In Mozambique, the ACAMOZ II project serving the cashew and macadamia sectors

ongoing

This project acts at different levels: i) institutions, ii) territories, iii) farms, in order to accompany and accelerate the agro-ecological transition of the cashew and macadamia sector, and to propose a sustainable model of rural development in the districts covered, which can be replicated at national level in Mozambique.The activities carried out should benefit 3,000 new family cashew nut producers (40% of whom are women from Zambézie province) and macadamia producers in Gurué district and Niassa province, with the aim of increasing their incomes by 20% by the end of the project. This project will capitalize on the first phase of the ACAMOZ project (CMZ1147) by consolidating the logic of improving the structuring of value chains according to an agro-ecological transition approach that will make it possible to reconcile the protection of ecosystems with improved incomes for small producers and gender equality in a strengthened and more transparent institutional context led by the IAM,IP.
