Promoting Linkages Between Social Protection, Agriculture and Food Security in Response to COVID in Mozambique - TCP/MOZ/3802 2024

Food and nutrition security remains a challenge in Mozambique despite a strong policy framework and a series of strategies and action plans to promote poverty reduction, including the Food and Nutrition Security Strategy and the National Basic Social Security Strategy (ENSSB II-2016-2024). The majority of the population lives in rural areas and depends on subsistence farming. The low productivity of the agriculture sector, combined with a poor quality of basic social services and the vulnerability of the sector to climatic shocks, has led to persistently high levels of child undernutrition, food insecurity and poverty. Over 50 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, 24 percent faces chronic food insecurity and 53 percent of children below two years are undernourished.
