Irrigation to Enhance Yields and Climate-resilience Usage Patterns

Supported by the Climate Investment Fund’s (CIF) Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR), and implemented by the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Sustainable Land & Water Resources Management Project (SLWRMP) in Mozambique seeks to address several pressing development challenges faced by rural farming communities, including the interlinkages​ between climate change, low and/or unequal incomes, food insecurity, and land degradation. Mozambique ranks third amongst African countries most affected by adverse climate change events. The country faces frequent droughts, flooding and cyclones that affect over 58% of the population. The SLWRM project seeks to strengthen the climate resilience of farmers and boost agriculture productivity through sustainable management of land and water resources in 56 priority communities.
