Synopsis (short abstract) The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and World Food Programme (WFP) co-managed the final evaluation of the joint programme “Accelerate Progress towards Millennium Development Goal 1C in Mozambique” in partnership with the European Union Delegation. The evaluation ensured a participatory process. In addition to having a management group, it counted on a reference group formed by the programme task force and national counterparts. This was fundamental to address the challenges arisen from this exercise and to cope with the delays caused by the cyclones Idai and Kenneth in an ethical manner. As a result of this joint and collaborative exercise completed in 2020, four case studies were produced to document and disseminate good practices with potential to contribute to the achievement of SDG2; i.e. i) reducing food insecurity and malnutrition through a multisector approach, ii) nutrition education and social behaviour change communication, iii) e-vouchers, and iv) farmer field schools.

    Terminal evaluation of the project “Strengthening capacities of agricultural producers to cope with climate change for increased food security through the Farmer Field School approach in Mozambique”

    Mozambique is a low income country, with almost 70 percent of the population living in rural areas. Farmers suffer from lack of access to technology and qualified technical services. The country is also extremely vulnerable to increasingly prevalent natural phenomena, such as cyclones Dineo, Idai and Kenneth, which destroyed crops and agricultural infrastructure between 2017 and 2019. The country faces challenges in implementing regulatory instruments for the integration of practices climate change adaptation (CCA) in the agricultural sector.The Government of Mozambique, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) have joined efforts to increase the capacity of Mozambique's agricultural and pastoral sectors to deal with climate change.The project generated relevant results, including the incorporation of specific actions for CCA in strategic plans at ministerial level and in Economic and Social Plans and District Budgets (PESOD); the preparation of Mozambique's nationally determined contribution (NDC); the creation of local and community plans to adapt to climate change; the installation of 11 agrometeorological stations and greater financial autonomy for beneficiary women.The evaluation recommended that FAO support the government to ensure the integration of CCA into key policy documents and the integration of the Farmer Field Schools (FFS) into future rural development programmes, including the new Sustenta Programme, and that, in future programmes, FAO will focus on developing value chains and promoting farmers' access to markets.
