Mozambique
Mozambique is a country rich in water resources, with several major rivers, including the Zambezi, Limpopo, and Rovuma, flowing through its vast landscapes. The country is highly vulnerable to climate change, which affects water availability, flood risks, and agricultural productivity. Mozambique’s diverse ecosystems, from wetlands to coastal areas, rely on effective water management and sustainable practices to support both human communities and biodiversity.
IWMI in Mozambique
In Mozambique, IWMI works to enhance water security and agricultural productivity through innovative approaches that integrate water management and climate resilience. This includes utilizing advanced digital tools and data-driven strategies to manage water resources efficiently across various scales, from local communities to larger river basins. By focusing on sustainable water use in agricultural systems, IWMI promotes water-efficient irrigation practices and supports the development of resilient food production systems that can withstand the impacts of climate change.
Additionally, IWMI is actively involved in improving the capacity of local stakeholders and institutions to manage water resources more effectively. Through partnerships and capacity-building initiatives, the organization supports the integration of water, energy, and food systems to increase the resilience of rural communities, particularly in the face of droughts and other environmental stresses. This comprehensive approach not only enhances food security but also aims to promote sustainable development by leveraging water as a critical resource in Mozambique’s agricultural transformation.
