Resumo

Since 2011, I have been leading or part of the team who oversaw the design, manage and implementing projects in the field of agriculture, socio-economic, environmental and nature conservation in Mozambique rural and urban areas including: The Niassa Special Reserve, Tchuma Tchato and Chipanje Chetu Community Conservation Areas. Those projects were meant to improve rural people well-being, through the enhancement of their livelihood and income generation (e.g. by providing alternative sources of livelihoods, improving the agriculture systems productivity and diversification, enhance non-timber forest products value chain and diversification of income generation outside agriculture and forest). My broader field of actions includes: i) community-based natural resources management; ii) human-wildlife conflict mitigation; iii) Improve farming systems to be more resilient through sustainable intensification and diversification of agriculture practices; iv) illegal harvesting of natural resources and the drivers for local people engagement in resources harvesting, v) valuation and governance of ecosystem services in the protected areas of Developing Countries; vi) Structure and diversity of ecosystems under disturbance, vii) Forest fires and climate changes; viii) Data management and analyses, ix) Insure the Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, Research & Learning (MEARL), in the project implementation; x) Acquisition of donors intelligence information through desk-based research and partners network; xi) search and identification of funds and analyze resource mobilization trends in Mozambique and globally. I have led the design, management and Implementation of more than 15 grants/projects in partnership with international, national and local stakeholders from government and non-government institutions.
