1. Brief description
The aim of the project is to create awareness on HIV/AIDS and to improve the access to
continuous prevention, counselling, testing and treatment measures for actors operating
along the value chain of the harbour of Beira.
At the beginning of the project a workshop with 24 relevant cooperation and subcontractor
companies of Cornelder will be organised. More than 10 companies will sign a workplace
policy and implement a workplace programme with the support of the project manager.
Focal persons at each company and peer educators will be identified and trained.
Workshops for approximately 1.000 permanent employees and their family members (up to
10.000 persons) will be organised. They will include theatre groups, information on
HIV/AIDS prevention, counselling and treatment. Testing campaigns will either be held on
site or participants will be referred to surrounding health stations. The project will also
extend to other stakeholders of the harbour like ship crews, truck drivers and entertainment
sector employees including sex workers. For those persons, special information sessions
will be conducted and they will be motivated to undergo testing and treatment. Around 10
activistas coming from the entertainment and informal sector will be trained. Through a
close link of the project manager to HIV/AIDS government structures, the supply of
antiretroviral drugs as well as access to continuous counselling and medical care will be
secured for people in need in and around the harbour of Beira.

2.2 Major deviations from the original results/indicators
If there have been any effects (either positive or negative) on the objectives / results / indicators,
please give details of the reasons behind them. If there is a need for action, e.g. an alteration to the
existing contract (term, cost sharing, etc.), please refer readers to section 4 of the report and explain
it there.

Though there was a financial delay at the start of the project, the activities are now up to date as we
have fast tracked the programme up to the end of our first year. This has been achieved successfully
as we have touched the Resource (63% of the workers undergo VCT) which was scheduled in
August 2008.
The project had been delayed because of the late funds which arrived on the account of CdM on the
31th of January 2008, though the official start of the project was the 30th of November 2007.
Therefore the project results according to the indicators could have delayed by about 3 months in the
first year. In spite of these delays, activities are already planned in order to catch up with the initial
indicators within this year.
2.3 Partner inputs / contributions by third parties
Please explain briefly whether any third parties have provided inputs in accordance with the original
plans and what they are.
Until now no company has given any monetary contribution to the project. Most of the companies
contribute by giving free time and fee location for their peer educators and focal persons to
participate in the workshops. Now the companies have also organised free time for general workers
to attend our Information Communication and Education (ICE) Sessions (about 6405 worker have
participated as an accumulated figure, with the help of PSI and HAI who offered a Theatre group for
30 sessions each in August )
3. Evaluation of achievement of objectives
(Please give a brief summary and a critical evaluation of what can be derived from the achievement
of results and indicators. If there are any particular risks, they should also be noted here. If there is a
need for action, please refer readers to section 4 of the report and explain it there as specifically as
possible.
The project´s progress is satisfactory and consistent as we have managed to meet the deadlines of
most of our activities as scheduled even after the 3 month delay. We have also managed to touch
around double the expected number of workers in our first VCT Campaign. The project is now
running in accordance to initial programs.
4. Need for action
(Please give details of proposed actions on the part of GTZ derived from sections 2 and 3 above or
from other findings. Your proposals may relate to specific recommendations, provision of funds /
reallocations or other changes to the contract).
Though the progress of the project is satisfactory, there is need for a project manager assistant. This
is because as the project is aimed at adding more companies and stretching to informal workers and
families of workers in the second year in accordance to the contract, the tasks that have to be carried
out (Accounting, monitoring, training, organisation, paperwork and fieldwork amongst others tasks)
increase rapidly.
Practical experience in this project has show that more money is spend in the category Other Cost
(information Material =15000.00€) than in the category Other costs (Medical Services=45000.00€).
We recommend the transfer of 20000.00€ from the medical services to the information material
account

4.1 Consequences and need for action by the German company/
company in the partner country
The communication between GTZ Maputo and the CdM – GTZ PPP project is running well, as a
result, it is currently not necessary for more actions, but of course administrative coordination among
all parties involved.
