Italy helps WFP boost farmers resilience in Mozambique
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) welcomes a contribution of €2 million from the Government of Italy that will help tackle climate change-induced vulnerabilities and strengthen food and nutritional security for up to 10,000 people including smallholder farmers, youth and women from selected farmers organizations in Tete province, in central Mozambique.
The contribution, which was allocated through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) comes at a critical time as the climate crisis intensifies, with extreme weather events such as cyclones, floods and droughts, occurring more frequently and intensely.
Italy is a strategic partner of WFP’s in Mozambique. Since 2020, Italy has been funding the emergency activities in Cabo Delgado and operations of the WFP-managed United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS), in support to all humanitarian entities. The latest contribution is the first one for development and resilience-building activities aimed at boosting farmers’ capacity and enhancing food security.
