Published purpose

This project aims to reduce rural poverty and enhance inclusion towards post-conflict stability in central Sofala. This project seeks to improve health and education services, advance local economic opportunities, and strengthen participatory governance in the Gorongosa National Park (GNP) and its buffer zone, with special attention to women and girls. Project activities include: (1) improving reading and life skills for girls through support to girls’ clubs; (2) providing skills training to women smallholders on good agronomic practices and climate-smart techniques for essential food and cash crops (cashew and honey); and (3) establishing Women’s Development Committees to promote greater participation of women in community decision-making.
