General

The overall goal of the project is ‘to enhance women’s food security and climate change resilience, and to empower them and their communities in selected disaster prone districts to become change agents in local decision-making, development and implementation of women’s economic empowerment, climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies’. The project has been designed by UN Women Mozambique in response to the disproportionate negative effect of adverse climate events and related food insecurity on women in the most frequently affected areas of Mozambique. It aims to facilitate relevant and effective strategies in support of the affected women and their communities, while promoting the role of the women themselves in the preparedness and response to these challenges, and scaled up coordinated institutional support. The project is aligned to UN Women global priorities and regional “Securing the rights and livelihoods of rural women in the context of food crisis and climate change” programme, to the UN Development Assistance Framework in Mozambique as well as to Mozambican government policy.
