Background. The European Defence Agency was established on 12 July 2004, and is governed by Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1835 defining the statute, seat and operational rules of the European Defence Agency. The Agency has its headquarters in Brussels. The main task of EDA is to support the Council and the Member States in their effort to improve the Union's defence capabilities in the field of crisis management and to sustain the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) as it currently stands and as it develops in the future. The Agency is structured into four directorates. The Corporate Services Directorate (CSD) and three operational directorates: Industry, Synergies and Enablers (ISE); Capability, Armament & Planning (CAP); Research, Technology and Innovation (RTI). The Agency is an “outward-facing” organisation, constantly interacting with its shareholders, the participating Member States, as well as with a wide range of stakeholders. It works in an integrated way, with multi-disciplinary teams representing all of the Agency’s functional areas, to realise its objectives. Its business processes are flexible and oriented towards achieving results. Staff at all levels need to demonstrate the corresponding qualities of commitment, flexibility, innovation, and team- working; to work effectively with shareholders and stakeholder groups, formal and informal; and to operate without the need for detailed direction.

Background. 1. Iniziato nel 2004 con l’esperienza pilota del Lar do Sonhos7, oggi il progetto delle Escolinhas conta con 4 centri per l’educazione prescolare (3-6 anni) che accolgono 711 bambini/e (2015). L’obiettivo principale del progetto Escolinhas è quello di assicurare lo sviluppo integrale del bambino/a inteso come garanzia di un’alimentazione minima, di alcune prestazioni sanitarie di base e l’integrazione /accesso all’educazione primaria. Il progetto prevede quindi la fornitura di servizi alla prima infanzia, la sensibilizzazione dei genitori e encarregados8 e il coinvolgimento delle strutture amministrative locali (Segreteria d’Educazione, della Salute e della Donna e dell’Azione sociale).
Background. 149. Due sono gli interventi presi in considerazione in questa sezione: il piano urbanistico di Caia e Sena e il Piano di ordinamento territoriale del distretto di Caia. Mentre per il piano urbanistico non esistono obblighi di legge, essendo Xxxx e Sena capoluoghi rurali, il secondo è un adempimento previsto dalla legge mozambicana. Gli elementi di rilevanza che hanno condotto a questi interventi sono ben riassunti nel documento “Situacion Atual” del Piano di Ordinamento Territoriale (POTC) che riassumiamo di seguito. 150. I due centri urbani del distretto (Caia e Sena) si sono sviluppati molto rapidamente negli anni dopo il 2005 sia in termini di funzioni acquisite sia in numero di abitanti. In particolare, Caia ha acquisto una dimensione urbana, passando da un insieme di rovine post belliche e insediamenti spontanei a una realtà amministrativa importante. Sena, a sua volta, ha rafforzato la sua vocazione commerciale e sta riprendendo il ruolo importante che aveva in precedenza, anche in relazione alla ripresa del traffico ferroviario.
Background. 288. La situazione del settore rurale e agricolo in generale risente di alcuni vincoli strutturali, tra i quali: ·∙ La terra è proprietà dello stato. Ne consegue che anche in considerazione dei diritti consuetudinari e quando ci sono conflitti i piccoli produttori non hanno meccanismi per difendere i loro diritti e interessi; ·∙ i principali strumenti di politica economica, dal credito, ai tassi di cambio, alle sovvenzioni, ecc., hanno dimostrato di avere un impatto negativo sull’agricoltura; ·∙ Le famiglie rurali sono particolarmente vulnerabili ai disastri naturali, come le siccità e le inondazioni in quanto spesso esse risiedono in aree a rischio; ·∙ I cambiamenti climatici hanno reso sempre più frequenti le perdite dei già scarsi raccolti e le famiglie sono quindi immediatamente esposte alla minaccia di insicurezza alimentare. Nel 2012, circa il 66% degli agricoltori poveri ha perso i propri raccolti a causa di calamità naturali. Nel periodo 2015/16 si registra già una perdita del 50% dei raccolti (anche quelli da esportazione); ·∙ La prevalenza di HIV / AIDS è un altro punto di vulnerabilità per le famiglie rurali povere, che aggrava ulteriormente i livelli di povertà e di malnutrizione. In ambito rurale il virus colpisce i membri più produttivi delle famiglie e consuma le risorse già insufficienti, che sono principalmente utilizzate per pagare le spese mediche e l’assistenza. Questo fenomeno ha prodotto come effetto l’aumento di donne capofamiglia.
