Mozambique - Inclusive Agro-Food Value Chain Project for PROCAVA

The Inclusive Agri-Food Value Chain Development Project (PROCAVA) aims to accelerate the transformation of the Poultry Sector in Mozambique through competitive, inclusive, and sustainable growth. Its primary focus is on integrating family farming and the private sector into productive poultry value chains, including maize and soybean. The project is built upon the recommendations derived from the High-Level Summit, known as Dakar II, which took place in February 2023 in Dakar, co-hosted by the Bank and the Government of Senegal. PROCAVA will introduce measures that mitigate the impacts of climatic shocks and improve the sector's overall adaptive capacity. By adopting climate-smart agricultural practices and resilient production systems, the country can better withstand the challenges posed by climate change and ensure the long-term sustainability of its agricultural sector. The project has four main components, namely: (i) improved production and market linkages (of the target maize, soybean and poultry value chains), (ii) climate-resilient market-linked infrastructure, (iii) institutional and policy strengthening and implementation support, and (iv) contingent emergency response. The project contributes to climate finance, with 15 million USD of the total approved amount dedicated to adaptation.
