Sustainable Livelihoods Development Programme in Gorongosa, Sofala, Mozambique

About this project

In order to promote inclusive development and prevent conflict triggered by inequality, small producers in areas that have benefited little or not at all from public or private FNS support so far, should also be assisted with basic support to improve their livelihoods including agricultural productivity, land use an nutritional situation. In this regard,a consortium led by the Gorongosa Restoration Project, a public-private partnership, proposes to implement a sustainable livelihoods programme in 6 districts that surround the Gorongosa National Park in the Zambezi Valley, Sofala province. Amongst others,the activity will improve access of smallholder farmers to markets, good quality seeds, knowledge on proper soil fertility management, and integrated pest control management, as well as other climate adaptive agricultural techniques including agroforestry. By improving livelihoods of these communities, the activity will simultaneously contribute to biodiversity protection in Gorongosa N ational Park (GNP), considered to be one of the best game parks in Africa and a haven for wildlife with many endemic species. The proposal is for a 5-year programme with an estimated budget of EUR 20 million, with potential to directly reach approximately 45,000 small scale producer households with emphasis on women and youth-headed households.
