Save the Children in Mozambique plans to phase out from the province of Gaza to Nampula by 2015, and the objective of my internship was to provide guidance during the program design process. An analysis of the context highlighted the increased demand for stakeholder collaboration and lessons learned from previous programs, and therefore I recommended government collaboration from the very beginning to facilitate program sustainability, the development of education programs that take into account the specific needs of local children, and efforts to improve the poor literacy conditions in local communities in the districts of Nacala Porto and Nacala Velha. The analysis of secondary sources and the insights from interviews and focus groups also supported these recommendations. My internship helped to support Save the Children in Mozambique in their aim to provide cost-effective and sustainable solutions to promote improved child’s rights, while taking into account the strong demand for results in the province of Nampula.
