The project targets six districts in the provinces of Tete and Zambezia in Mozambique that are highly vulnerable to adverse effects of climate change. Storms, flooding and drought have made it increasingly difficult to practise agriculture and to have sufficient amounts of fresh drinking water. However, the inhabitants do not yet see this as a permanent trend linked to climate change. The project will make the inhabitants aware of the consequences of climate change in their area and enable them to advocate district governments for support to climate change adaptation. Local climate adaptation plans have been approved by the district governments, but they list a huge number of interventions without priority-setting and with budgets far above available resources. The project will enable communities to influence these plans and to support that the adaptation interventions meeting the needs of the poor rural population are prioritised and implemented.
