ProjectFactsheetSupporting Food Security and Nutrition in Mozambique - GCP/MOZ/116/BEL 2020
Also available in:
No results found.This project was designed as part of an integrated programme to support food security and nutrition in the north of Gaza province in southern Mozambique. The main focus of the component of the programme that was implemented by FAO was to boost the livelihoods of rural families in five districts. This was to be done through a series of interventions, including the creation of Farmer Field Schools (FFSs) and Pastoralist Field Schools (PFSs) to increase production and productivity levels in agriculture and livestock, the organization of awareness-raising activities, training and the construction of food storage facilities to reduce post-harvest losses, the provision of support to natural resource management committees to facilitate the improvement of natural resource management, and the dissemination of materials to improve nutrition education, mainly in primary schools. The implementation of the project was affected by a severe drought; however, the mid-term review led to a series of recommendations as to how to proceed despite this major constraint. Within the revised monitoring framework, significant progress was made towards achieving the objectives of the project. -
ProjectFactsheetRestoring Agricultural Production for Drought-Affected Households in Mozambique - TCP/MOZ/3603 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Mozambique has suffered from the effects of the El Niño-induced drought of 2016, which has also affected the whole of Southern Africa. The drought significantly impacted upon the agricultural sector, with the central and southern provinces of the country hit particularly hard. An assessment of the situation in February 2016 in Gaza, Inhambane, Manica, Sofala and Tete provinces found that although more than 45 percent of households sowed least three times in the agricultural season, losses among the main food crops (maize, sorghum, groundnut and cowpea) were very high. With 80 percent of farmers losing their crops as a result of the drought – in many cases resulting in livestock deaths – the project was implemented in response to the concerns of the Government of Mozambique over the lack of seeds that might enable affected families to restore their production capacity and reduce their dependence on food aid. -
ProjectFactsheetEmpowering Women and Youth to Improve Household Food and Nutrition Security in Egypt - GCP/EGY/024/ITA 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Economic stagnation, rising poverty, and a high unemployment rate have all contributed to a lack of household food and nutrition security in Egypt. This situation has negatively impacted the nutritional outcomes of vulnerable households, and especially children, whose health status has deteriorated in recent years. This project was designed to foster the creation of a food-secure environment that would improve access to food and increase local knowledge of nutrition in some of Upper Egypt’s poorest villages. The primary beneficiaries of the project interventions were women and children. Government staff from relevant ministries also benefited from training to increase their technical and managerial skills. The overall objectives of the project were to build capacities, to improve and increase food production and income generating activities, to raise awareness of health and nutrition, and to create a monitoring and evaluation system to track the results of project interventions.
