connection with the provincial governments, and is therefore better placed to ensure proper project implementation.
D. Results FrameworkThe Results Framework will be updated to realign indicators and targets with what is realistically achievable within the remaining project timeframe. The revision also clarifies indicators’ description, since current indicators did not provide an agreed-upon description, allowing for discrepancies in interpretation.
