This project aims to increase the wellbeing and resilience of the most vulnerable populations in Mozambique, especially children, women, including victims of domestic violence, women-headed households, and people living with disabilities. This project works closely with the Government of Mozambique to provide technical assistance to strengthen the capacity of social protection institutions to expand and effectively deliver gender-responsive social assistance programs. This project provides urgent mobile cash transfers to urban and peri-urban program beneficiaries to address immediate shocks and loss of income caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, helping them meet their essential needs and preserve nutrition. Targeted messaging on COVID-19 prevention addressing gender equality issues and on nutrition accompany every cash transfer. The project plans to gradually shift its support to the expansion of the child grant support program, helping vulnerable households affected by COVID-19 and with children between the ages zero and two with cash transfers and a comprehensive care component. This project supports beneficiaries to adopt positive practices related to health, nutrition, and hygiene, including ways to access referral mechanisms to social services. Community health care workers conduct specialized home visits for families at risk to promote and improve the household’s positive care practices.

The Project is a collaboration between academic researchers at University of Waterloo and the autonomous vessel research being undertaken at NRC- Ocean, coastal and River Engineering (OCRE). The University of Waterloo will explore motion planning techniques for robotic platforms to be applied to marine vessels. The NRC will develop a testbed for autonomous surface ships which would be used to validate and apply cutting-edge motion planning techniques to improve performance of autonomous surface ships in ice.
