| Contents | The main objective of the project is to strengthen food security and nutritional resilience of vulnerable small farmers in Mozambique — with special focus on women — in the face of recurrent droughts and climate shocks in the provinces of Gaza and Tete. Implemented by the World Food Programme (WFP), the initiative uses an integrated risk management approach that combines the introduction of conservation farming practices with access to local meteorological services for agricultural planning. By linking these actions to financial tools, such as agricultural insurance indexed to climate conditions and community savings and rotating credit groups, the project reduces the risks of agricultural activity, reduces post-harvest losses and enables rural families to diversify their incomes in a sustainable manner. |
