Project General Description
The Resilient Investment for Socio-Economic Empowerment, Peace and Security (RISE-PS) Project takes a proactive approach to preventing conflict by strengthening trust between communities and government through improved access to social infrastructure, addressing unemployment by supporting youth- and women-led enterprises and linking communities to the private sector and bridging skills gaps. Notably, the project also strengthens the capacity of ADIN to effectively direct and coordinate HDP efforts in the region to be more targeted in generating peace outcomes. Additionally, the project will help position the region as a viable destination for sustainable private sector engagement through the Peace and Security Investment Hub. This project aims to address these challenges through complementary interventions to achieve four outcomes: (a) improved access to social infrastructure in conflict-affected communities, through labourintensive approach to stimulate the local economy; (b) expanded livelihoods for vulnerable groups and restored youth and women-led local enterprises, enabling them to be self-reliant and thereby reducing the risk of recruitment by extremist groups; (c) increased job creation for youth and women through private sector-led growth leading to long-term resilience and inclusive development; and (d) institutional capacity of ADIN strengthened to coordinate and enable interventions generating peace dividends. The project is implemented in Palma and Ancuabe districts in the Cabo Delgado province, with the institutional support to ADIN benefiting the entire Northern Region, acknowledging the spillover effects of the conflict in Niassa and Nampula. The overall cost, net of taxes and customs duties, is estimated at USD 28.07 million (UA 21.44 million).
