| Contents | The main objective of the LINK project is to strengthen the climate resilience of highly vulnerable rural communities in Mozambique through systematic integration between local adaptation planning and government social protection networks. Implemented by Save the Children Australia, the initiative supports the decentralised authorities of nine districts of the provinces of Gaza, Manica and Tete to design Local Adaptation Plans (PLAs) and integrate them into public budgets. By channeling support through the Productive Social Action Programme (PSP), the project enables the engagement of households in situations of extreme poverty and led by women in resilient public works and solutions based on nature, ensuring a socio-economic security network capable of mitigating the impacts of droughts and cyclones. |
