Resumen
Descripción
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.
