This project aims to use food security and agriculture as a platform for women’s empowerment. The project works to advance the rights of women and girls by providing gender appropriate and climate-smart agricultural training, and helping women to increase and control their incomes. The project also addresses harmful norms that limit women’s participation in agriculture and works to reduce sexual and gender-based violence. Project activities include: (1) providing training to women and their communities on natural disaster planning and response, natural resource management, and conflict resolution; (2) providing training to women and their families on nutrition, including topics related to equitable food distribution and child-feeding practices; (3) distributing small livestock, poultry and other inputs to women so they can engage in income-generating activities; (4) providing training to women on leadership, functional numeracy, literacy, and management skills; and (5) facilitating discussions on the reduction of gender inequalities, and the prevention of sexual and gender-based violence.

This project will support women's and girls' economic empowerment in rural districts along Mozambique's North-South Gaza/Maputo corridor. It will ultimately improve the economic empowerment of women and girl members of agricultural associations within the National Farmers' Union (União Nacional de Camponeses - UNAC). PAEF will adopt a multi-faceted approach that highlights women's and girls' constraints with regard to climate change-friendly income-generating activities -- constraints that perpetuate their lack of power and control over economic resources and their vulnerability to sexual and reproductive health risks. The project will partner with recognized Mozambican organizations. Agro-food production will be stimulated through experimental agroforestry and field training focused on climate smart agriculture. The project will accompany 30 UNAC-affiliated agricultural associations and will create and manage a cooperative venture that will provide products and services that respond to women's and girls' needs and promote high-value-added activities. Finally, PAEF will strengthen the practices of the Department of the Environment and Rural Development (MITADER), the Ministry of Women and Social Action (MFAS) and civil society organizations involved in Maputo and Gaza Provinces, so that they focus on women and girls' economic empowerment and reducing their vulnerability.
