Strengthening Food Systems and Food and Nutrition Security in Beira Corridor, Mozambique (Mangwana)

A consortium of Technoserve, Resilience BV, Agência de Desenvolvimento Econômico da Província de Manica (ADEM) and the Zambeze Valley Development Agency (ZVDA) has partnered with the Embassy for the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) to support The Embassy’s EUR 30 million investment in the Beira Corridor. The consortium partners will collaborate to strengthen food systems, food and nutrition security. Mangwana, meaning ‘tomorrow’ in the local languages spoken in the Beira Corridors, is a four-year programme that will transform the agricultural sector in the two provinces in the Beira Corridor. Our vision of the programme is to steer a better tomorrow by improving local farming systems which will produce nutritious food for the people of the Beira Corridor, especially women and children. We are investing in the future by supporting farmers to adopt better practices that will improve their food security, incomes and the environment (soil, water and climate). Mangwana will benefit over 227,000 people and contribute significantly to the goals in the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands’ Food Security and Nutrition Policy and Framework and our own goals for local food systems transformation.
