We are happy to precent the report here which includes highly relevant observations and findings as well constructive inputs and recommendations not only for our project partner Papa Pesca ltd, but also for Norges Vel and our project donor The Ministry of foreign affairs, through the Norwegian embassy to Mozambique.
With two grants totaling over 300 million NOK over five years, we aim to strengthen small-scale food producers in Mozambique, Madagascar, and Tanzania. This gives us a unique opportunity to continue our contribution to food security and value chain development in these countries.
