Mozambique - Netherlands Additional Financing under the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF)

This intervention concerns the additional financing under the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF) related to the Post Cyclone Idai and Kenneth Emergency Recovery and Resilience Programme (PCIREP). The programme is designed in response to the devastation and destruction caused by these phenomena in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. It aims to restore livelihoods, wellbeing and build resilience of the communities in the three affected countries with the emphasis of reaching the furthest behind first. The program proposes solutions to tackle recovery and resilience processes in a medium to long-term perspective through a multi-sectoral and build-back-better approach to infrastructure reconstruction/rehabilitation, restoration of agricultural livelihoods and promotion of resilience to climate shocks, disasters, and extreme weather events. The programme is expected to restore livelihoods and wellbeing of the affected communities and increase access to productive resources through agriculture productivity and resilience and rehabilitation of socioeconomic infrastructure to facilitate integration, connectivity and economic activities in the region. The programme has three components, namely: (i) Enhanced agricultural productivity and resilience, (ii) Sustainable socioeconomic infrastructure and (iii) Institutional strengthening and programme management. The project primarily contributes to climate adaptation results. As such, 60% of the total approved amount is dedicated to adaptation.
