The Norwegian Embassy in Mozambique on Tuesday signed an agreement with the Aga Khan Mozambique Foundation with a view to supporting around 3,000 families – both displaced persons and their hosts – in Metuge and Chiure districts, Cabo Delgado.
The project, budgeted at more than US$1 million, aims to contribute to the development and recovery of agricultural activity in displaced communities through the provision of materials, agricultural inputs and technical knowledge.
The initiative targets women and young people from the districts of Chiure and Metuge in Cabo Delgado province, and will be implemented by the Aga Khan Foundation in Mozambique with financial support from the Norwegian Embassy.
The memorandum of understanding was signed by the national director of the Aga Khan Foundation, Agostinho Mamade, and advisor to the Norwegian Embassy in Mozambique, Sissel Idland.
This project is a reinforcement of an already existing partnership between the Embassy and the Aga Khan Foundation.
The institutions have a partnership of several years standing in the implementation of community development projects in Cabo Delgado, with a highlight on the Bilibiza Agrarian Institute improvement and modernisation project.
The Diplomatic Representative of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) Nazim Ahmad thanked Norway for its support, recalling that the Aga Khan Foundation Mozambique (FAK)had been active in Cabo Delgado since 2000, with the improvement of the quality of life of the local population one of its main concerns.
